06/25/2010 - Attention Macy's Vendors...

In a continuing effort to improve service and reduce costs, Macy's Transportation Office (MTO) will be introducing the Macy's 1:1 program to utilize regional truckload pickups of multiple less-thantrailerload shipments destined for one or more Macy's DC's from a single ship point. These regional pickups will then be combined through a cross-dock facility with similar LTL shipments from other vendors in the pickup area to create highly-cubed trailerload line hauls direct to specific destination DC's. The use of this program will further simplify routing and improve transit for Trading Partners, while controlling freight cost.

06/18/2010 - Attention JCPenney Vendors...

JCPenney is opening a new store this fall in Lousiville, KY. In order to make the opening go as smoothly as possible, they will be sending orders for the new store to an existing store (3099) so they can pre-mark the goods and make them floor ready. Closer to the store opening they will change the address to the actual store address and start sending goods to the new store.
JCPenney wanted you to be aware of this process because your system will need to be able to handle the address change. If you are currently receiving the EDI 864 transaction (JCP store addresses) and it is updated at least weekly, you should have no problems. If you don’t currently receive the transaction, you are strongly encouraged to subscribe to it. This will ensure accurate deliveries and prompt payment for new store invoices.

06/10/2010 - Attention HD Supply Vendors...

Message from HD Supply: as of Jan 2010 HD Supply migrated to a new system called SAP. Since that move there have been some problems with invoices failing. Most of the failures are “ED20 INVALID PART FOR SKU OR MIC “errors. The reason for these is because SAP now validates part numbers. Vendors must send back on the invoice the exact same part numbers that were received on the PO . HD Supply's AP Department does not have access to these failures so it is extremely important that vendors monitor the 864 error messages, make necessary corrections and resend failed invoices in a timely manner. There are timelines that are attached to the contracts and these timelines cannot be met if invoice rejections are not actively monitored. If you are unsure how to monitor the 864 error messages please discuss with your EDI coordinator.

SuperValu / Albertson's is preparing for the upcoming standardization of all corporate SUPERVALU EDI processes onto the single strategic SUPERVALU EDI platform, expected to be completed during June 2010. The SUPERVALU EDI group is poised to complete an initiative started shortly after the SUPERVALU / Albertsons acquisition was announced four years ago -- to standardize the five EDI processes into a single EDI solution. The last EDI process to be standardized onto the new platform is the legacy Albertsons EDI system in Boise, Idaho. The migration development has been completed and is in the final phase of thorough testing. There has been testing with select vendors to ensure this migration is seamless to all vendors. No difference should be noticed in where data is sent to/received from, the EDI ID’s, or the data content. Routing changes will be internal to SUPERVALU/Albertsons. The file delivery relationships, including VAN traffic, are unaffected by this migration.

Let's Back-Up for a Moment

When you think about backing up files on your desktop, server or mainframe computer, do the thoughts or excuses “I have everything I need on paper”, “I am just too busy to backup my files” or “my system will never crash” ever come to mind?

Backing up your critical as well as non-critical files can be the most time saving and rewarding process you can ever accomplish with your computer. When you think about items that may almost impossible to re-create without a backup copy available, does your email contact address book come to mind? What would you do if all of your business contacts that you worked for years to build suddenly disappeared without a trace during the next thunderstorm? How about those vital cost reports due in three days to your number one customer? How about your Sales Order and Invoice files required for your next IRS audit? Frightening to say the least!

If you had a backup of your most important folders and files, peace of mind (and wallet!) could be had by simply restoring contents of your backup tapes, CD’s or external drives to your pc or server.

The extent to which your system needs backing up is always the hardest question to answer since different levels of users have different needs and requirements. Once you identify the files necessary for restoring your system to the same point as prior to your data loss, you will be able to select the most effective method of saving those files and put your backup plan to work.

There are a multitude of ways to save data whether it be to a complete failover system, an external hard drive, an on-line storage site, a backup tape system, or as simple as a box of CD-R’s available from your local retailer, just be sure to select a process and stick to it!

WebSource Corner: Target-branded Packing Slip Requirement for DVS Vendors


Did you know that Target.com is requiring that DVS (Direct Vendor Ship) Vendors provide packing slips for all shipments? A Direct Vendor Ship vendor for Target ships the product direct to the consumer from their own warehouse.

If you are a current or future Target.com DVS vendor you are now required to print Target.com branded packing slips for all of your shipments. 1 EDI Source has completed the required testing and has become compliant with Target.com in order to provide this feature for our clients. As a preferred provider, 1 EDI Source, Inc. will be able to offer this for any existing or new setups.

Each packing slip setup will be built into your 856 ASN setup, and you will have access to print the packing slip at your convenience from your WebSource setup when you pack your cartons. If you have a third party warehouse or shipping department packing your cartons, you have the ability to create additional logins and grant them access to only print out and view the packing slips and/or ASNs.

The format will be consistent for each vendor and therefore will not require additional testing. It will be available to you as soon as you need to be compliant under Target’s DVS program.

Building Shipments in ASN Complete

Letting your trading partner know what's coming to them via the 856 Advance Ship Notice, is the end of the ASN Complete process. But reaching that point requires us to start by first importing order information and then building shipments. The imported order information usually (but not always) was mapped to an importable file by EDI Complete. The mapped data was probably originally received as an 850 Purchase Order. The Purchase Order provides the basis for information on what was ordered. Now that you know what was ordered, you can start shipping – and building the ASN.

