Supply Chain Maturity
Work
How well are you matching supply with demand?
How “real” are your supply and demand forecasts?
Is your master data and system driving the execution of the process?
Are all the tasks in the process being performed in a timely fashion by the correct people?
Is the system doing most of the work?
People
How well are you or your partners performing? Are you improving?
Are you addressing issues in a timely fashion?
Can you measure success and failure?
How are you notifying users of exceptions?
How are people doing their work? In the system?
Are your people empowered in their day to day responsibilities?
System
How well are your systems working? Are they integrated with each other?
Is there one source of truth in your process?
Is the process automated as far as possible? How many manual touches are made in your process?
Is the solution mobile enabled? Can you access your information while not wired in?
Is the system process aligned with your business process?
Reporting, Information
Is your organization streamlined to handle the exceptions to the process or are they maintaining the process?
Are your people educated in the process?
Are the users analytical in focus or custodian in focus?
Is change management conducted efficiently in your organization?
Are KPIs in place? Can you measure success or failure?
Are the reports visible to all necessary parties?
Working together towards a common goal – Scalable, Agile, Efficient, Effective Supply Chain

• Material master
• Pricing
2. Procure to Pay (PTP) – Supply and Demand
forecasting

• Drop ships
– Invoice Receipts
– Returns

What is EDI?
• “Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) refers to a system providing global standards for the exchange of structured data, electronically between 2 parties”
• EDI Standards were developed to document the needed business transactions – ANSI X12 and EDIFACT
• Mapping – Transform to / from EDI format to / from internal format
• Communication – Envelope for message delivery between 2 partners ANSI EDIFACT Description
850 ORDERS Purchase Order
855 ORDRSP PO Acknowledgement
856 DESADV Advance Ship Notice
810 INVOIC Invoice
Common EDI PTP Transactions:
a member of The Business Maturity Group
Why EDI?
• Reduction in data capture errors
• Reduction in handling costs for paper documents
• Faster execution of the process – Collapsing the supply Chain – Time between the end of one
activity and the start of the next activity is reduced
– Reduction in Supply Chain Cycle Time
Common hurdles to overcome when implementing EDI 1. Change Management – “We do it this way” 2. Cost – Time and Money to enable the functionality 3. EDI Perception: EDI is technical!!!
You can only automate a GOOD MANUAL process EDI is not the silver bullet to fix your issues in the process

5. Summary
a member of The Business Maturity Group
Describing the PTP Process
Purchase Order (PO): • Vendor, Price, Quantity, Material • Requested Delivery Date
PO Acknowledgment (Confirmation) • “Signature” of confirmation of the order. I.e. The binding
agreement to delivery the correct materials, at the right quantity, at the agreed price on the required date
Advanced Ship Notice (ASN) • Document that the vendor sends the customer telling them
what material and quantity are being shipped • Carrier / Tracking information are also sent so that in-transit
status can be obtained • Packing and Serial numbers • Becomes an Inbound Delivery in SAP
Goods Receipt (GR) • Receive goods in to the warehouse against the inbound
delivery (the vendor ASN)
Invoice Receipt (IR) • Receive the invoice from the vendor to pay based on what
was agreed on in the PO Acknowledgment
a member of The Business Maturity Group
Issues Recommendations • PO has incorrect details
– Master data discrepancies
• Dates, quantities, terms, product
• PO acknowledgments aren’t accurate
• PO changes are not systemically driven
– Can be untimely
• Automation of the process is not a priority (EDI)
– Untimely
• Fully utilize the PO acknowledgement
• Establish audit function
– Ensure process is followed
• Master Data Management
– Master Data governance
• Understand the financial impact of non-compliance
– Quantify disruptions
• Strive for fewer PO changes
– More accurate demand / forecast
• Automate the process
– Fully utilize EDI where possible
• Early warning of potential issues
– Reduced customer impact
– Correct timely info is reflected on the Sales Order schedule for drop ship POs
• PO Changes don’t lead to “surprises”
• PO Rejections are immediately re-sourced
• Back-office process savings
– Account Payable deal with discrepancies

PTP process – Points to note and KPIS
• PO Creation – MRP – Based on Supply and Demand
– Master data driven
– Resources manage exceptions
• PO Confirmation – May change (24hrs)
– SKU, Qty, Date, Price – Decide rules
• Backorders, …
– Workflow Exceptions
• (KPI: Confirmations without changes %, Ack’d within SLA %, Ack Errors %)
• Ship product -> send an ASN (EDI 856) 1-2 hrs
– Create inbound delivery
• Inbound delivery date = 855 PO response schedule (KPI: Fill Rate)
– Warehouse receives against the inbound delivery and not individually
• (KPI: Receiving Errors, Damage %, Wrong SKUs, OTIF, Receipts without ASNs)
