PO acknowledgments must be sent to O.C. Tanner within 24 hours of receipt of P.O. ASNs and Invoices must be sent to O.C. Tanner within 24 hours of shipment from supplier either via EDI or . Shipments may only combine POs that have the same delivery address. Every effort should be made to consolidate POs to one shipment per week per delivery location. Every effort should be made to help products arrive on or before O.C. Tanner s dock date. *Shipping Standards Supplier must not ship unordered Products. Freight should be sorted by purchase order. Items with the same part number must be sorted and kept together. If shipping full container, product must be organized by like SKU. Products (style, number, size, color, etc.) and quantities received, identified on the Packing List and Purchase Order must match. Supplier must provide dimensions and weight of each Product in its individual packaging to O.C. Tanner. Page 4 of 13

5 *Packing List Requirements A packing list per PO must accompany every shipment In the event multiple trailers or containers are necessary to ship products, an itemized packing list must accompany each trailer or container. Packing List must be attached to the lead pallet or carton, and must be legible. Each packing list must contain the following: o Barcoded Purchase Order number(s) associated with the shipment/asn o Supplier Name o Delivery address as stated on the PO o O.C. Tanner material number for each line item o Description o Number of cartons and case pack quantity o Total number of units on backorder Labeling *Pallet Labeling All less than truckload shipments to O.C. Tanner must be labeled and shrink wrapped with the following information (see end of routing guide for pallet labeling example): Purchase Order Number (use cardboard to segregate purchase orders when possible) Carton count per pallet BOL Number When shipping more than one pallet, identify the pallet number and total pallets being shipped (e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3) *Carton Labeling All shipments sent to O.C. Tanner must be labeled with a standard UCC-128 Shipping Container Label (see end of routing guide for template). Only one UCC-128 label per unit. Label must contain the following information: Supplier name and ship from address O.C. Tanner s purchase order number UPC number (if carton is mixed, enter MIXED instead of UPC barcode) Carrier name and bill of lading number SSCC-18 shipping container barcode Product that is shipped with multiple components per selling unit must be identified as such and each piece labeled as 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3, if three cartons comprise one selling unit. Only one ASN per shipping unit (A shipping unit is either a pallet or a carton) Page 5 of 13

6 Packing Requirements *Pallet Requirements All freight must be shrink wrapped and palletized. Exceptions may be granted upon prior written approval. The standard pallet size is 40 x 48 with a maximum height of 54. Please stay within this standard. Cartons must not overhang pallet. Keeping within this height limit will allow items to be transferred to O.C. Tanner storage without additional handling. Although there are shipping efficiencies in stacking pallets to the truck s ceiling, damage can occur by stacking pallets too high. Because of the nature of O.C. Tanner s business, crushed boxes cannot be accepted. Product damaged due to stacking too high will be removed from the pallet and returned to you at your expense. Please try to stack product in such a way as to allow cartons counts without a need to break down pallets. When possible, do not mix product on the same pallet. When product must be mixed for shipping efficiency, keep similar items together on the pallet and make sure boxes are clearly marked. Pallets containing more than one SKU must contain a MIXED sign on the Pallet. All LTL and truckload shipments should be shipped on 4-way pallets. This allows our receiving dock to quickly move and receive the product. It also protects the product from damage. If you have concerns about shipping your product on pallets, please contact us so we may address your concerns. *Carton Requirements Products from multiple Purchase Orders may not be mixed in a single Carton. Products with mixed SKU in a Carton should be avoided when there is sufficient volume of one SKU to make a full Carton. If necessary, cartons containing more than one SKU must contain a MIXED sign on the Carton. Product must NOT contain any price information either on cartons, containers or individual pieces. Drop Shipments Please ship the order as soon as it is available. Small Parcel Instructions Every PO included in the shipment must be listed in the carrier s reference field to identify the package through online tracking and to enable freight payment processing. *LTL and Truckload Instructions A Bill of Lading (BOL) must accompany every shipment and should include: o Delivery address as stated on the PO o Each PO number shipped at the line item level o The proper NMFC freight class at the line item level o The correct number of total pallets shipped o The correct number of cartons shipped Page 6 of 13

7 o The correct gross weight of the shipment including weight of pallets o The correct net weight of the shipment excluding 50 lbs per pallet* o Bill of Lading must be complete *O.C. Tanner s LTL contracts include a pallet exception up to 50 lbs per pallet. The pallet exception only applies on bills of lading which include the gross weight and calculated net weight that subtracts 50 lbs for each pallet tendered. It is critical the suppliers include both a gross and net weight when completing a bill of lading. Assistance in creating a BOL can be provided in any of the following ways: o The BOL feature of the carrier s website o A custom PDF form provided by O.C. Tanner s logistics department (contact logistics@octanner.com for more information) o BOL created by O.C. Tanner s partner Box Logic (see LTL section for more info) Full truckloads to multiple O.C. Tanner locations should be loaded by delivery location. This allows all products to be unloaded at the desired destination without having to unload the entire trailer. Appointment Scheduling Freight is received at four locations - ADC, SDC, Main building, Return Center. o ADC & SDC require delivery appointments through Transwide o Main building and Return center can be delivered without an appointment during regular business hours. O.C. Tanner s core carriers have been set up within the Transwide scheduling system so they can go online to schedule their delivery appointments. All carriers must make an appointment for delivery. If no appointment was made, delivery will not be received. Please ensure that your carrier is made aware of this requirement. Delivery Locations and Contacts O.C.
