"ATTENTION DOMESTIC VENDORS
May 28, 2008
To Our Valued Partner:
Dick’s Sporting Goods will be upgrading the TMS Vendor Portal on Monday, June 9th. In preparation of the upgrade, we will be bringing down the portal on Thursday, June 5th at Midnight, EST. All routing MUST be submitted by midnight on June 5th. This includes submitting all routing requests in the Confirmed Routing Request link that you will need to ship.
The system will be down through the weekend and turned back on, Monday, June 9th at 8:00 AM EST. All vendors using the TMS to submit routing must log on to http://www.dsgfreight.com/ to access the training under the “Routing” link. The URL for the TMS website will remain as http://transportation.dcsg.com/ and you will continue to use your assigned username and password.
Highlights of the TMS upgrade include:
• Routing Request Number- The nomenclature of the routing request number will no longer be destination specific (PLNF or SMTN.) The shipment ID nomenclature will not change.
• PO List- Filtering by a specific PO or a date range for a list of purchase orders.
o If you are unable to locate a PO when adding PO lines to the routing request, you should review the status of the PO:
? Open - no quantities have been requested.
? In Progress - not all quantities have been requested.
? Closed - the entire quantity has been requested.
Contact the TMS Help Desk to request the PO to be opened to ship additional quantities.
o Verify the Ready Date falls within the ship window (Do Not Ship Before Date and Cancel if Not Shipped by Date). If the PO is past the cancel date, contact the buyer for an extension.
o Review the Cancel Indicator to verify if the PO has been cancelled.
Contact the buyer with any questions related to cancelled Purchase Orders.
• Hazmat Flag- If you are shipping hazardous materials, you must edit the routing request to indicate Hazmat before submission.
If you have any questions related to the TMS upgrade, please contact the TMS Help Desk at 724-273-4500 or TMS@dcsg.com.
Thank you,
Dick’s Sporting Goods Transportation"

Kmart: Bank Consolidation Update: Sears ACH Co Names and ID's
"To our EDI Trading Partners:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, our move to Wachovia Bank has been delayed. Payments will continue to go through Harris Bank (Sears) and Bank of New York (Kmart) until further notice. We will communicate new transition dates as soon as they are available.
The most recent communication about this change, with updated date information, is as follows:
We will be moving our bank payments for Sears from Harris Bank to Wachovia. Payments for Kmart will be moving from Bank of New York to Wachovia. The dates of change have not yet been defined.
You may notice several changes as a result of this move. Please make sure you have not hard coded any of this information into your current transactions or systems, as they will fail following our move to Wachovia.
The changes you will see are to the bank account numbers and routing numbers, the payer name in the 820, and you will receive your money from Wachovia. You may need to inform your bank of these changes to prevent any delay in the receipt of funds.
The new payer name will reflect Sears Holdings Management Corporation. Again, please make sure that this information is not hard coded in your 820, and that your company does not require any other internal changes to support the new routing and account numbers.
Reminder communication will be sent prior to the change over for Sears and again for Kmart. Frequently asked questions about this change are outlined below. Additional questions not addressed in this communication should be directed to Jennifer Ritorno, EDI Support Manager, jritorn@searshc.com.

Amazon: New Metric - Missed RSD
"Amazon Drop Ship Vendors,
We have released a new metric to your Drop Ship Central Vendor Report recently, called Missed RSD. This metric will replace the Cycle Time metric currently evaluated, and will soon be included in our probation evaluation process. Beginning on June 30, week 27, we will begin evaluating missed RSD instead of Vendor Cycle Time in our probation process.
RSD stands for Required Ship Date. A Missed RSD Unit is defined as a unit that is shipped later than the Required Ship Date. The RSD is calculated based on the following variables:
• Vendor order cut-off time,
• Vendor website availability,
• OF/850/Order Time stamp,
• Next available pickup date and time for specified ship method.
Missed RSD = Number of late shipped units (for a given period)/Total number of units shipped during that time period.
Missed RSD takes into consideration working days, regular closure days, specified holidays, and carrier pick up times. This metric will assume that you will be working during your specified working hours, so it is important to keep your work schedule and holiday closures up to date in the Settings tab for all warehouses. All vendors must keep their Missed RSD rate below 2% to remain in compliance. Low volume vendors, shipping 1000 units or less in a week, are allowed 2 missed RSD units.
You can find more information and examples on our Help pages: https://dropship.amazon.com/DropShipCentral/help/helpTopic.do?topicId=200247400
We will also be adding Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for Ship Method Mismatch and Carrier Account Mismatch, and these metrics will also be considered in our probational process beginning week 27. All vendors must keep their Ship Method Mismatch below 0.2%, and their Carrier Account mismatch below 2.0%. Low volume vendors, shipping 1000 units or less in a week, are allowed 2 misses for each metric.
You can find more information about these metrics on our Help pages:

Bed Bath & Beyond: Shipments from the U.S. to BB&B Canada
"Immediate Attention Required
May 23, 2008
Attention: Vendors Shipping from the U.S. to BB&B Canada.
Re: Zip Code extensions specific to BB&B Canada store shipments.
Dear Business Partner,
We are discovering instances where vendors shipping from the U.S. to our Canada stores are not including the full 9 digit zip code (5 digit + 4 digit extension) on the UCC128 carton labels. A notice was sent to all vendors on 04/28/08 (specific to the opening of store #2002) requesting 4 digit zip code extensions be used when shipping our stores #2001 & 2002. We need to use unique zip codes since both stores ship to the same location.
If you are shipping from the U.S. to Canada, please make sure you are using the full 9 digit zip code on the UCC128 carton label. The address for both stores is included.

- This is also a good time to check your holiday schedule in Drop Ship Central, and to update it with all of your holiday closures for the rest of the year.
