When receiving smokeless tobacco the UPS driver is not required to be present while receiving is completed. All must be
verified 100%.
If receiving smokeless tobacco, make sure you receive the order paperwork from UPS within a day or two of due in date.
Check for the product in your tobacco area. If it arrives in you store, you must receive it in the system assuming your AAFES
equipment is working if not go to your AAFES POC and watch them process the receipt.

Wrong quantities
•
If by chance the wrong quantity came in, do not key in C (as that would be the same as being correct) you must arrow
over and key in what you actually received. If product is damaged, send it back, have a signature of the commissary
employee on the PO to say it was returned due to damage.
When you pull up the PO# on the screen, receive it at the current shelf price. If different pricing, process a price change and
request AAFES give you a new price change sheet. REMEMBER this is for smokeless tobacco only.
Instructions are for non-SSRV users.

When receiving in the warehouse, from AAFES DC, the AAFES driver must be present until the number
of cases are counted and reconciled. Driver and receiver must both sign recap and note any
shortages/overages or obvious damage Tobacco receiver must do a 100% verification of all product by
UPC after the driver leaves.
Make sure all the manifests are brought up to the Administration office on the day of receipt. (Make
sure you have the signature of both the receiver and the driver).
When you receive your manifest, check your sell prices immediately against your current price list for
the month, (use the regular sell price not the VPR). If it is different, make sure you do a Notification of
Adjustment (attachment 6 located in DO Policy 03-12. MAKE sure you use the current price list for that
month).
Damaged merchandise may be sent back with the driver. If damage is caught later make sure to take
pictures and notify the POC’s of either Dan Daniels or Waco. You will be asked to fill out a COD form
and fax to either POC for credit. If the damage is minor and only a carton or two are damaged see if
you can transfer the undamaged items to AAFES since they sell single packs. Remember that we can
only transfer the undamaged items, to get the amount take the shelf price and divide by how many
packs in carton (10 usually), take that number times how many are being transferred.
Questions?
• Permanent Price change- increase/decrease
• If the price is an increase we owe AAFES and therefore
must post the difference under the 441 column.
• If the price is a decrease AAFES owes us and therefore
must be posted under the 442 column.
• Best way to figure it out is to use the 708 as a
worksheet.

Wrong quantities
•
While receiving, if it is discovered that you are over in product, short in product, received incorrect
product for another product, you must complete the AAFES shortage/overage form immediately or
within 24 hours. Fill out the overage and shortage form. Attach the invoice found inside the box.
You will need two signatures on the invoice. If you receive a case of Marlboro and the product
should have been Doral, check your billing to make sure you were billed incorrectly. Cut the
sticker off of the outside of the box. Attach that to the overage and shortage form. You will notify
The appropriate POC’s at either Dan Daniels or Waco, and fax the paperwork to them. They will
send you the verification back and you will get a final e-mail back in about 2-3 weeks showing it is
complete.

IGLAS AAFES Equipment
•
Always go by the amount in the “sell” column. Never use the cost column.
•
Transaction codes are at the far left. They should coordinate with your tobacco log. You may enter something in a different
place, depending on what it is, but as long as it is on the IGLAS and keyed correctly (- or+) you should be fine. Run an IGLAS at
least once a week. If you do not have the equipment see below. ( If you are on SSRV you will run them off your computers.)
Your entry may be in September but they may have posted it on the October IGLAS. That is fine, just as long as it is posted and
within the correct inventory year. Even though the AAFES calendar end of the month states one thing, they do go back and enter
items in the same month so check around, the 20th of the month for the previous month just to be safe. This has not happened
often, but it does happen. Also, if you need to find out information (company, ECT) from the IGLAS, arrow down in the left hand
column and hit 1 enter and the screen will change to show you that transaction.

Trans Action Code (TC) Report sent by Ms. Hinojos
•
Always go by the amount in the “sell” column. Never use the cost column.
•
There are several columns that you don’t need. The spreadsheet can be adjusted to print all on one
page and only contain the information needed. Open your spreadsheet and make sure all the data on
all the months looks the same, if they do select all the months and fix all together if not you must do the
ones that are the same together and than the others. To do this you click on the month (start with Feb)
and while holding your ctrl key down click on the remaining months you want. You will notice that they
are all highlighted. Go file, page set up, and set it to landscape. You may want to center your data, to do
this you click on the square on the top of the page above the 1 and before the A and go to the tool bar
and click on the center will have 4-5 lines going across. While the page is still highlighted you will need
to extend all of your columns. To do this you go to the top of the page and place your pointer between
two of the columns this will make a cross symbol, when you see that double click and you should see all
the columns extend. If you did not see this and the page is no longer highlighted you need to start again
by re-highlighting the page. Next go to the columns you don’t need and highlight the entire column , right
click inside the column go down to hide and click. The columns you want to leave are going to be the
fiscal period, trans code, sell amount, and all the references. Once all this is done you can ungroup your
sheets by simply clicking on the last page on the spreadsheets, it will say cost-sell or you can right click
on Feb and hit ungroup sheets.
•
Print your spreadsheet and reconcile monthly with your tobacco document log. It is a MUST that you
reconcile with your log monthly.
•
Note that the first entry on the spreadsheet may be the first entry on your tobacco log for the following
month. Example the first entry in Feb may actually be your first entry in March. And VPR’s may not be
with the actual month reported, you may find them 2-3 months later.
•
They will be adding the sales TC in FY 08.

Remember tobacco logs must be sent to the Region POC, Elizabeth Lyons by the 10 th
of every month
Remember an inventory must be taken every time you have a price change, this does
not apply to VPR changes.
Remember an inventory must be taken at the end of every month.
Remember to try and keep your inventory low to avoid having product go out of date. It
is our responsibility to assure product does not go out of date.
Remember receiving product is very important. It must be 100% and must be
accurate. Make sure tobacco is always locked up. Make sure the MSC office is given
all the paper work.
Remember to get with your AAFES POC on a weekly basis to assure you are getting
all of the price changes, especially towards the end of the month. This helps keep the
line of communication open. They can also assist you with any issues you may have to
include issues with your equipment or lack of.
Remember to run a sales movement report at the end of the VPR. Remember to give
this to AAFES. Get a copy of their paperwork for the TC #’s.
Remember to give AAFES a copy of any adjustments, using the Notification of
Adjustment form. And get a copy back from them for the TC #’s.
Remember to get AAFES to sign for the paperwork given to them on our version of
AAFES Transmittal /Batch Ticket.
Most important! Remember this is our account and our responsibility.
