EDI Letter to Vendors
  Dear Valued Vendor,   You are being contacted
because you are not exchanging selected business
transactions such as purchase orders, invoices
and advance ship notices electronically with Rite
Aid. Therefore, Rite Aid and SPS Commerce have
partnered in order to offer you very cost
effective electronic solutions for enablement. 
Our goal is for our vendor community to support
this initiative of exchanging these transactions
electronically.    Vendors delivering
merchandise to our Distribution Centers for
resale are required to support all three
transactions. Those vendors delivering
non-resale merchandise are asked to support
exchanging the purchase order and invoice
electronically.        Also, we encourage you to
visit Rite Aids Supplier Portal and reference
the Vendor Supply Chain Guide located
at https//raportal.riteaid.com/RA/RAPORTAL/RAMN00
01.aspx.  This applies to vendors delivering
merchandise to our Distribution Centers for
resale.    As a market leader for enablement
services, SPS Commerce offers several custom
solutions to enable compliance, even if you do
not currently utilize or have an EDI
system. Please visit SPS web site for more
details at http//www.spscommerce.com/ . Some of
the services offered     Receive electronic
transactions over the Internet using SPS
Commerces Web Forms service. Utilize SPS
Commerces File Integration service, an option
for our high volume suppliers that    do not
currently use EDI. SPS Commerce has dedicated
support representatives that are knowledgeable on
the Rite Aid EDI requirements and can guide you
through the process. To begin please contact SPS
Commerce at [phone] or e-mail clientservice
s_at_spscommerce.com.   Thank you in advance for
your assistance and support in this endeavor

EDI What are my options?

• Choose one of SPS Hosted EDI Services
• Option 1 File Integration
• The most advanced service where data is
  exchanged between your accounting application and
  Rite Aid directly WITHOUT data entry. SPS has a
  simple interface to make it easy for vendors to
  integrate their accounting system to SPS without
  knowing the ins and outs of EDI. We also have
  out of the box adapters for many popular
  accounting systems like PeachTree, QuickBooks,
  MAS/90, Macola, Great Plains, as well as many
  others.
• Option 2 WebForms
• A simple utility that operates in a web browser.
  PO notifications are sent to you via e-mail
  where the user is able to access the actual PO
  with a single mouse click. Returning ASNs and
  Invoices require a minimal amount data entry to
  send data back to Rite Aid. The service helps
  reduce data entry by automatically loading many
  of the fields for you. The remaining fields are
  entered by you and error checking helps prevent
  you from submitting forms with typographical
  errors. This service can also be used with over
  700 Retailers, like Rite Aid, whose electronic
  requirements are already operational in our data
  center.
• Option 3 FAX Service
• This option is easy. All you need to do is send
  and receive faxes to a new phone number. SPS
  commerce will perform the data entry and
  conversion of the fax to electronic format back
  and forth with Rite Aid.