ASN Complete offers the following shipment types: BOL, Master BOL, VICS BOL and VICS Master BOL. What are the differences? The Master type of BOL (Bill of Lading) is used when a top level BOL will consolidate sub BOLS on it. Otherwise, a non master type should be used. The VICS (Voluntary Interindustry Commerce Solutions Association) version of a BOL will auto-create VICS compliant BOL forms for the shipment. You can create these same forms manually for non VICS shipment types. (See http://www.vics.org/ for more information about VICS.) ASN Complete can either auto-generate VICS compliant BOL numbers or you can enter your own number manually.

By design, ASN Complete has built-in versatility. Final ship-to locations can be determined at time of ASN creation. ASN Complete auto-enters the ship to and bill to addresses for the selected l ocation code. Orders can be added and removed from shipments as needed. Carrier information, shipment and delivery dates, ship-from locations, and additional shipment numbers can be adjusted as needed. Shipment preparation will include label printing for the shipment.

As the shipment itself prepares to take off, so will your ASN. Your trading partner will be prepared, knowing in advance what to expect.

EDI/HQ™ System Alerts


Have you ever logged into your EDI system to find an error staring back at you that meant serious downtime has just occurred in your EDI transmissions? Have you ever found out that duplicate transactions were sent from a trading partner after they were already processing in your back-end system? These are just a few of the things that you can be alerted to quickly - and with very little setup - in EDI/HQ™. EDI/HQ™ was designed to run behind the scenes and to manage your EDI data by exception. System Alerts in EDI/HQ™ allow you to have alerts sent to the appropriate people in your company in real time, enabling you to take care of issues and errors in the quickest manner possible. These system alerts can be received via e-mail, cell phone text message, or delivered to EDI/HQ™’s dashboard for viewing. There are a wide variety of alerts that can be customized to your liking, including duplicate document checking, job or process failure, ODBC errors, e-mail connection issues and many more.

An additional advantage of using these system alerts is that less manual intervention is needed. Having someone spend time doing numerous checks to the system is not needed when these alerts are active. Much like the fully customizable dashboard feature in EDI/HQ™, these system alerts allow you to enable exactly those for which you want to be notified, and the manner in which the notification will be sent and received. This allows you the confidence of knowing your EDI system is running as intended, even when you are not in the office. EDI/HQ™ System Alerts is just another function that makes EDI/HQ™ the most flexible, user friendly and practical EDI solution on the market today.

Extracting Data via ODBC during Mapping


Have you ever needed a piece of data for an Outbound Invoice that is not included in your backend system, but you know it was on the original Inbound Purchase Order? Or you would like to verify that the Inbound Purchase Order contains valid Item Numbers.

EDI Complete and EDI/HQ both have the ability to use an SQL statement to extract data from a previously stored transaction or from other tables within the database. It is as easy as building the necessary SQL Select statement, using the Select statement operator within the map designer and setting up the ODBC connection to the database table.

When your trading partner requires information that your back-end system does not store, one solution that may easily satisfy both you and your trading partner is in-map retrieval.

If this is something you would like to do, please contact your EDI Consultant at 1 EDI Source, Inc. and he or she will walk you through the specific steps to accomplish this task.

Reasons for You to Move to EDI/HQ™

We at 1 EDI Source, Inc. have been working hard to bring you the very best EDI software available, and are greatly excited to announce an opportunity for you to experience EDI/HQ™, 1 EDI Source’s next generation of EDI software. We’ve taken the knowledge gained from more than 20 years in the EDI industry, combined it with the features and functionality that are the backbone of the EDI Complete series of applications, and re-envisioned them in EDI/HQ™.

The top 5 reasons to move to EDI/HQ™:

1. Dashboard - EDI/HQ™ launches with a summary dashboard that provides you a quick glance at key data, errors or other critical events, and then allows you to dig in for more detail. You choose the optional widgets that you want to appear on your dashboard, and customize them to show the information that matters most to you.

2. Duplicate ISA & Transkey checking - EDI/HQ™’s new business rule validation allows you to halt duplicate transactions before they are processed and imported into your backend system (duplicate ISA checking). EDI/HQ™ can also stop duplicate application data from being mapped and sent to your trading partners (duplicate “transkey” checking). Our duplicate transaction ID monitoring can help save you from potential chargebacks, confusion, and delayed payments.

3. New alert system - EDI/HQ™’s new alerting system can notify you via e-mail or SMS text messages when critical events happen in your EDI processing. Information that you can choose to receive in your alerts includes the following examples: EDI from a new trading partner (or t-set) has been received, or an incorrectly formed interchange envelope was received.

4. Redesigned View EDI Data window - We have redesigned the View EDI Data window to include advanced EDI filtering to help you get to the data that is most crucial to you. Filtering that you can then reuse on your dashboard or reports. We have also added the ability to view side-by-side comparisons of important aspects of an EDI transaction such as your application data and your EDI data or your EDI data and EDI syntax errors.

5. New combined process for reporting - We’ve reworked the automation portion of EDI/HQ™ (jobs and processes) to provide an easier to use rules-based engine for defining processes. And we’ve added new/better processes, including a more powerful Report process that allows you to create a report, e-mail it and archive it – all in 1 easy step.

Show me how! We would like to offer you a chance to see EDI/HQ™ in action with a demonstration of the software. If you would be interested in joining our demo and are a current client, please contact your EDI Consultant. He or she will also be able to answer any technical questions you may have. If you are not a client please contact Noreen at 877-334-1334 x142 or noreens@1edisource.com and she will provide the date, time and login information. We hope you join us to experience our great new EDI software.
