Project Overview This project will consolidate Vendor Funds data into the Consolidated Enterprise Data Warehouse

(EDW). Today the data exists in multiple source systems, with many of those systems to be replaced by ORMS. The primary deliverable of this project is reporting and cost analysis through EDW reporting. The project also includes the development and implementation of the enterprise Cost Engine Algorithm that will assign a cost to each retail item sold. This will provide a single enterprise wide solution for all vendor funds, both Retail and Supply Chain. This data will empower the business with accurate and timely Vendor Funds data in their vendor negotiations from the enterprise-wide to the local level. Project purpose 1. Provide for collection of all VF data in one location for single version of the truth reporting across the enterprise. 2. Provide timely and accurate reporting data, delivered to the business users in consistent metrics. This information is to be used for vendor negotiations and analysis of vendor performance. 3. Design the initial foundation through the billed (collected) and disbursed (allocated) VF data, combined with cost information, which will assist in the analysis of an individual vendors performance. Phases of Project Phase -1 Load Supplier Primary source - LAWSON AP System (has been working to get a common listing of all suppliers/vendors with one unique number, previously all the different source systems had their own unique identifying number which has been difficult to combine without a cross reference) Step 1 Loaded supplier status and supplier type Supplier status - listing of valid supplier statuses Supplier type - listing of valid supplier types Step 2 Loaded supplier

 Load Deal requirements (schedule & history) Deals provided by suppliers are distributed to stores; this information is set at different source systems across the enterprise. There are three different sources for Deal Requirements as part of phase 1 of the project. Claims System - For banners ACME, Inter Mountain West, Jewel (GMHBC Departments) and Southern California. Vendor Funding Collection Tool (VFCT) - For the Jewel Banner. Bill Back - EA Banners. Loaded Dealtype deal defined by business for the vendors Loaded Dealcomponent components defined for deriving the deal for different vendors Deal,dealdtl Phase II The cost engine tanks (different cost inputs) are populating and cost is being generated for ALL items sold in SVU retail stores. Making a common cost calculating mechanism for entire organization Phase III Remaining historical data from retail banners that were not part of the initial phase have been loaded to the EDW for consolidated reporting and are either sourced from their legacy systems or ORMS. The remaining reports not contained in phase 1 of the project are delivered. Phase IV The EITF calculation process and automation of accounting entries replace the existing manual process (where it is possible to do so, based on the detailed requirements).
