Amazon backorders for NYP books

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Source: Change in Amazon EDI specification for 850 PO

What does it mean to me?

Formerly the Amazon specification stated that the code Y in the 850 PO CSH segment would instruct to backorder only out of stock, thereby cancelling not yet published books. As of June 22, that specification was changed so a code of Y would also backorder not yet published books.

This means that Not Yet Published books might have been cancelled without you realizing it.

What can I do?

UnitechEDI clients should [Update software] from the UnitechEDI dashboard. Not yet published books on orders processed after the update will be backordered instead of cancelled.

This is our best thinking on this matter. For confirmation you should contact your Amazon representative. For more information contact (800) 330-4094 or support@unitechedi.com

EDI Chargebacks

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Source: email from Ingram Accounts Payable about EDI Chargebacks

What does it mean to me?

Ingram would like you to receive an EDI file which will contain shortages and price/discount chargebacks by EDI rather than hardcopy. This is similar to the Returns Chargebacks EDI document that you might already be receiving from Ingram.

What can you do?

Unitech is working on the programming to allow you view this EDI file (X12 812) as an Excel worksheet. No additional software will be needed from your fulfillment system vendor. We already have this ready for Barnes & Noble, and expect to have the Ingram version ready by July 1, 2008. Please let us know if you would like us to send you a price quote for your approval.

This is our best thinking on this matter. For confirmation you should contact your Ingram representative. For more information you can contact UnitechEDI at (800) 330-4094 or info@unitechedi.com
