US Tradestone Training Manual
Vendor Task lists
In the center of the Dashboard, you will see “Task lists”. These are meant to serve as locations where
you can monitor your workload.
“My action req’d
query” is where you
will accept all “new
and “revised” orders
Click here EVERY time
you return to the
dashboard, in order to
update numbers next

Task lists – PO Management
My Action Required
When you log into the system, you will access all new or revised PO’s in the “My Action required”
query. Below screen indicates that there are 3 POs requiring your attention.
Clicking on that query will open list of PO’s that require your attention. Click on the blue PO# and you
will enter into the PO. (You may see a PO# repeated, this just means there are multiple lines on the PO
you a can select anyone to enter into the PO)
8
Notice the
Status of
NEW. This
means that
the PO has
not yet been
accepted by
the vendor
US Tradestone Training Manual
You can see that from the URBN perspective, the Status is APPROVED.
The Vendor does have the option of printing the order before their formal Acceptance, as it may be
easier to review the PO in its printed format.
This is showing as
new because the
vendor has not
accepted the PO
yet.
9
US Tradestone Training Manual
Vendor PO Acceptance & Entering Country of Origin:
The first thing a vendor must do before they accept the PO is enter the country of origin:
To select the country of origin, while in the PO click on the
next to CO:
A pop-up window will appear, where you can type in the description (I used China for this example) and
select search:
10
US Tradestone Training Manual
Once your description appears, click on blue code next to it:
The code will appear in the PO and you can save:
11
US Tradestone Training Manual
After the CO is entered, if you would like to accept the PO, then click the “Vendor Accept” button.
Two things will happen here.
1.
You will see that the Vendor status has moved to Accepted.
2. If you look on the “My Action Required” on the dashboard, you will not see the PO there
anymore:
What was a
list of 3 is now
a list of 2.
This will also remove it from the Urban task of “Vendor Action Required” – so
they will not be bothering you to Accept the order!!!
12
US Tradestone Training Manual
The “accepted” PO can now be found in the “Search All PO’s” query. If you need to retrieve your order
it will be under in the “PO-Vdr- Search All PO’s” query under “Vendor task list 2 .”
Vendor Request Change
If the vendors needs to request a change on a PO (new or previously accepted). The Vendor can open
the order and request a change. From the PO screen, follow these steps.
1. Select View > Order Comments
2. Click new comment
13
US Tradestone Training Manual
3. Enter in your requested change then select post.
4. After the comment has been entered and the comment window is closed, select the “Vendor Request
Change” button in the PO. The buyer will now get an alert of their dashboard and can go into the PO and
see what change is being requested.
14
US Tradestone Training Manual
Notice that
your status
changed.
After this, the PO will now appear on the Urban’s dashboard under their “my action required” Then
Urban will then respond to you:
15
US Tradestone Training Manual
If Urban responds (and doesn’t update the purchase order), back on your dashboard, under “My Action
Required”. The PO will appear with a status of “URBN Response”
When the buyer responds but doesn’t update the PO, it will be listed in your “My Action Required”
query with a status of “Urban Response” , no email alert will be sent. This is only so that you open the
PO and view the Comments. Urban may also revise the order. If this is the case you will receive an
email alert and the vendor status will state “ Urbn Revison”
The purpose of requesting revisions in Tradestone is that the messages stay with
the PO for its entire lifecycle. URBN understands that phone calls and e-mails
about PO’s happen all the time. We can’t prevent that, but we do request that
using this messaging occur when possible.
16
US Tradestone Training Manual
PO Revisions (by URBN)
In the case that Urban chooses to revise the PO, the PO will be sent back into Tradestone and the
vendor will need to re-accept.
A Revised PO will trigger an e-mail to the vendor alerting them to go into Tradestone. Once in the
system, the “My Action Required” task will show the PO with a “URBN Revision” status.
After accessing this PO, the Vendor can look up the specific differences – by field – that have changed
since the previous version. To do this, select View > Change Tracking
Notice the
Price changed
from $6.75 to
$8.25
17
US Tradestone Training Manual
Or, if the buyer makes a comment on the change you can go to view “order comments”
Click the
to return to the PO.
From here, the Vendor can either Accept the PO, or Request a Change.
18
US Tradestone Training Manual
Search for PO’s
“Search All PO’s” serves as a way to search for PO’s that have already been accepted.
1. Select the query from the dashboard
2. The following window will pop-up when the query screen opens. Click OK.
3. You must enter something in the PO# field before clicking Search (i.e. the PO #) If you want to
search for all PO’s enter a 0 in the PO field.
4. If you do not know the PO # and instead want to search by Vendor Style # or any other field.
Enter a zero in the PO# field as well as the style # in the style # field.
19
US Tradestone Training Manual
5.
Placing a zero in the PO field will also help you to search for all PO’s.
6. You can sort by any of the fields by placing clicking the arrow on the top:
20
US Tradestone Training Manual
ALL VENDORS – Customs Description of Goods
URBN is moving towards ensuring that all of our items – whether purchased directly from the source or
through a market vendor – have the following:
Customs Description – a description of the goods that clearly defines the item for US Customs
HTS # - the “Harmonized Tariff” number that codes the item for US Customs
URBN will be responsible for the HTS#.
Vendor is responsible for the customs description.
On your Dashboard, you will see a query under your “vendor task list 2” for “Update Customs Desc”, this
is where you will enter the description.
21
US Tradestone Training Manual
1. Click on the “Update Customs Desc” query.
2. A list of items that need Customs Description will appear. Enter the description in the “customs

Packing List
Select PO to Pack
*There is 2 reasons why a PO would not show up in packing list builder :
1) The PO is not approved status of Urban or vendor side. Check PO to make sure it is an
“approved /accepted” status.
2) A packing list has already been created or created and deleted- In this case double check to see
if there a packing list created. IF there is no packing list, you must switch the status of the PO from
packed to new ( *see open PO line for packing) and create a new packing list.
When ready to pack a PO, the vendor accesses the “Packing List Builder” within Tradestone. From here,
they can select a PO(s) to pack.

