Dillon Stores will be converting to the Kroger OLP purchasing system in 2004/2005. This is a multi-phased project. Conversions will be done by commodity*. Please check the list of commodities carefully. If you are currently sending EDI 889 Promotions for the items listed, then this notice applies to you. You must make the N1*BY Duns changes. You may receive multiple notification letters throughout 2004/2005.

NO CHANGES in EDI Communication!!!

Our communication ID’s will remain ISA Qualifier 08 - ISA ID 9254110060 - GS ID 5137624388

There will be other changes in the On Line Purchasing System (OLP), changes to the vendor, item numbers etc. These changes will not directly affect the 889. The CASE and RETAIL UPC’s will not be changed. Continue to send approved UPC’s

The major change will be to the N1*BY 889 DUNS. The new N1*BY DUNS to be used for the above converting commodities are as follows:

THE DUNS CHANGES ARE APPLICABLE TO ONLY THE CONVERTED ITEMS !!!!!!!!

There will be a period of time until the conversions are completed where you will need to send both the new and old Duns based on whether or not the items have converted. If the correct Duns are not sent, your 889 will not be processed. To prevent any delays or billing issues please ensure all changes are in place so you are sending valid 889 Duns. Failure to prepare your systems and notify all those who will be affected by these conversions could impact or jeopardize promotions.
