Brian, You have a lot of company. I to am surprised that Wal-Mart didn't include their "Facility Number" in a 850 REF segment for return on out bound documents. Our solution was to include the "Facility Number" in the address setups of our database. It will be then be available for reference for any outbound documents (BOL and shipping labels).

We are in the process of defining our process of being able to handle Wal-Mart's new PO requirements (and spending big dough to boot). So, I want to make sure that we do it right (preferably the first time). Here's the scoop. Wal-Mart's new PO # in the BEG03 will still be 10 digits, but will now be a sequential number. What they need is for us to attach 14 other digits to the PO number and make it appear on their VICS BOL. The PO structure to appear on the BOL is as follows: Facility Number (5 chars), PO Type (4 chars), Dept Number (5 chars), PO Number (10 chars) The PO Type, and Dept Number can be obtained from the REF segments. While the PO Number is from the BEG03. However, the Facility Number is not on the 850 document for version 4030. I'm Okay with version 4010 where they send a Duns+4 in the N1 segment, and I can use the +4 and add a zero to the front of it to create the correct Facility Number. But, in 4030, Wal-Mart will be sending a GLN number where the digits do not match up to their Facility Numbers. How are you handling this issue? I wish that Wal-Mart would have considered adding another REF segment that contained their Facility Number. I think that would have made that a lot easier for all of us. I truly hope that my confusion and frustration is a part of something that I may have missed in any communications with Wal-Mart. I do have to say that Wal-Mart tries hard to give us everything that we need to service them, but between letters and speaking with Help Desk, I have been getting a lot of conflicting information and advice. I appreciate their efforts, but they are making my life a little difficult these days. Please advise.
