• 
  Best Buy requires vendors to send one ASN per shipment. The definition of a shipment varies based on mode of transportation (TL, LTL or small package):
  

• 
  Truckload and Less Than Truckload:
  

• 
  A supplier sending one or more shipping containers or transport packages to a single retailer’s destination. This shipment may be one or more supplier orders and one or more retailer’s purchase orders, or partial purchase orders. The shipment is under one bill of lading and as such the ASN should reflect the same.
  

• 
  Small package or parcel:
  

• 
  To a small package service carrier, each transport package is one shipment. Each package is assigned a unique identification number by the carrier to facilitate the movement through their system. As such the shipment is the individual carton and therefore you must submit an ASN per carton with the tracking # in the BOL and PRO fields.
  
• 
  A Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) bar code is required at the highest level for a Logistical Shipping Unit with the SSCC data transmitted in the ASN at the same level. As a part of the ASN Implementation process you will be expected to submit shipping labels for each facility you ship from to any Best Buy location for validation.

• 
  The specs include segments specific to VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) or SO (special order) vendor partners. Those segments will be pointed out in the header detail of each segment in the specs so please pay close attention. If you do not participate in the VMI or SO programs and the segment is identified as such you are not required to include that segment in your data.
  

1. 
   Manual testing by sending a flat file to exgedi@bestbuy.com indicating “(Your Vendor Name) v4030 856 technical test” in the subject line. An E-Business team representative will contact you and provide details regarding the test. The manual testing will continue until a technically correct file is submitted.
   
2. 
   Electronic transmission of test data to Best Buys test “qual” environment. You must notify Best Buy to be set up for this process prior to transmitting any test data. Please send an e-mail to exgedi@bestbuy.com to request this
   

After successful completion via any of the above technical testing methods a member of Best Buy’s E-Business team will contact you to confirm your production ISA/GS ID’s and qualifier to set you up for Phase 2 – Data Integrity Testing.

In our Data Integrity Process, Best Buy will be validating the data being submitted on the 856 ASN matches the paper Bills of Lading (BOL) and/or packing list(s). We will monitor your flow of ASN’s through our system and will send you an email requesting specific ASN’s that we need the Bills of lading and/or Packing Lists for our data validation process. In addition, we will also need shipping label(s) mailed to us from all of your shipping origin locations for validation. GS1 standard shipping labels must be submitted for each of your shipping origin points for validation. The validation includes a visual inspection to ensure required zones are present and an SSCC barcode validation.

• 
  Multiple carrier modes (i.e. truckload, less-than-truckload & small package)
  
• 
  All vendor origin ship-from locations to various BBY ship-to locations and ship-to types (RDC’s, DDC’s & stores)
  

After your ASN’s are verified and have passed data accuracy testing they will be moved to production status and start to feed Best Buy’s internal systems. Future transmissions will continue to be monitored for data integrity issues. You will continue to receive e-mail notifications should any ASN’s fail or suspend which will outline the reason for the error and indicate corrective action. You will need to make the necessary corrections and submit a replacement ASN when necessary. Random audits and compliance reporting will be performed to ensure consistent data integrity.