Packing Process – Copy a Line
In some cases, there may be overruns for a size that cannot fit into the standard configuration.
For example, 300 units were ordered and you have packed 125 Loose Units in 2 Cartons. But you have
50 Units remaining. Since that will not fit in the standard 125units/Carton breakout, you need to add a
loose line for that SKU.
50 extra
units
You need to follow these steps:
1.
Click the row that you need to add an additional carton for:
2. Click on the “Copy Line” button. You can see the new line added.
3. You must make the “Start No” the next in the sequence for the total Packing List.
Since 2 was the latest
Carton, 3 needs to be
the start on the new
line
4. After saving, the totals will update.
32
US Tradestone Training Manual
Packing Process – Create Loose Lines from a PPK-(Pre-packed orders only)
In some cases, you need to break up a pre-packed line and ship loose units.
For example, say that the PPK lines are packed.
Looking at the PO, you can see that there is 6-7-8-9-10 within the Pack for the black color and you have
an extra 20 units for each 9 and 10
1. Check the PPK row that you need to break out
2. Click the Create Loose Lines button.
33
US Tradestone Training Manual
3. The Loose lines for each SKU in that PPK will appear. Check the SKU’s (sizes) that you do not
need. (If you need them all, then ignore this step). And then click the
button.
4. With those lines deleted, you can add the cartons for the loose SKU’s.
Remember that if you add lines to a Packing List where lines already exist, you
need to make sure that the “Start Carton #” is the next one in the sequence.
34
US Tradestone Training Manual
Packing Process – Create a Mixed SKU Carton
A mixed carton is when you are mixing skus( sizes and colors) in the same carton. If you need to mix skus

41
US Tradestone Training Manual
Packing Process – Submit Packing List for Approval
Prior to shipment, all packing list need to be submitted for Approval. Submitting the packing list checks
the PL to ensure that you are shipping the PO within acceptable tolerances. For information on
tolerances and packing requirements please visit www.urbanvendor.com
Once you have entered the all the finalized details of the PL, click the ‘Vendor Submit PL’ button.
If all tolerance checks are met (+/- 5% for each SKU), then the PL will be approved.
42
US Tradestone Training Manual
Packing Process – Out of Tolerance PL
We allow vendors to ship a variance of + or -5% at the SKU level. If you exceed this, the packing list will
indicate that it is “out of tolerance.” You will receive this message “Entered shipment quantities are not
within acceptable tolerance. Packing list is being routed to URBN for approval”
Note the packing list is not being sent to URBN this alert means you must contact URBN for
approval of short shipment. If there are major variances, the buyer may need to revise the order in
our system
If all tolerance checks are met (+/- 5% for each SKU), then the PL will be approved.
Packing Process – Modifying a Submitted Packing List
A submitted Packing List can be modified. If you need to update an already created packing list, search
for the packing list ( see page 40) ,place you curser in the field you want to change,delete current
information, update new information, save, and resubmit packing list:

How to Print Packing List
To Print the Packing List, select Reports > Print Packing List, a PDF of the PO will pop-up. Please print
PDF.
Please make sure to let URBN know if there are individuals in your organization
who specifically do the Packing task. I think in most cases, we assume it is not
the person in day-to-day contact with the URBN Buyer.
45
US Tradestone Training Manual
Printing UCC-128 Carton Labels
The key element to our increased visibility at the Distribution Center is to prove a carton label on each
box. These labels will be generated from the Packing List document. If filled out correctly, the Packing
List will provide the detail for each carton number.

using below queries:
Query Name

Definition
For PO’s where URBN is the importer of goods into the US. This query will
show PO, Style, Cargo Receipt, Dock and Receiving Dates. Users can drill into
the BOL/Airway Bill for details. NOTE: Federal Express shipments will be
visible on 4/1/2012.

This will show all PO’s that have either docked or been received at the URBN
DC in the last two weeks. This will include import and domestic orders.

The following values will be on all Retail, Direct and Wholesale PO’s:

FAQ’s
Q) My PO is not in the packing list builder. Why?
There are 2 reasons why a PO will not be in the packing list builder:
1. It is not in an “approved/accepted” status. If your PO is in a “new” “revision” or “request
change” status and needs to be approved by you before you can create a packing list.
2. The PO is in a packed status. Once you select build in the packing list builder, the PO goes into a
packed status which prevents you from creating another packing list.

Q) Why is my packing list stating “out of tolerance?”
We allow vendors to ship a variance of + or -5% at the SKU level(size and color level). If you exceed this,
the packing list will indicate that it is “out of tolerance.” You must notify the buyer that the order is
shipping out of tolerance in order to get their approval so vendor relations can accept the packing list.If
there are major variances, the buyer may need to revise the order in our system.
Please see below examples of why a packing list may be “out of tolerance:
Color : Green/ Size: Small /Ordered Units:20 /Shipped:24 17% out of tolerance
Color : Green /Size: Medium/ Ordered Units:30 /Shipped:36 17% out of tolerance
Color : Green /Size: Small Ordered Units:20/ Shipped:24 17% out of tolerance
