This describes the detail behind the Officeworks Supplier Agreement for Supplier’s
successfully delivering merchandise to Officeworks sites, CFCs, Cross Dock DCs and
Import DCs. Please note that these delivery standards and processes supersede all
other existing communications and incorporates all of the previous standards. If
Suppliers and their contracted carriers fail to comply with the standards detailed in this
manual or if the stock does not meet quality standards at the point of delivery
consignments may be rejected and returned at the Supplier’s expense.
2.1
New Site Updates and General Supplier information:
To ensure receipt of broadcasts regarding new sites opening dates, address
details, site restrictions and or any general supplier info changes i.e. any

2.2
Contracted Carriers:
It is important that Suppliers nominated carriers are aware of the Officeworks delivery
standards and processes contained within this manual.
Officeworks have produced a summary that can be passed onto carriers, however, it is
the Suppliers responsibility to ensure all details regarding these standards & site
restrictions etc are confirmed with the company that is contracted to complete
deliveries.
In particular, it is the Supplier’s responsibility to ensure that their contracted carriers
deliver in full (for a particular ASN) as balances of shipments will not be accepted by
the Cross Dock DCs the day after the delivery. Suppliers will have to pick up the
balance of shipments from the Cross Dock DCs at their own expense.
2.3
Occupational Health & Safety Statement:
The standards contained in this manual are in place to ensure the safety of all Team
Members receiving merchandise on behalf of Officeworks. Failure to adhere to these
standards may result in rejection of the delivery and shipments being returned at the
Supplier’s expense.
3. Purchase Orders
3.1 Defining Order Destination:
Direct to Store (DTS) orders:
DTS orders will have one order number per site, and the delivery location will be one
specific Officeworks site. There will be only one quantity per product of the order, and
this will be the quantity to be delivered on the required delivery date specific to that
site.
3.2
Cross Dock Orders:
Suppliers can only make deliveries to a Cross Dock DC, once they have been B2B
accredited by the Officeworks eCommerce Team. All orders going to a Cross Dock DC
will have one specific DC delivery location. All orders raised for a Cross Dock DC will
be state specific. The order will have all the site allocations per product contained
within the purchase order details. Each GTIN needs to be separately scan packed
according to the B2B standards.
3.3
Import/Big and Bulky Orders:
DC’s handling Officeworks Import/Big and Bulky goods are listed on the O-Link. All
orders to this DC will have one specific location and all orders will be stand alone.

Advising Officeworks of Out of Stocks:
It is imperative that any product that is out of stock must be communicated to
Officeworks Replenishment Team. However Purchase Orders will continue to be raised
for these products and need to be modified via a POA.

to reject or accept the change
 Non POA/POC Suppliers communicate with the Officeworks Replenishment
Team (replen@officeworks.com.au) via an RPOA form

4. Making Deliveries Direct to Officeworks Sites and DCs
It is important that the site restrictions are taken into account when packing orders for
delivery direct to an Officeworks’ site http://suppliers.officeworks.com.au/ please go to
Quick Links & click Officeworks Store Listing. All orders need to be packed separately,
particularly when there are two sites that have the same delivery address. It is
imperative that orders are clearly separated so they can be easily identified on arrival.
4.1 Packing merchandise in cartons for store deliveries:
When packaging merchandise in cartons for deliveries made direct to an Officeworks
store, Suppliers need to ensure that they meet the guidelines listed below:
 The cartons used are strong and secure enough to protect the contents during the
normal transport and distribution processes
 The number of selling units per carton is specified on the carton
 Ensure the package forms a stable unit load
 Ensure the carton does not display any misleading or unrelated information
 Cartons are adequately sealed to avoid pilferage
 Any form of metal strapping or stapling is not used
 Ensure that mixed cartons (where we order in multiples of single units) are of
appropriate size & weight and the carton is clearly marked as “MIXED CARTON”

not send invoices with the delivery or to Officeworks. RCTIs will be created based on
the goods receipted at Officeworks sites and copies emailed to the suppliers
Page 8
nominated remittance email address; however this option can be turned off if
requested.

Delivery of the goods is acceptance of the pricing on the PO; therefore, no price
variance queries will be investigated after the RCTI has been created.

Deliveries will be paid based on stores goods receipts, therefore, no short supply
or price variance claims will be raised by Officeworks.

