UnitechEDI Software O/S Compatibility – July 2010
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010UnitechEDI is now compliant with Chapters July 2010 changes
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010What you need to know:
The UnitechEDI software is now compliant with the July 2010 changes requested by Chapters/Indigo. We do not currently support pallet level ASN, but that is a request, not a requirement, and Chapters/Indigo has been advised of this.
What you need to do:
The main operational change is that each store might have 2 SAN codes. If your fulfillment system cannot handle that, you will need to contact Chapters/Indigo and advise them. If you can handle that, you will need to contact Chapters/Indigo to schedule testing. Please update UnitechEDI software to get the latest version.
The other requirement involves the SSCC number on the carton label (referred to as HU# by Chapters/Indigo). That number must conform to industry standards. This label is generated either by your fulfillment system or your WMS. We believe that all of the labels being generated by UnitechEDI clients do comply.
