If you need to start off on solid footing with Walmart’s Supplier One, this class is for you. In just one morning, you will learn its key features — items and inventory, claims and returns, order management, and payments and charges — and how to use this new app. This is helpful for those working in replenishment, accounting, supply chain, analytics, administration, and account management. The team also benefits when those in sales and customer service take this class.
ACCOUNTING
Start on the right foot and stay on solid footing. Understand your supplier agreement and all its aspects. Then learn how to properly invoice and how to avoid common pitfalls and errors. Find out how to secure documentation if it’s needed and where to turn if you need help.
Locating what you need is a challenge in accounting. Here you will learn where key aspects of accounting are located — saving you time, frustration, and mistakes. The relationship between compliance and accounting is explained, post audits are explored, and Walmart’s expectations are clearly laid out for you.
SUPPLY CHAIN
Helpful for analysts as well as those working in category replenishment, logistics, project management, and even customer service.
Because this focuses on On Time In Full requirements and the ramifications of non-compliance, those working in any aspect of supply chain, EDI data and systems, deductions, and inventory control benefit from this class.

This overview of the entire Walmart supply chain, start to finish, provides a solid foundation for those learning supply chain as well as those experienced with it who want a fuller understanding of how it all works and today’s procedures and requirements.
ITEM MANAGEMENT
All three of these classes (1: The Groundwork of Item Creation, 2: How to Create Items, 3: How to Manage Items) teach the correct way to enter items into Walmart’s systems and improve your sales.
