Change of procedure
for AAFES VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) PO's and
Program
This
message is being sent to notify you of a major
change to our VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system
that is taking place effective Monday June 22,
2009 for all inbound AAFES EDI 855 VMI PO’s.
The systemic change listed below is to adhere to our
standing VMI Policy, established Jan 2004. The
change to our system will impact the VMI PO
numbers we issue to you in our EDI 852
Product Activity transaction set that are over 30
“Calendar” days old, based on the transmission
dates you originally received them in the EDI
852 document.
Going forward, Warehouse VMI PO numbers will only
have an effective 30-day usage from
the day they are transmitted to you from AAFES.
Once they are past the 30-days from the date they
were sent out, the program will no longer accept
them back in and they will be rejected if
transmitted to AAFES.
Effective immediately, please discontinue using all
VMI PO numbers issued to your company prior to
June 1st 2009, or any PO numbers with a
numbering series less than 001240XXXX.
In addition, our VMI program will now be validating
the PO number assigned to each supplier/partner by
the PO number, AAFES internal vendor code attached
to the PO number, and the specific location that the
PO number was created for. When sending the EDI 855
VMI PO number back to AAFES, the above criteria
must match with the PO numbers you were
sent, or the system will reject the PO.
If you have any questions regarding this change,
please feel free to contact me.
Thank you in advance for your continuing support of
the AAFES mission and serving the best customers in
the world.
