Quick Response Process Flow

1. 1. Ordered quantities are generated directly from a Wegmans Store through either CAO (Computer Assisted Ordering) or by the Wegmans’ Replenishment Team/Merchandising Teams.
   2. Wegmans’ Replenishment Systems generates an EDI 850 Purchase Order.
   3. Wegmans prior to its arrival, confirming exact items/quantities being shipped on that order.
   4. Upon arrival, trailer is docked at a Wegmans DC, Items/pallets will be selected and the product will be directed to the destination stores.
   5. The supplier invoices Wegmans using standard EDI 810 /880 Invoice format must match the EDI 856 ASN.

Shipping Requirements

• Pallets configured as “Store Ready” for Cross Docking should be organized and tagged appropriately to ensure timely and safe handling of product within a Wegmans DC.
  1. Pallets destined for different Stores should each have their own Pallet Label (seen here).
  2. If ordered quantities do not assemble into a full 72 cube pallet, it is acceptable for pallets to be “decked”, provided adequate labeling and product conditioning can still be met.
  3. Pallets should be labeled as “mixed product” to ensure proper segregation at a Wegmans DC.
• Palletized item specific pallets should follow steps 2&3 above and labeling would reflect the item in place of the store #.
