How to Ship, Create UCC Labels and Process ASN Information in VendorNet 10

How to Ship, Create UCC Labels and Process ASN Information in VendorNet Having you, our Vendor, create UCC Labels for your shipment and have the ASN information automatically generated and sent, all in a format that we have pre-approved, is a huge boost to our Vendor Compliance program and our business. It is a great tool for you, the Vendor, to create an ASN and print labels that are compliant, thereby helping you avoid costly charge backs. The one big thing to make all this work properly is correct information. The information you provide needs to be accurate so it is strongly recommended that you have correct case quantity information ready before you start. We recommend not performing this step until 24 to 48 hours prior to shipping.   Log on to VendorNet Click on the word “Ship” on the left hand side of the screen underneath the “Order Services” box. 11

How to Ship, Create UCC Labels and Process ASN Information in VendorNet Next, you will enter quantity and tracking information. Ship Qty: Enter the exact quantity you plan to send. Please remember that this is the QTY on a specific shipment. If you have multiple shipments against a PO, you must do each shipment separately. All containers must have their own ASN. If you have questions please contact your Vendor Compliance person or your VendorNet contact. (The QTY can’t be over shipped by 10% without an adjustment needing to be made by your buyer/merchant/planner.) Tracking No: YOU MUST ENTER SOMETHING IN THIS FIELD OR AN ERROR WILL OCCUR. We would prefer that this have the actual tracking number from the shipper, but we realize you may not have this number prior to creating. Please contact your buyer or planner in regards to the tracking number, once obtained. If necessary, they will advise where to send it. Once you have entered the information necessary, click on Add Cases to move on to the next screen.   14

How to Ship, Create UCC Labels and Process ASN Information in VendorNet   Now that you have entered some basic shipping information, it is time now to input the information that is going to generate your ASN and your UCC labels. This is a very important step; please verify you are using the correct case information. “Cases To Add”: Enter the total number of labels you need to print. Example 1 - You are shipping a total 120 storage boxes and each box gets its own label, so you would enter 120 here. Example 2 - You are shipping 120 units, and they ship 10 to a box, so you only need 12 labels, so you would enter 12 in the cases to add. For mixed sku case act as the skus are shipping in their own case and then bag them then put them in one case with the label on the bag and mix sku written on the case. Once you have input your Cases to Add, click on the Explode/Refresh link to move to the next screen.   15

How to Ship, Create UCC Labels and Process ASN Information in VendorNet After clicking “Explode/Refresh”, you will see an equal number of “SSCC” lines to match the number of cases you want to add. Each one of these “SSCC” lines represents a label. Verify that the Quantity matches what is actually going to be in the case. Each one of these SSCC lines will represent what is in the case. Once you have verified the Quantities are correct, click on “Explode/Refresh” again.   16

To fix this you will need to review the SSCC lines and determine where the error lies. You may need to delete lines or add lines. The “UnAllocated” is the key field here. It will either display as a positive red number (example: “5”, meaning that there are 5 items not accounted for in the SSCC labels) or a red number (example: “(5)”, meaning that there are more items allocated to the SSCC lines then the number of items ordered) If you have to add a case, click the drop down and select “Make New Case”, this will add a new SSCC line. Go to it and add you quantity in. 17
