EDI is a paperless electronic transmission system, which provides us the opportunity to:<br />
• Expedite communication between the retailer and vendor, at a more detailed (color/size) level<br />
• Eliminate paper media<br />
• Contain costs by reducing redundant data entry and lowering required weeks of supply<br />
<strong>Saks</strong> Fifth Avenue has developed our EDI program to conform to industry standards, eliminating the need for you to<br />
develop specialized systems. We follow the VICS guidelines and ask that our trading partners do the same. All our<br />
documents are traded at the UPC level.<br />
To qualify for an EDI partnership, you must be 100% UPC marked and provide us access to your UPC<br />
Catalog on GXS.<br />
EDI is a requirement for doing business with <strong>Saks</strong> Fifth Avenue. Our vendors are expected to comply and to contact<br />
us to start testing. Refer to the EDI portion of the Contact List section for numbers to call. An expense offset fee<br />
will be assessed to any vendor who cannot comply with this standard. (See the Expense Offset Section of this<br />
manual.)<br />

authorized carrier for your zip code to enlist their assistance in answering questions as to the preferred method of<br />
electronic transmission. Failure to provide electronically transmitted carton level detail to FEDEX, and an<br />
electronically transmitted Bill of Lading to our Consolidators and LTL Carriers will result in a compliance charge.<br />