When a store receipts a product they did not receive, they will contact the
supplier for a Return Authority (RA) to raise a claim. This claim will reverse out
the payment for that product, and will include your RA number.
4.6
Delivery Dates for Direct to Store orders:

to deliver on the expected date without rescheduling may result in a delivery being
rejected and/or the original order being cancelled due to non-delivery. Delivery prior
to the expected date without rescheduling may also result in the delivery being
rejected by the receiving site.

small inners and loose products must be scan packed into as few conveyable cartons
as possible for each site. Cartons are then to be labelled with the SCM containing the
SSCC that has been created by scan packing all products into that carton. It is vital to
both Suppliers and Officeworks that DC processing costs are kept to minimum. All
mixed cartons MUST be clearly marked as MIXED CARTON to assist stores on receipt

9.1
How EDI works:
All ordering, shipping and payment documentation flow will occur according to the
B2B conventions detailed in summary below and refer to EDI Trading Terms Reference
M
Purchase Orders (POs)
Electronic orders are created and sent based on one order per ‘deliver to’ location, i.e.
a separate order for each delivery location. Officeworks expects Suppliers to poll their
electronic mailboxes at least twice a day to collect orders. All transactions must be
confirmed with a functional acknowledgment.
Purchase Orders contain the following detail:
 Purchase Order number, date, and delivery required date
 GTIN’s per product
 Qty’s per product by location
 Costs & GST % per product
 Advert, New Product or Customer Order
 'Deliver to' locations and final destination locations
Confirmation of order details for B2B POA/POC accredited Suppliers:

It is imperative that all details on an order are checked within 24 hours of receipt. If
there are any discrepancies in Barcodes/GTIN, pricing, pack size multiples or a
Supplier’s ability to deliver the ordered quantities and meeting the due date then a
POA must be sent to Officeworks detailing amendments, no POA should be sent if
Page 17





the order can be fulfilled. Officeworks will respond within 4 working hours with a
POC either accepting or rejecting the POA
Officeworks has the capability to initiate a POC (Purchase Order Change) which
can be in the form of a full cancelled Purchase Order, cancel balance of an order
or an amendment to GTIN's, pricing and delivery dates. If all details are correct,
Suppliers are to proceed with picking, packing and dispatching orders in
accordance with the standards contained in this manual
Where another POA has been sent and Officeworks is currently maintaining that
order (POC) then a notification will be sent to the Supplier, rejecting any further
POAs
If an ASN is sent and there is a POA currently in progress, then the ASN takes
precedence over a POA, and a notification will be sent to the Supplier, rejecting the
POA
Once the Supplier and Officeworks agree to the changes of the purchase order, the
Supplier can then proceed with processing the order. Where amendments cannot
be agreed upon then a discussion is required via phone. Where a POA has a
change in pack size, the product will be cancelled, and a new purchase order
then be raised. Where an increase in quantity is required to the original quantity on
the purchase order, the PO will need to be cancelled and a new purchase order is
to be raised
The ASN will be processed in accordance with the current version of the PO
Confirmation of order details for B2B Direct to Store only Suppliers RPOA (where
applicable)



Suppliers are required to communicate any PO amendments by notifying of an
error (the change) to the replenishment co-coordinator via the RPOA process within
24 hours of receiving an EDI order
For a promotional order, any shortages must also be highlighted via the RPOA
process, the Officeworks Replenishment Team will then advise the Buyer prior to
delivery as there may be legal implications surrounding an advertised product. If
all details are correct, Suppliers can proceed with picking, packing and
dispatching the order in accordance with the standards contained within this
manual.
The Officeworks Replenishment Team will then make any necessary changes they
approve, and a new order will be sent to Suppliers once the old order has been
cancelled in circumstances where there is a change in GTIN and price is required.
Suppliers must ensure order processing is suspended until you receive a PO that is
agreed upon
NOTE: This procedure is predicated on the correct GTIN numbering being applied to
each and every product. It is vital that these are correct and vigilance is taken to
ensure that both parties maintain data integrity. It is imperative that this is completed
diligently as Supplier payments will be based on the cost price as per the PO.

