Frequently Asked Questions
If you are currently relying on an EDI solution to integrate your major suppliers, you have already seen the benefits of this technology. You will probably want to extend it to lower-volume suppliers that may not be required to adopt these systems.
What is the cost for suppliers using the portal to receive documents such as purchase orders?
The Supplier Portal is a web EDI environment that the sponsor company of the project is financially responsible for. In no case will the suppliers who exchange messages through the portal bear the cost of setting up or using the portal as a user.
Is the portal secure for the sponsor company and its suppliers?
It is 100% secure since the entire communication flow, and integration processes are carried out using private electronic data interchange networks such as EDICOMNet, and secure protocols adapted to the nature of these transactions.
What type of companies are typically integrated with the sponsor through a supplier portal?
Sometimes partners in your supply chain do not have a solution adapted to your EDI project, or are not in a position to adopt a solution in the short-term. These are usually small or medium-sized suppliers with whom the supplier has a reduced volume of document exchange. It is also possible to extend its use to service providers and creditors.
In addition to purchase orders, what other documents can be sent to suppliers through the portal?
Although they are designed for basic data exchange flows (purchase orders and invoices), the portals allow the implementation of workflows with a larger number of documents if the project so requires. The sponsor can use this channel to inform its suppliers of stocks and logistical data on the product available at its points of sale or warehouses (INVRPT) or issue notices of goods receipts once they have arrived at their destination (RECADV).
In addition to invoices, what other documents can the supplier send to the client through the portal?
Within the messages that make up the flow required by the project, you can implement whichever ones are necessary. Such as the dispatch notification (DESADV) to inform the client that goods are leaving the manufacturer's warehouse or the product catalog (PRICAT) with information about the products, details, prices, etc.
Is it possible to configure different document flows from one supplier to another?
Yes, the supplier portals allow you to catalog the different suppliers according to their characteristics. It is possible to configure different document flows adapted to the particularities of your project, involving them in the issuance and processing of more or fewer messages, depending on the type of relationship maintained with the portal sponsor.
