  18. Introduction The implementation of an industry wide initiative as comprehensive as the movement to VICS 4010 will require a resolution process to address standards related issues. Therefore an implementation resolution process has been established to ensure timely resolution and to ensure consistency in implementation.Note: This process will only address standards related issues, and not issues arising from application limitations.

  19. Objectives • Maintain harmonious Trading Partner Relationships • Address Business needs over system needs • Endorse and formally submit required standards changes • Timely resolution (within 4 weeks were standards changes are not required

  20. Structure • A committee of 5 members is to be created preferably from the group who developed the implementation guides. Two members each representing distributors and suppliers and one neutral part (one of the co-chairs of the ECCC Industry Standards Advisory Committee)

  21. Procedure • Documented complaint will be sent to co-chairs of the EDI Technology Committee. Complaint will outline the following points: • Identify trading partners involved • Identify transaction sets • description of issue and problem • suggested approach to resolve the situation

  22. Procedure • Upon receipt of complaint the co-chair will remove the names of the trading partners from the “complaint” and forward it to the other co-chair and members of the Implementation Guideline Committee.A review date will be scheduled within two weeks to discuss and recommend a solution.The recommended solution or judgement is to:be routed back to one of the co-chairs who will notify the complainant of the outcome.

  23. Procedure • If the recommended solution is to: • Change the guidelines:The co-chairs will authorize the change to the guidelines and notify the membership at large indicating the rationale. • Change the Standards:The co-chairs and the ISAC standards representative shall forward the draft request to the appropriate standards body and post a notice on the ECCC web site to advise the membership and indicate status.

  24. Procedure • Upon approval or refusal of the proposed change, the complainant is to be advised by the co-chair and Guidelines will be changed if required.

  25. Appeals • Only those judgements that have not gone to the Standards bodies will be eligible for the appeal process. • Appeals are to be requested in writing stating the position being challenged and the arguments against the initial ruling to either co-chair within 30 days of the judgement. • Appeal verdicts are final.

  26. Appeals Process • Appeals are to be presented by the requester of the appeal with the other affected party to a committee consisting of:The Implementation Guideline Chair, the two co-chairs of the EDI Subcommittee in a meeting (conference call) arranged by the co-chair to be scheduled within two weeks of receiving the notice
