Robert,
I just spoke to Wal-mart as well, and you are
correct in stating that the Duns+4 will not be generated any longer after
10/1/01. However, Wal-mart will still have to generate a new Store # (5
digits) and they will continue to put the New Store # in the Ref segment with
the DNS qualifier on the 816 document. Wal-mart needs to generate a new
store # (5 digits) for the VICS BOL and the 14-digit SCC Label.
Identifying the parent company will still need to
be done by reading the prefix of the GLN #.

Subject: Walmart Phasing out Duns+4 on
4030/816
After contacting
Walmart this morning about the DNS Reference segment missing on several
entries in the 5/27 816 Full List, we were informed that any store opening
after 10/1/2001 will not be assigned a DUNs + 4 number, and you will need to
use the prefix of the GLN to identify the parent company. However, they
already have one instance where a Sam's warehouse has a Walmart GLN... We have
been relying on the Duns number to identify whether it is a Sam's or Walmart
store seeing the stores are bundled in one 816. Any input on how
to maneuver around this latest hurdle and separate out the stores
between Sam's and Walmart accurately would be
appreciated.
