"Academy's new distribution center in Jeffersonville, GA is now officially open for receiving. You will see it referenced as Twiggs County DC or TCDC on many communications. Please do note that they are all one and the same.
Thank you so much for your support as we've moved forward with this.
A couple of key points...
1. When scheduling your shipments to 704 (Twiggs County DC) please note that during the initial weeks of the start-up operation they are currently only receiving between the hours of 6 a.m. and 12:30p.m. EST. Please schedule accordingly. In the coming weeks, following the successful start-up, receiving hours will be expanded and you will receive additional communication regarding hours of operation for the receiving department.
2. Please continue to reference the N1*ST segment of each 850 transmission sent to you. This will tell you specifically where to ship the merchandise.
A. 004 = Katy DC
B. 704 = Twiggs County DC
Please do check out our website at http://vendor.academy.com/. You can check that you have the new DC's address keyed in correctly, you can read through the SMART Guides which detail out all shipping, packing, ticketing... all requirements and your can see where you shipping area personnel go to schedule a pickup or make an appointment. You might even find some fun facts about Academy along the way.
Thanks again for your cooperation as we opened our new distribution center.
The TCDC Communication Committee"

Academy Update #6 - October 1st structure change.. please read and pass on!
"To all Academy Vendors....
We are approaching some milestones as we get closer and closer to the December 1st opening of our Twiggs County Distribution Center (TCDC) in Jeffersonville, GA.
There are a few things that I need to make sure you are all completely aware of.
1. Starting October 1, 2008 we will start generating 2 PO's for all Weekly Replenishment styles and BOTH PO's will have a ship to of store 004 .. our Katy, TX DC.Please read through the attachment for further clarity.
2. TCDC (Store 704) is not open for receiving at all until after December 1st, 2008
3. Make SURE.. that you have your systems set to read the N1*ST of the 850 transmission. Just because the TCDC (Store 704) is open does NOT mean that your PO is to ship to that DC. It may be product that we still must have delivered to our Katy, TX DC (Store 004). This must be a standard always followed. Always pay attention to that N1*ST or Ship To Store field on the purchase order.
4. http://vendor.academy.com/ has been revamped. Check the website for TCDC updates and it remains the site to answer most of your Academy questions.
Please make sure to read through and pass this email and attachment on to all divisions of your company.

Academy Update Email #5
"As you may have noticed we opted to discontinue sending the same email to everyone every two weeks. We will be sending notifications once per month or as needed. So you may receive something within the next two weeks but it will not be a repeat of previous notices.
No new changes at this point with the opening of our new DC in Twiggs County Georgia.
Just a couple of notes at this point.
1) Reminder that the new DC will not be receiving shipments until December 1st of this year.
2) Some of you have made inquires with the USPS and are being told that the address I've listed below doesn't exist. Twiggs County submitted this change to USPS a month ago but it's not yet in place. It will be by the time that shipping will start.
The rest of this email is a duplicate of the email previous sent out three times previously.
~~~~
To all Academy vendors...
To make sure that we keep you all abreast of the progress of the new Academy DC in Twiggs Country, Georgia.. we will begin sending out an update every two weeks. If there is nothing new we will at least advise you of this.
Attached is a version of the letter that was sent out in February to all of the EDI contacts. Hopefully this was relayed to all of your offices. It lists the addresses and "store" numbers of the shipping locations.
BIG CHANGE - Please do note that our new DC will now be "store" 704. PLEASE make sure to send this information on to your EDI department as this is different then what was communicated to them in February. If there are EDI questions resulting from this change please have them email krista.johnson@academy.com
The DC address has also changed since the first notification was sent. The attachment is now correct and I've posted the new DC address here for ease of reference.

Some notes on what to expect at this time..
1) The number of purchase orders will begin to double. We are creating orders as if they are shipping to two different DC's although everything will still be shipped to Store 004 / Katy, TX DC.
This will allow both sides to become accustomed to the increased number of orders.
a. PO's should be received by the vendor on the same date
b. PO's should have consecutive PO numbers
c. There will be no way to tie the two PO's together
2) All shipments are to be sent to the Katy, TX DC as always The new Twiggs County DC will not be receiving shipment until after December 1st.
3) Some vendors may already be receiving orders showing to ship to 704.. This is fine as the ship dates should be after December 1st.
You can read more about the changes and updates at http://vendor.academy.com/ until the What's New.... section.
Your attention to these notifications is greatly appreciated!
