4) Vendor Setup, Testing, and Certification Process

供应商安装、测试和认证过程

a) Setup:

If the vendor is already EDI capable, they can request the EDI relationship, or Komar will contact the vendor

through our Sourcing/Compliance to introduce the EDI requirement and then hand off to our EDI team.

Once a vendor is identified to be placed on the EDI system, that vendor will be contacted by Kendall Gilchrest

to begin the EDI setup. The vendor will be given several options for setting up a system. These options include

EDI providers and communication methods. The vendor will be given the Komar EDI specification documents

and this EDI Setup and Testing Procedures document if they are capable of performing the setup themselves or

the vendor partner can refer to the list of EDI implementers listed in this document.

Once the vendor partner relationship is established and orders begin to flow to the vendor partner, the vendor

partner is expected to immediately become compliant. New vendor partners have up to six months to become

compliant. After that time frame, any PO that arrives at the DC without an EDI ASN will be subjected to a

chargeback. The following testing procedures will be followed in order for the vendor to get certified.

b) Parallel Testing/Certification:

Once you begin testing, we will transmit production EDI PO’s. When you have acknowledged receipt via a

Functional Acknowledgement (997) and returned the appropriate ASN's, we will then continue with each

scenario of revised, duplicated and cancelled PO’s and ASN’s.

You need to follow these steps for each scenario during parallel testing as follows:

     1. Download your production EDI PO’s.

     2. Return an EDI functional acknowledgement to Komar for each transmission.

     3. Verify that the PO’s receive match the e-mailed PO’s from our system that you received from the

        WMIS dept.

     4. Create an actual ASN for the entire PO/shipment that you received after you've actually shipped the

        product and transmit it to Komar.

     5. Once we receive the shipment, the UCC-128 carton labels will be scanned and compared up against

the ASN. The cartons will later be opened up and the contents verified up against the ASN also.

c) Production:

Komar will notify the vendor confirming that the vendor has been moved into a production

status. Once we have certified you and moved you into production, a new factory is turned on

using EDI system then all 850’s will be sent all at once. For new orders afterwards, then 1 st 850

will be sent 60 days prior to ship date. WMIS will continue to email pdf of PO’s to agents who

will then forward to factories.

You need to follow these steps once you are certified and in production as follows:

1. Download your EDI PO’s. Download daily so that you have the most recent revision of the PO.

2. Return an EDI acknowledgement (Functional Acknowledgement -997) to Komar for each

transmission within 24 hours of the shipment being completed.

3. Produce the product according to the electronic EDI PO.

4. Create an ASN for the entire PO/shipment (after you shipped the product) and transmit it to Komar.
