26 Account Service Fees Anheuser-Busch is not accountable for excess carrier charges
Small Package Transmissions Small package carriers must receive package level detail prior to Friday 12:00 midnight for all shipments that week Receive confirmation message that transmission to carrier was successful If transmission is unsuccessful, required fields will be missing and invoice will not be processed Resubmit transmission until successful 27
28 Incorrect Order Anheuser-Busch business unit phones supplier and cancels the incorrect order Cancelled ship order returned to A-B New ship order created Never replace items originally ordered with substitute items Do not ship w/o authorization
29 Replacement (Lost) Order Do Not reference Anheuser-Busch Business Unit Order No. Freight charges should be billed prepaid Supplier will file claim with carrier for freight plus cost of goods

36 Question 1 Q You can mix orders that have Business Unit Codes with Non- Business Unit Codes. A No. You must provide the freight invoice on prepay and add shipments and ship separately.
37 Question 2 Q Can more than one Anheuser- Busch product item number be shipped on the same shipment order? A No. The shipment may contain several quantities of the same item number. Verify with your Anheuser- Busch Business Unit for approval.
38 Question 3 Q It is acceptable for you to ship an item through the 3 rd Party Freight Payment program if someone has advised the shipment must be shipped ASAP and does not give you an Anheuser-Busch Business Unit Code followed by 10 digits. A No. You must obtain the Anheuser-Busch Business Unit Code and the order number prior to shipping.
39 Question 4 Q When entering cartons on a Bill of Lading, what number should you use if the carton count on one pallet contains 50 cartons? A 50 Cartons
40 Question 5 Q It is acceptable for a supplier to use their own Bills of Lading. A Yes, but you must include all required fields.
41 Question 6 Q Should I continue to write Anheuser-Busch c/o in front of the shipper name on the Bill of Lading? A No. Anheuser-Busch c/o must be used on prepay and add shipments. The Bill of Lading should reflect only your name as the shipper in the 3 rd Party Freight Payment program.
42 Question 7 Q Small Package transmissions must be received by the respective carrier for shipments sent during the week prior to: A Friday, 12:00 Midnight
43 Question 8 Q The correct procedure for shipping replacement (lost) orders is: A 1. Do Not reference the original ship order number 2. Freight should not be billed to Anheuser- Busch c/o AIMS.

44 Question 9 Q Who tracks lost shipments? A Suppliers are responsible to track lost shipments. Anheuser-Busch Business Units may assist if needed.
45 Question 10 Q If a shipment is lost who files the freight claim? A Supplier will continue to file the freight claims because Anheuser- Busch, Inc. purchases FOB destination.