9.2
Advance Ship Notice (ASN)
Creating an SCM and ASN requires that all merchandise is scanned, picked and
packed by location as detailed on the PO.
In order to ensure the integrity of data, and the ASN accurately details the quantity
shipped, Officeworks have established an accreditation process that is undertaken
during implementation (Supplier setup). As a rule a Supplier’s systems must:
 Allow the contents of the PO to be interfaced directly to the Suppliers order picking
system
 Collect site data of individual carton contents by scanning each product’s GTIN or
the approved equivalent (e.g. carton TUN)
 The ASN must identify all the GTIN’s that are in a carton/pallet
 Generate a unique GTIN/UCC Code 128 shipping label to be affixed during the
individual carton or bag packing operation
 Compile the ASN from the data collected during the individual carton or bag
packaging operation with links to specific carton labels. This ensures the ASN detail
matches the physical shipment
 Transmit the ASN to Officeworks on completion of the packing process for the entire
shipment. For Deliveries to Cross Dock locations transmit no later than 10am the day
before delivery
 Officeworks will clear electronic mailboxes every 15 minutes to expedite
processing. Suppliers will be sent a functional acknowledgment to confirm
electronic receipt of the ASN. Suppliers should track all transactions sent by
Officeworks to ensure that all functional acknowledgments are received
 The ASN will be matched to the PO to ensure incoming goods were ordered
 The SCM carton label is an integral part of the receiving process. Ensure labels are
always readable/ scan able and positioned correctly on each carton
 All labelling must meet Officeworks requirements – the label standards are included
in this document
Substitute GTIN's:

Every product must have a primary GTIN nominated in each party’s system – any
changes to a GTIN must be advised to the buyer 1 week prior to any shipment.
(This will allow for loading into systems and the order cycle)
Officeworks ASN matching process:
Where the ASN matches the order without exception, delivery, receipt and payment
proceed uninterrupted. ASN matching will fail and require manual intervention or result
in rejection of the delivery where:
 ASN quantity is higher than the order quantity
 GTIN not ordered
 Delivery date is after the delivery required date of the order
 Duplicate ASN
 Duplicate SCM
 GTIN substitute
 Delivery destination incorrect
Page 19
Officeworks Receiving process:





On delivery, the DC will count the number of pallets and compare it to the driver's
consignment note and sign accordingly. The DCs will not count the number of
cartons on the pallets at the time of delivery. This will occur prior to system receipt.
Note: All deliveries are subject to check.
Officeworks expects to be able to scan receive merchandise as it arrives at
receiving DCs. The ASN must be transmitted and matched by DC systems prior to
the goods arriving. The scan process will automate the receipt process and trigger
payment as per agreed payment terms.
DC receiving staff will validate that all SCMs as noted in the ASN are physically
received by scanning each SCM label at the receiving dock.
When all SCM’s are accounted for, this will trigger the internal processing to update
the Officeworks stock and purchase order records, and trigger the accounts
payable cycle.
Cartons will be checked on a random basis to ensure contents exactly match ASN
details.
Errors in ASN details versus actual cartons contents will:





Incur time delays in processing and increase costs
Non payment for stock that has been physically delivered.
Increase the incidence of out of stocks and lost sales.
Identify Suppliers for increased integrity checks
And may result in the delivery being rejected entirely.
Carton contents that match ASN details exactly will:



Minimise processing time and optimise costs
Improve in-stock and sales
Identify Suppliers for less frequent integrity checks
9.3





Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI):
After scan receiving and any subsequent detail checking against the ASN, an RCTI
will be transmitted to Suppliers via EDI, providing a summary of what Suppliers
should expect to be paid for each ASN
Where there are no discrepancies identified, the amount stated in the summary
RCTI would be the quantity per GTIN in the ASN multiplied by the cost and GST in the
PO
Where discrepancies are identified this needs to be reconciled with the summary
RCTI. Where there are adjustments due to discrepancies, the adjustment amount
will be shown separately and an ADM will be emailed
The summary RCTI will be sent within 72 hours of the physical receipt of goods
By creating an RCTI, the responsibility for calculating the correct GST amount passes
from the Supplier to Officeworks. Suppliers will need to sign an agreement, before
Officeworks is authorised to create RCTI. This agreement is attached to the
“Officeworks Supplier Agreement”
Page 20
9.4
Supplier accreditation process:
Suppliers will go through an initial accreditation process to implement an Officeworks
accredited EDI solution. This will be led by the Officeworks eCommerce Team and will
follow the 9 key steps below:









