 Notes
753 - REQUEST FOR ROUTING INSTRUCTIONS BUSINESS RULES
(rev. 6/2013)

The purpose of this document is to provide an explanation of JCPenney’s use of some of the major sections of the
753 (Request for Routing Instructions) for Transportation Management System (TMS) Dynamic Routing and Routing
Authorization (TMS Lite). For a complete explanation, refer to the Business Rules and Glossary under the
Transportation Management System section of the Supplier website.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
TMS DYNAMIC ROUTING:
The TMS Dynamic Routing program provides benefits of real-time network optimization, including destination and
mode selection. This transaction is integral to the TMS – Dynamic Routing Initiative program.

ROUTING AUTHORIZATION:
TMS Routing Authorization (TMS Lite) is an exception to the Dynamic Routing process that requires approval from
the JCPenney Supply Chain Manager or JCPenney Load Management on a case by case basis. TMS Routing
Authorization (TMS Lite) will validate the PO/DI (Purchase Order/Delivery Instruction) included in the request, but will
not provide routing information. Routing must be done manually and the approver will provide to the supplier
information on how to route the shipment. A supplier is not authorized to ship without receipt of a 754 for each
specific Purchase Order/Delivery Instruction.

***Note: The reference to Purchase Order (PO) in the above statement is not the POM PO (contract order). The POM
PO number is not included in the 753 Request for Routing document.

HEADER LEVEL

BEGINNING SEGMENT [BGN]

The purpose of this segment is to identify the transaction set purpose, reference identification, date and time of the
transaction. The transaction set purpose [BGN01] is 'Original' (00). The sender's [vendor] internal number is used as
the reference identification number [BGN02] to identify the transaction set within the vendor's application system.

ADMINISTRATIVE COMMUNICATION CONTACT [PER]

This segment is used to specify the Supplier's contact information. In section

PER02, the supplier will provide the contact person's name. The contact's telephone number is sent in the PER04
field. The telephone number must consist of a 3-digit area code and a 7-digit phone number. The supplier must also
send an email address [PER06]. JCPenney will reject the 753 request if the email address in PER06 is missing or
incomplete.

DETAIL LEVEL

BUSINESS INSTRUCTIONS AND REFERENCE NUMBER [L11]

The reference identification in L1101 is the vendor assigned control number for a specific shipment. L1102 is the
reference identification qualifier 'RRC'[Routing Request Control Number]. The Routing Request Control Number
[RRC] must be formatted to include the 6-digit JCPenney supplier number, with leading zeroes and inclusive of the
check digit, the 5-digit JCPenney unit number from the 850 N1 Z7 with leading zeroes and inclusive of the check
digits, the current date in the YYYYMMDD format and a 6-digit sequential number. For example, vendor #012345,
shipping to store 00166, and sending the 753 on 6/25/12 would have an RRC number of
"0123450016620120625000001". The 6-digit sequential portion of the RRC would be incremented by 1 for each
subsequent RRC.

ORDER INFORMATION DETAIL [OID]

This segment is used to identify the JCPenney purchase order information.

TMS – DYNAMIC ROUTING:

For Dynamic Routing this segment includes the purchase order number [OID02], subdivision number [OID03],
quantity (number of cartons and pieces) [OID05], weight in pounds [OID07] and volume in cubit feet. Both number of
cartons and selling units are required. This is accomplished by sending two OID loops for each purchase order, one
for cartons and a second for selling units [pieces]. The first OID, representing the number of cartons, will contain a
packaging form code of CTN in data field OID04 and in data field OID05 the value will be the number of cartons
shipped against the purchase order number listed in OID02. The second OID will contain information related to the
number of selling units [pieces] in those cartons. In data field OID04 the packaging form code is PCS [pieces],
OID05 is the number of pieces [selling units] contained in each carton.

TMS – ROUTING AUTHORIZATION (TMS Lite):

For TMS Lite only one OID segment is required. This OID will contain information related to the number of selling
units [pieces] shipping against the selected purchase order [OID02]. In data field OID04, the packaging form code is
PCS [pieces], OID05 is the number of pieces [selling units]. The number of cartons [CTN] is not required for TMS Lite
[Routing Authorization] but it is mandatory for the ‘full’ (Dynamic) TMS program.

Note: The purchase order number used in the OID02 is found in the EDI 850 where BEG02 is ‘SA’ or ‘RE’ and
BEG03 is the 8 digit purchase order/delivery instruction number.
