MAS Direct Network received an email today from Bloomnt informing us of the following:

"We changed the shop code for our committment to coverage (Bloomnet Headquarters)  it is now Z9980000.   We are no longer using Z9990000."

As a result, MAS Direct Network has changed the BMT HQ code accordingly across the systems to the updated Z9980000 code.