Communication
Feasibility Meeting
Research
Install Solution and/or nominate Third Party Warehouse
Data Preparation
Accreditation
Test Processes
Conversion
Monitor
Step 1—Communication
The first step in introducing the e-commerce solution for trading Business to
Business with our suppliers is an Accreditation pack.
The timetable for roll out is broken into 2 types of suppliers:
a) Those suppliers currently using B2B conventions and who have been accredited
for a GS1way solution with other partners.
b) Those who have not been involved in B2B with other partners.
Regardless of which group your company falls into, you will be a need to be
accredited to the Officeworks B2B requirements. The Supplier eCommerce
Accreditation team will work with you to test the process end to end before going “live”
GS1way.
Step 2- Feasibility meeting
At this meeting a member of our Supplier eCommerce Accreditation team will walk
through the concept, discuss requirements, operational processes and the steps to
implement. The Supplier eCommerce Accreditation team has a thorough
understanding of our approach to e-commerce Business to Business.
Included in the discussion will be a review of your current processes, and supply
channels. The length of this meeting can vary, consider including the following
participants:
• Officeworks Account Manager and/or Business Principal
• Technical staff (internal or consultants)
• Warehousing staff/Customer service staff
Prior to this meeting the buyer will also have discussed with you a range list. This will
include GTIN’s, manufacturing codes, pack sizes, cost prices and measurements of
each pack size (H,W,L and weight)
During this stage you will need to ensure your planned solution or existing solution can
cope with the additional Officeworks volumes where you already scan pack for other
businesses.
Page 21
Step 3—Research
In order to implement an e-commerce Business to Business solution, you will need to
decide how you will implement, and what you need to do to set up your solution. This
step is very important and you should spend the time necessary to get it right for your
business.
Research may involve:
a) Assessing your current processes, systems and overall direction.
b) Evaluating potential solutions.
c) Scoping, costing and selecting a final solution.
d) Preparing an implementation plan in readiness for the next step with Officeworks.
e) Developing a proposed process (at a high level) to ensure integrity working with the
time line to meet the planned conversion dates.
Do not hesitate to contact the Supplier eCommerce Accreditation team if you require
any assistance.
Step 4 - Install
This step will vary greatly from supplier to supplier depending on your size, type of
merchandise, solution provider and current infrastructure.
Typically during this phase you will:
 Install any required additional or upgraded hardware and software
 Test EDI communications and the ordering process
 Define, confirm and test re-engineered processes from receipt of order to
dispatch
When you have completed this step, you will be ready to undertake an online
accreditation test (from electronic order to payment) with Officeworks goods
receipting a pilot order.
Step 5 —Data Preparation
This step involves checking that all product registration details held in Officeworks
systems are correct. We will have provided you with a current Master Data Validation
list to check your range.
You then need to check the following details:
• GTIN’s
• Product Costs
• GST %
• Pack Sizes
• Supplier Product code
If any of these details are incorrect, notify the relevant buyer, and they will make the
necessary changes. Any changes to the Master Data Validation list must be actioned
before any testing can commence.
Step 6 —Test
This step involves an online tool which includes a number of scenarios in the day to
day order process (refer to the Accreditation Pack) that MUST be completed within 2-4
weeks.
Page 22
Part of this test will result in labels and an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) being generated.
Labels are to be sent in to your Supplier eCommerce representative for checking.
A Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) should be emailed to Officeworks to confirm the
receiving process including an ASN Discrepancy Memo (ADM). Successful completion
of these processes forms the basis for final accreditation.
Note: RCTI is an ATO replacement for your tax documents
Step 7 —Accreditation
As part of the final portion of the accreditation, Officeworks will release a pilot order
using 3 articles & will include 2 errors of which you will be notified.
 PO received
 POA sent
 POC received
 ASN released
 Delivery booked & delivered
 Goods receipted & sent to stores
 RCTI received by supplier
Step 8—Conversion
Within a week of successful completion of the Accreditation, Officeworks will then
convert your deliveries to consolidated orders into our Cross Dock Distribution Centres.
Delivery standards and processes for delivering into the DC’s will be contained within
our updated “supply agreements” which will be presented to you for signing in our
trading terms negotiation process.
Commencement will be on a date acceptable to both parties but not less than one
week after completion of Accreditation. Once you are “live”, ASN processing will
commence and Officeworks will expect all orders to be processed using the eCommerce Business to Business process.
Step 9—Monitor
This will be an ongoing process. Officeworks will randomly check and monitor your
delivery performance to ensure integrity requirements are met and maintained.
Detailed checking will initially be intensive until we have established your end to end
process integrity. 100% integrity will result in less checks being performed, however,
any deliveries received with errors will increase the level of checking required.
Increased checking will slow processing down, increase claims and increase
processing costs proportionately.
Your current electronic trading status with other partners and your internal processes
will determine how much you need to do. You may have already partially completed
some of the steps, so communicating with our team will confirm your requirements.
Supplier Accreditation Process for Non POA/POC Suppliers:
The CMT Tool will be utilised for accreditation and be overseen by the Officeworks
eCommerce Team.
Page 23
Supplier Accreditation Process for POA/POC Suppliers:
Once a Supplier has installed additional templates to include POA/POC capability, the
CMT Tool will be utilised for re-accreditation, this will be overseen by the Officeworks
eCommerce team.
Ongoing Compliance:
Orders will be randomly checked at one or all Cross Dock DC’s. Any errors or issues
that arise due to non compliance of the Officeworks B2B standards will be sent to
Suppliers to investigate and resolve. Non-compliance could result in additional
handling charges being imposed upon a Supplier, due to the manual intervention
required at the Cross Dock DC’s.
10. Procedures for EDI transmissions
All EDI messages must identify the sender and recipient and include a means of
verifying the completeness and authenticity of the message. Each party will process or
deal with EDI messages sent to it as soon as possible. Each party agrees to accept the
integrity of all EDI messages unless such message can be shown to have been
corrupted as a result of technical failure on the part of the software, system or
transmission product. An incorrect EDI message needs to be corrected and retransmitted by the sender as soon as practicable with a clear indication that this is a
corrected message.
The cost of sending and storing information electronically is:
 Sending documentation
100% sender
 Receiving documentation
100% receiver
 Receiver mailbox storage
100% receiver

