All EDI documents transmitted to Macy’s must reflect the selling unit U.P.C./EAN/UK level. Any orders
containing PRE-PACK U.P.C.s , EANs and UKs must be converted to the component U.P.C/EAN /UK before transmitting the EDI Invoice and Advanced Ship Notice and reflect the shipped quantities per component U.P.C of the PRE-PACK. Macy’s cannot receive the quantities at the PRE-PACK U.P.C. level.
in 2011 Macy’s announced a new initiative, ” InDC “. This process introduces a new concept, the “InDC
Date” as the critical timing factor, in place of the old “ship date” terminology in Macy’s Purchase Orders (POs). The InDC date is that date when all merchandise must be in distribution centers, as distinguished from the ship date, which is the first date to start shipping the goods. To ensure a smooth transition for vendors, there are a number of EDI mapping changes for the outbound PO (850), effective from October 31, 2010.
