Key Points
- Orders are transmitted via EDI (come in on Mondays and have to ship by the Friday of the same week).
- Customer does not accept backorders. Cancellations/backorders must be communicated by Wednesday. (Send to Richard Forier & Laura Gist) Provide them with closed line information.
- Customer does accept partial lines as long as they are in the proper customer quantity multiple. (Full cartons)
- If there are any backordered items that can be transferred from one of the UA locations to the JAX or 12th Street location, please ask product manager for transfer.
- JoAnn’s is top priority and gets first pick of glitter inventory.
New Orders Received
- Once a new range is received via EDI, check to see whether all lines can be filled or if there are any price variances.
- PVs will be directed by Marketing in Netsuite.
- Do NOT release orders until pricing has been confirmed and inventory has been allocated.
- If there is any difference in pricing, email Laura G and have her confirm that the PO is ok to ship at the higher or at the lower price.
- There have been instances where this is an indication of incorrect EDI conversion that was set up. If the item has price variances & it is out of customer multiple, the may be ordering according to cases, etc. instead of just in the correct multiple. If you think this is the case, reach out to Laura G and tell her what you think is going on and ask if it’s okay to proceed with the order at the quantity that you have worked out to be correct according to pricing.
- Once all quantity changes have been made and the order fills, release.
