Do it Best Corp. EDI 855 Transaction Requirements
All vendors utilizing EDI functionality are required to provide complete and accurate EDI 855 transactions back to Do it Best Corp. EDI 855’s (purchase order acknowledgements) provide origin pick up location information and approved shipment data to subsequently be routed to destination.
The 855 acknowledges the receipt of the P.O., conveys an item quantity commitment, and identifies the origin location information for pick up. The 855 is the primary transaction used for the routing, rating, and the timely delivery of product within TMS. 855’s are required for both COLLECT and PREPAID vendors servicing Do it Best Corp. RSC locations.
EDI 855 Required Information
EDI 855 required information is as follows:
- Vendor Name
- Origin Location Street Address (location product is being picked up. P.O. Boxes may not be used)
- City / State / Zip Code of the respective Origin Locations (use 5 digit zips)
- Destination Location Name
- Destination Location Address (location product is being delivered to. P.O. Boxes may not be used)
- City / State / Zip Code of the respective Destination Location (use 5 digit zips)
- Product Ready Date (ready dates may not be = or prior to that date of the 855 creation.)
- P.O. Number (insure the P.O. provided matches the destination code)
- SKU’s and quantities you are “committing” to ship.
ASN 855 or TMS Portal transactions are required to be completed in a timely basis to plan for and execute “on time” pick-up and delivery of product to destination. TMS will optimize the information to plan and route via the appropriate mode and carrier respective to the shipment.
COLLECT and PREPAID Vendors Requirements
COLLECT vendors are not to route product on their own. COLLECT vendor planning / routing is dependent on the “Ship Date” listed on the respective purchase order. Do it Best requires that COLLECT vendors provide the 855 EDI transaction or TMS Portal transmission respective to the purchase order shipment a minimum of 48 hours prior to the respective ship date. The on time delivery window is minus 7 (7 days early) plus 1 day (1 day late) of the “Arrival Date” listed on the respective purchase order.
PREPAID vendors are responsible for the planning / routing of their own freight and therefore routing is dependent on the “Arrival Date” listed on the respective purchase order. The on time delivery window is minus 7 (7 days early) plus 1 day (1 day late) of the “Arrival Date” listed on the respective purchased order.
