I received a call from Walmart last week about beginning to test. I was
told we could also go to Retail Link to pull down the needed 816
information. I was able to do that with the assistance of customer service.
Walmart suggested that I get my own ID for Retail Link since we will be
required to check the 816 information on a regular basis.
Another interesting note: After retrieving the data, you need to take a
TEST on the Walmart site to validate that you are ready to go to the next
step and receive test V4030 850's.... Walmart will call you back after you
submit a passing test for each vendor number you have.