shelf ready packaging, where the carton size is larger
than 0.13 cubic meters (or approx 50CM x 50CM x
50CM).
Handling products within this category: Proceed with
caution. The use of a two person lift or a mechanical
aid is to be considered.
Heavy Weight Icon: For packages and outer cartons
moved as individual units or on shelf ready
packaging (17kg up to 35kg category).
Handling products within this category: Proceed with
caution. The use of a two person lift or a mechanical
aid is to be considered.

These icons must be placed on at least 3 of the sides of the package and located in
prominent positions that are easily identifiable. These icons can be accessed on OLink: http://suppliers.officeworks.com.au/
Example:
Page 25
(B) Product identification labelling
Product identification labelling is required on all single product cartons (inner & outer).
The following needs to be on each carton:
 Product code - the Officeworks product code matching the purchase order
 Inner pack qty - number of individual units contained in inner carton
 Outer pack qty - number of individual units contained in outer carton
 Colour/size of goods
 Delivery labels (see below)
Example:
Product code: 123
Description: Med point RED pens pack of 3
Quantity = 6 units
Colour = red
MIXED
CARTON
Qty = 10
Note: The font size of this label should be 20 or 22. Recommended sizes include Avery
Supply Shipping label product code 5164 (dim: 10.16 CM x 8.47 CM) and Avery label
5563 (dim: 10.7 CM x 5.08 CM).
If products are dispatched in cartons or there are mixed products packed on a pallet,
then it is important that each shipping carton is clearly labelled with the following
information:
TO: Officeworks
Site: name & address
From: (company name)
Consignment Number:
Order Number:
No of cartons on this pallet:
Carton _______ of ________ (total cartons contained in delivery)
(C) SSCC Labels
This Label is based on the “real estate” principal where every data element that could
be required has been given its own specific location. In the case where Officeworks
does not use a particular field then that space is left vacant. The label must NOT be
reformatted because some elements are missing.
The label includes the use of the UCC/GTIN Serial Shipping Container code – which will
only be accepted as valid once the Supplier has been fully accredited.
Page 26
Queries can be directed to the Officeworks eCommerce Team via email at
officeworks.eCommerce@officeworks.com.au or the label specifications can be
downloaded from http://suppliers.officeworks.com.au/
The 3rd digit on a carton label will begin with a ‘3’ or ‘0’ while a pallet label will be ‘1’
Example:
 Carton - 00369010517700003187
 Pallet – 00157022300003711051

Issues with booking a Cross Dock delivery
We have had an issue whereby suppliers have tried to make a booking numerous
times because they either:
a) Received an error email but it went to the wrong dept and are not aware
that the ASN has gone into error
b) Multiple people are trying to book the same order
c) Incorrectly keying the booking into the online booking system i.e.
incorrect order number, incorrect email contact
d) ASN not yet downloaded into the DC
A booking must only be made once against an order unless advised by Officeworks or
the DC, multiple bookings against one order/ASN will result in a delay to your delivery
and potentially your order cancelling at Officeworks. You will then have to pick up the
stock from your carrier at your own cost therefore it is in your best interest to follow the
process correctly.
