9 HOW TO SETUP A B2BGATEWAY EDI AMAZON ACCOUNT After signing up as a B2BGateway client, B2BGateway will use your Amazon Vendor Central (AVC) username and password to access the testing portal When in production, B2BGateway uses an AS2 connection to pull orders from your customers and push them into your Accounting Software/ERP All of the document transmissions happen behind the scenes and setting up the integration requires testing and communication through AVC s portal Amazon requires all new vendors to test their EDI documents from inside the Vendor Central Portal B2BGateway will take care of this on your behalf and therefore needs the username and password associated with your Amazon Vendor Central account

10 HOW TO SETUP A B2BGATEWAY EDI AMAZON ACCOUNT WHAT IS NEEDED BY B2BGATEWAY? B2BGateway needs all the item information that you may want to use on the test scenarios As all testing and production communication is confined to the Vendor Central portal, B2BGateway does not have any direct contact with Amazon via or phone HOW DOES IT WORK? Once B2BGateway has the username, password and required item information, we will build the required data maps in order to do the data translations so that the original Purchase Order from Amazon will go automatically into your Accounting Software/ERP as a Sales Order B2BGateway can also set up optional documents like the Product Activity Data (852) and Inventory Advice (846) and so on

11 HOW TO SETUP A B2BGATEWAY EDI AMAZON ACCOUNT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Once the test invoice is approved, you will be asked to submit EDI invoices via B2BGateway as well as the hard copies to Amazon until Amazon asks you to discontinue the hardcopies ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE PURCHASE ORDER INVOICE ADVANCE SHIP NOTICE SALES ORDER INVOICE P O ACKNOWLEDGEMENT P O ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

12 AMAZON S ROUTING REQUIREMENTS (EDI 753 & 754) For Amazon suppliers it is mandatory to create a routing request in Amazon Vendor Central after they confirm the Purchase Order They have to provide the pick up date, time, number of cartons, weight and volume of the consignment This is called the routing request in Amazon Vendor Central Amazon provides routing process through EDI for its EDI enabled vendors EDI enabled vendors can send a routing request through EDI 753 and get a confirmation through EDI 754 As all these processes are done through electronic automated transmission, suppliers need not manually enter the Amazon reference number (ARN) into their system

13 AMAZON S ROUTING REQUIREMENTS (EDI 753 & 754) AMAZON EDI 753 ROUTING REQUEST The main components of an EDI 753 routing request are Supplier Reference Number This is a unique reference number for the supplier When Amazon sends back a routing confirmation through EDI 754, it will include this unique reference number so that suppliers can match in their system Customer Purchase Order Number This is the Purchase Order number from Amazon and it should be included in the routing request Number of Pallets/Cartons and total weight of the consignment Total volume in cubic feet Address identifier Pick up Date & Time: When the consignment will be ready
