Subject: FREIGHT BILL AUDIT AND PAYMENT TRANSITION TO TRENDSET
All,
As many of you are aware, EA will be transitioning our freight bill audit and payment process to Trendset, a 3rd party freight bill payment company. We will be transitioning the business in phases and Elizabeth Arden would like for Jaguar invoices for imports, domestic inland and non Zug export (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Puerto Rico) to transition on 8/1/11 via EDI. Elizabeth Arden requests that Jaguar work directly with Trendset to start EDI testing immediately and the direct contact information is listed below. Trendset has also sent EDI specifications to Jaguar.
Since Jaguar is one of EA's biggest carriers and therefore will have a largest impact on this transition, I wanted to advise of a few key elements that need to be taken into consideration to ensure the transition is seamless.
1. Paper Invoices: Will continue to be sent to EA until Jaguar can complete EDI testing with Trendset and receive final approval to start from EA.
2. Inland Domestic Invoices: Will need to receive one per shipment vs current consolidated invoices (or have the two IT teams work out). EA will need to have a record of each shipment and cost per each shipment to be visible in TS, no exceptions. This is required for EA financial reporting.
3. Main reference fields: Will need Jaguar to transmit the "load number" as the bill of lading number for domestic inbound shipments, and the "ct ref. number" as the bill of lading number for both imports and exports.
4. Invoice Timing: Need invoices sent asap to avoid gaps in accrual process. Please advise how this works for each type of shipment (imports, exports and domestic inland). When will the EDI transmission be sent, at shipment time, receipt time or when?
Please advise of any questions or concerns regarding the 8/1 go live EDI date.

Current Process that JFS handles EA billing
Mantis: 3172
1) Trucking Company send an operator a list of shipments (CTs) that delivered on the day before (daily)
2) Jaguar will group CTs together in the master> Misc tab> Trucking Biling Manifest(each day for the billing between Jewels and JG)
3) Jaguar checks the shipments that delivered the day before (group) (from the list that the Trucker gave to them) and enter all necessary information such as rate, min, max info, fuel...etc
4) Jaguar generates a Trucking Billing Manifest and save the spreadsheet on their local machine, then Jaguar adjusts information (fuel, weight...etc) then sends it to the Trucker to review (This process is between Jaguar and the trucker for the billing purpose). Please note that this process is nothing to do with Arden.
5) Once trucker review the numbers until it is correct, then trucker send it back to Jaguar for the cost that they will bill Jaguar. At this point Jaguar will use this information as the based information and mark up the cost on top of what Jaguar get billed to Arden to make some profit. Jaguar manually calculates and marks up number for Elizabeth Arden. This spreadsheet is worth for one day of delivery. Jaguar holds on the spreadsheet with the mark up price each day and wait to combine with 5 days of spreadsheets to send to Arden one time.
6) Jaguar has to repeat the process 1) -5) for each day for the shipment that delivered each day. They save these spreadsheet on their local machine (Monday to Friday worth of data)
7) Next Monday, Jaguar has to invoice Elizabeth Arden, Jaguar creates a sale invoice from Invoice tab. This invoice is worth for 5 days shipments from the week before. The total cost will cover all 5 days shipments.
8) Jaguar submit the invoice (1 invoice covered for 5 days of shipments) and the Trucking Billing Manifest (5 days) together to Arden. (Invoice is the cost that Arden has to pay, and Trucking Billing Manifest is the detail of shipments that shipped for this invoice; back up detail information for the invoice)
New Process that has to be changed
As we will transmit the invoice and the trucking billing manifest via EDI daily. We will need to map these info together. Trucking Billing Manifest, JFS has to only generate one spreadsheet for daily shipments (1 excel spreadsheet = 1 day of shipments);
This spreadsheet consists of all the shipments and all the loads that picked up and delivered the day before(daily)
JFS has to be able to manual edit data(mark up detail cost) on the spreadsheet before uploading to the system then transmit the information via EDI with the Sale Invoice.
System will automatically create an invoice per load. If this spreadsheet consist of 10 loads, that means 10 invoices will be automatically generated by the system
Each load consists of one or more shipments (CTs)
The part before uploading the spreadsheet to the system, it still involve manual process for JFS to prepare final data on the spreadsheet on local machine before uploading.
Once the spreadsheet is ready, Jaguar can upload the spreadsheet to the system and system can map the data from the uploaded spreadsheet.
At this point there should be the option for Jaguar to upload the spreadsheet for invoice generating process.
Requirements
- see example about mapping from Trendset at note 0010498 from 2996
- See attached file TRENDSET-EDI210.doc on the mantis 2996 for the schema
- Additional info that need to map and submit to Trendset:

- BOL# form 210 map to Jaguar load number
- Step of invoice process
- Provide an ability for user to upload the spreadsheet
- Provide an ability for user to review the uploaded information in HTML format before user clicks "generate Sale Invoice"

- Data send via EDI should include Invoice#, BOL#, and Pro#. System should generate these data from the condition above.
- Invoice table should add 3 more columns: Ability to see spreadsheet(click to preview information), Transmit status (Yes/No), Trendset Status (Yes/No)
- E-mail notification to users when it failed for transmit to Trendset (EDI rejection Notices)
