Electronic Data Interchange – EDI We require vendors to trade documents electronically. All documents used by us will be according to 004010VICS standards. We do not support any documents lower than 004010VICS. Finish Line uses a 3rd Party provider, OpenText/GXS, for our EDI: Email: mssupport@gsx.com Phone: (800) 334-2255, Option #2 Address: 9711 Washingtonian Boulevard, Gaithersburg, MD 20878 Set up and testing EDI In order to be set up on EDI with The Finish Line, you must first have a valid vendor ID number provided by a Finish Line Buyer. Use the vendor number to complete the New EDI Setup Request form. The vendor must completely fill out the set up form and select: • TRADITIONAL EDI or WEB SERVICES • Test and production qualifiers and ID’s • Your van or service provider • Your contact information • If you use a 3rd party provider of EDI include their contact information as well Upon completion of the setup request form, we will forward your information to GXS. GXS will contact the person listed on the form and let them know how to obtain mapping documents and how testing will proceed. Vendors are responsible for any EDI fees charged by GXS. When testing is completed, GXS will send an e-mail to both the vendor partner and Finish Line. Finish Line will contact the vendor’s contact to coordinate a “Go Live” date. Transaction Types We exchange the following EDI Documents 850 – PO Add 856 – Advance Ship Notification (ASN) 810 – Invoice Other Information VENDOR NUMBER The vendor number, assigned by Finish Line will be sent to you in the REF02 segment with an IA qualifier. This vendor number must be included on all EDI documents you send to us. DEPARTMENT NUMBER Department number on the EDI 850 document is sent in the N9 segment in the Detail section. Department number is only required on tickets. (Merchandise) Finish Line Page 5 Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018
EDI856 Advanced Ship Notice
Finish Line requires a consolidated EDI856 with carton and UPC/GTIN/EAN level information for every shipment
sent to a distribution center or directly to a store. An EDI856 must be transmitted and successfully accepted
within 24 hours of the purchase order leaving the vendor shipping dock or before the purchase order arrives at the
delivery location, whichever is sooner. Finish Line retrieves inbound EDI data frequently. However, vendors are
instructed to allow three (3) hours of data processing time. It is recommended that EDI856 transmissions be sent
immediately after the truck door has closed.
EDI856 transmissions for merchandise shipped by any mode other than small package must be consolidated by
BOL. A separate EDI856 must be provided for each BOL. For multiple truckloads, a unique BOL must be
assigned to each trailer and therefore separate EDI856 documents transmitted.
EDI856 transmissions for merchandise shipped via truckload carriers must have only one EDI856 per BOL with
the BOL number transmitted in REF 02 using both the BM and CN qualifiers. If one trailer has multiple ship to
locations, one EDI856 transmission per location per trailer is acceptable.
EDI856 transmissions for merchandise shipped via less-than-truckload carriers must have only one EDI856 per
BOL with the BOL number transmitted in REF 02 using the BM qualifier and the LTL pro number transmitted in
REF 02 using the CN qualifier. If one trailer has multiple ship to locations, one EDI856 transmission per location
per trailer is acceptable.
EDI856 transmissions for merchandise shipped via small package carrier must have one EDI856 per each carton
with the tracking number transmitted in REF 02, using the CN qualifier.
EDI856 ASN header shipment_ID must be unique to each ASN transmitted. Reusing shipment ID numbers is
prohibited.
Carton identification numbers are expected to remain within The Finish Line supply chain for a period of up to one
year. Do not re-use any carton identification numbers during a one year period.
To maintain the integrity of The Finish Line EDI documentation program, it is imperative that all EDI856 and
corresponding GS1-128 data, including physical labels, are timely and accurate.
Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a chargeback.
MASTER UPC NUMBER
• A Master UPC is sent when product is to be pre-packed.
• Pre-pack orders begin with 999
• The master UPC is located at PO107 when PO103 = CA, and has an IT qualifier in PO106.
• Finish Line will only send one style / color per pre-pack purchase order.
• The master UPC sent is 11 digits. To calculate the 12th check digit, several online tools exist. You might
try one of the following:
o https://www.upcdatabase.com/checkdigit.asp
o http://www.gtin.info/check-digit-calculator/
o http://www.morovia.com/education/utility/upc-ean.asp
NON – EDI VENDORS (For non-merchandise use only)
All purchase orders will be sent out via EDI (or e-mail if requested for a special circumstance). If you are not able
to receive/transmit traditional EDI documents. You should use the Global Vendor Portal Solution (aka Web EDI)
provided by OpenText/GXS. This will allow you to receive Finish Line POs online as well as provide the required
EDI ASN and Invoice documents using web based tools. Selecting the web solution option on the New EDI Setup
Request form will prompt OpenText/GXS to reach out to the provided contact person regarding setup and usage
of these tools.

Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018Ticketing and Labeling
Tags and labels are required because they provide accurate inventory control information which allows your
product to flow quickly and efficiently to our retail stores. All products must be properly ticketed, packaged, and
packed prior to being shipped to our distribution center. All products should follow the specifications and
requirements set forth within this manual and any additional buyer instructions. We reserve the right to charge
back for any merchandise arriving at our distribution center that has been incorrectly ticketed, packaged, packed,
or labeled, as specified in this manual and/or on the Finish Line purchase order.
The vendor is responsible for obtaining a UPC Bar code number, the Finish Line style, color code, size,
department number, and the retail price from our purchase order and attaching the information on a tag or label.
The vendor is also responsible for checking and verifying that the information from the Finish Line purchase order
matches the tags when The Finish Line utilizes a vendors’ information. In the case where a 3rd party or ticketing
supplier prints tickets and/or labels, the vendor is responsible to make sure the information is printed and applied
correctly. Every effort is made by the suppliers to ensure errors do not happen; however, the vendor is
responsible for making sure the correct information and labels are placed on the merchandise.
Here is the recommended ticketing supplier:

Finish Line Page 14
Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018Ticket Types
There are five (5) different tickets described and shown on the following pages.
Standard label
• A standard label is used when a UPC Bar Code and Size are on a shoe box.
• A standard label is mainly used by footwear vendors.
Bar code label
• Contains all required information and may be applied to vendor hang tags, poly bags, shoe boxes, inner
packs, inner boxes, underneath baseball cap bills, etc.
• Should only be used if no other UPC code is on the product.
• Is used by all vendors
Price tag
• Has all required information on it and is the same format as the bar code label.
• The only difference between a bar code label and price tag is the type of ticket stock it is printed on.
• A price tag is mainly used by apparel vendors
Small accessory label
• The small accessory label is used on NON-sized items such as sunglasses, watches, wristbands,
pennants, jewelry, and smaller accessory items.
• Is used for accessories.
Master UPC label
• The master UPC label is used on any purchase order that begins with the numbers “999”.
• The master UPC label is applied to the pre-pack or pick unit.
• The master UPC label is the parent SKU for the child SKUs inside a pre-pack.
• We use this label to pick the product.
• When there is only one pre-pack in a carton, the master UPC label may be incorporated onto your
shipping label.
Notes and other Information
• The majority of apparel vendors will use the price tag which is attached with minimum 3” long plastic
fastener.
• If vendors prefer, you may apply a bar code label to your information / hang tag.
• If your hang tag has a UPC bar code and size on it, you may use the standard label.
• We want the style and color code information on the same side as the UPC; however, we do not want two
UPC bar codes showing. In other words, you do not need to duplicate information on a sticker that is
already on the hang tag.
• The small accessory label should be used when your product is too small for the normal tags and the
normal 1” x 1.5” tag does not fit.
• Sunglass vendors or jewelry vendors may use “rat tail” tags as long as the bar codes are within
requirements.
• Layouts are preferred but are not mandatory. All fields may be left justified.
• Do not cover up the UPC, size, or any descriptive information when applying any labels.
• Although the exact ticket size is not mandatory, vendors should make every effort to keep the size as
close as possible to the ticket size shown.
• Only one bar code should be visible. Do not apply or show multiple bar codes.
• Purchase orders beginning with “999” are pre-pack purchase orders and require a master UPC label.
• A master UPC label is to be applied to the pre-pack (pick unit) when the product is packed in a pre-
packed carton or poly bag.
• Master UPC labels should be placed in the middle on the front of the poly bag or “pick unit”. This UPC is
created by The Finish Line system when the purchase order is generated.
• Inner packs should be poly bagged together, with an additional bar coded label in the middle of the front
of the poly bag. This UPC is the same as what is on the product inside the bundle.

Finish Line Page 16
Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018Bar Code Requirements
All bar codes on all tickets should fall within the following requirements.
The Finish Line uses a barcode verifier that measures the quality of the bar codes which is expressed in a letter
grade. This ensures that the bar code will scan successfully. Finish Line has set the standards at a minimum
quality measurement of A or B for the bar codes on tickets. For example, if your UPC bar code does not register
a passing grade of A or B on the verifier we will re-ticket the product and bill you for ticketing charges.
Minimum Dimensions
• The minimum height of a bar code should be .5 or ½ inches.
• The minimum width of a bar code should be 7/8 inches.
• Not less than a 0.009 density
Preferred dimensions
• The Height of an ideal bar code should be .6 or 5/8 inches.
• The Width of an ideal bar code should be 1.25 inches.
• About a density of 0.013
Maximum Dimensions
• The maximum height of a bar code should be 1.25 inches.
• The maximum width of a bar code should be 1 ¾ inches.
• About a density of 0.018

Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018Ticket Placement – Apparel Price tags should be swift tacked with a 3” or longer plastic fastener, through the manufacturer’s care label at the neck, or through the manufacture’s care label at the waistband. For items without care labels, price tags should be swift tacked with a 3” or longer plastic fastener through the left side seam for pants, and the left underarm seam for tops. Extreme care should be taken not to damage product or put the swift tack through the thread causing it to break. If you have a UPC bar code and size on your hangtag, you may place a standard label on the same side as the UPC. If you do not have a UPC and Size on your hangtag, use the price tag or the bar code label. All solid orders for Apparel must be individually folded, tagged, and poly bagged, with the UPC bar code fully visible through the bag. Inner packs may be poly bagged together, with an additional bar code tag in the middle of the outside of the poly bag. Tags on the products should be hidden in this instance. In other words, two UPC codes should not show at the same time. A charge for multiple UPC’s showing will be incurred. Pre-packs may be poly bagged together, with the Master UPC Label in the middle of the outside of the poly bag. Tags on the products should be hidden in this instance. In other words, two UPC codes should not show at the same time. A charge for multiple UPC’s showing will be incurred. Plastic clips, straight pins, and hangers should NOT be on the product. A charge will be incurred. (IE: Tee’s, Jackets, Fleece) Shorts and Pants Finish Line Page 19 Vendor Compliance Manual Revised 01/01/2018
Ticket Placement – Accessories
When applying accessory price tags or labels, care must be used to ensure valuable consumer information or
product information is not obstructed. The labels should also be placed so the customer can easily see the retail
price.
Caps / Visors A bar code label should be affixed on the flat side, underneath the bill of the hat. Do not
place on stitching or anything that would cause the label to come loose.
Belts Belts must be on riders with a price tag attached to the buckle.
Do not use sticky labels on belts.
Bucket Hats A bar code label should be affixed on the flat side, underneath the bill of the hat. Do not
place on stitching or anything that would cause label to come loose.
Knit Hats Swift tacked with price tag through seam on top.
Jewelry Jewelry should be carded with a bar code or accessory label centered on the back of a
card.
Bags / Back Packs Swift tack a price tag or attach a short plastic fastener to zipper pull.
Socks In bands Tickets should be placed on the back band and not obstruct vital information.
Socks In bags Place ticket on the front or back of the package in the upper right hand corner so it does
not obstruct any vital information.
Boxed Sunglasses Place in lower right hand corner of short end of box.
Bagged Sunglasses On the front or back of the bag in the upper right hand corner so it does not cover
up any vital information or a rat tail tag attached to the bridge or stem.
Sunglasses (Other) Bridge tags across the nose or Butterfly tags attached to the stem are acceptable.
Insoles On front or back of the package in the upper right hand corner without covering up any
vital information.
Watches Two tags are used – one on the bottom of the box or package, and an industry standard
“jewelry” price tag attached to watch.
Master UPC Label The master UPC label should be affixed to the “pick unit”. If there is one item in the
carton then it should be on the carton as the carton is the pick unit. If there are multiple
pre-packs inside a master carton then it would be on the pre-pack. Place the master
UPC label in the middle of the pre-pack. IE: Middle of the poly bag.
General Make sure when packaging any items (I.E. boxes, bubble packs etc). UPC labels
are easily visible and are facing UP in the same direction.
Unique items If you are unsure about the placement of a ticket or label, contact the appropriate buyer
or e-mail us at vendor@finishline.com.

ORDER TYPES
Solid order – The PO number begins with 116 for footwear, 415 for apparel, or 801 for accessories.
The carton is packed with all of the same style/color/size with the same SKU or UPC.
Inner pack order –- Mostly used in apparel or accessories. The PO number begins 415 for apparel or
801 for accessories. An inner pack order is like a solid order but the vendor is instructed by the buyer to
package or wrap a quantity of the same size together; e.g., 2 sweatshirts, 3 tees, 6 socks etc. This
breaks a larger carton into smaller pick quantities so that a carton of 48 is broken down to 16 inner-packs
of 3. Inner pack orders require an additional UPC bar code (same as on product) on the inner pack.
Pre-pack order – All pre-pack purchase orders begin with 999. A pre-pack is the same style and color
but different sizes in a pre-determined size range and quantity. Pre-pack orders require a master UPC
bar code label on the master carton.
Unless otherwise specified by the buyer, merchandise should be packed as “solid” cartons or “solid inner
packs” with consistent quantities throughout all cartons as directed by The Finish Line purchase order
with only ONE (1) style, color, and size in each carton (UPC). Pre-pack orders are excluded from the
size requirement.
