SHIPMENT ENTRY

  1. The required information for entering a shipment in MacysNet is Total Cartons, Total Weight, and Total Cube or trailer space, Bill of Lading number, and every Purchase Order (PO) on the shipment.


  2. Once the shipment has been submitted, the system will return a SHIPMENT NUMBER, located at the top of the page. Please keep this number for future reference.


  3. If your address is not available in the address drop down box, you may use the link from the shipment entry screen to the Shipping Address Update Form. Note: When you submit your address add request, please allow 1-2 business days for the address to be updated in the system.


PURCHASE ORDER ENTRY

  1. MacysNet Shipping will allow a Purchase Order number to entered only once per shipment. If you enter the same Purchase Order number more than once on a shipment, you will receive an error message and must correct the multiple entries.


  2. You may enter both Cartons and GOH (Garments on Hangers) on a single shipment if you have more than one Purchase Order number on the shipment. However, if your shipment consists of only one Purchase Order, you must enter one shipment for the Cartons and a second shipment for GOH.


SHIPMENT CHANGE - ADDING PURCHASE ORDERS TO A SHIPMENT

Once a routing request has been entered into the system and a shipment number assigned, you will not be able to add a Purchase Order to that shipment. Any additions must be entered as a new shipment.  While every attempt will be made to move this additional shipment with the original, we cannot guarantee that that it will.

SHIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Shipment Specifications are designed for you to use to communicate specific shipment information. They may be used in conjunction with the Specialized Routing Requests if necessary, or alone.  Not every shipment requires the use of a Shipment Specification. Only select a specification if it applies to your shipment.  The system will default to “None.”


VENDOR LOCATION

All vendors are assigned a Vendor Number, this is your 9 digit DUNS number with a “0” added to the beginning and a “90” added to the end, making it a 12 digit number.  Many vendors have more than one Vendor Number.  If you have more than one Vendor Number, every one of these numbers must be added to the “Account Numbers” section of your user profile.  Account numbers may be added to or deleted from your profile at any time.


VENDOR ADDRESS MAINTENANCE

Use the Shipping Address Update Form, located in the Routing Guide section of this website to make the following changes:
  • Add New Address
  • Modify Address Information
  • Delete Inactive Address
  • Modify Contact Information
Please allow 1-2 business days for your request to be processed.


MACYSNET SHIPPING SHIPMENT STATUS MESSAGES

RESULT

Reject - Purchase orders with the result of "Reject" will be ignored; these will not be accepted into the system.

Accept - Purchase orders with the result of "Accept" will be accepted into the system.

STATUS
The Status messages will tell you why the PO is "reject". While your PO may have more than one reject reason, only one reject reason will show at a time. The reject reasons are as follows:

PO Not Found - This is not a valid number in our system. Please check the number you are entering. If the number you keyed in matches want was transmitted to you, please contact the Merchant to confirm the order number.

PO Past Cancel - The PO cancel date has passed.  Only the division Merchant can change the cancel date on a PO.

Invalid PO Division - PO number does not match the Division.  Please check the division you have selected to make sure the division you selected is correct for the PO number you are entering. i.e. if you specified Macy’s East as the division on the shipment, you can not enter a Bloomingdale’s PO, only Macy’s East orders can be entered.

Invalid PO Vendor - This Purchase Order number is assigned to another vendor.  Check the PO number you are entering.  If the number you keyed in matches what was transmitted to you, please contact he merchant to confirm the order number.

Entry - Purchase Order has not been final approved for purchase. Contact the Merchant.

Invalid Ship Address - The account number assigned to your shipping location does not match the account number assigned to your PO. Please call the Macy’s Transportation Office at 404-250-7239 for assistance.
