Supplier Exchange User Guide
Introduction The purpose of this document is to assist suppliers to Polaris Industries Inc. (Polaris) in the use of the
Infor Supplier Exchange application with respect to Polaris’s expectations. This guide should be used to
train additional employees within your company.
1.1 Overview
Supplier Exchange (SE) is an advanced, web-enabled supplier relationship management solution that
facilitates effective, efficient collaboration and execution between Polaris and suppliers. It replaces the
E-Commerce Site used by non-traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) suppliers to receive Polaris
purchase orders and debit memos as well as submit invoices.
• Supports all transaction types currently available on E-Commerce Site (PO, PO changes, debit
memos, invoices and planning schedules)
• Individual sign-on and user profiles
• Personalized event notifications and alerts
• Sorting/filtering/ad-hoc reporting capabilities
• Multi-language support (English, Spanish and Polish)
• Download/export content in multiple formats (XML, CSV, XLS)
• More data capacity to store information for a longer duration
• And much more!
During the initial supplier setup, [email protected] will create an “administrator”
Supplier user account. This will be the first user account in Supplier Exchange for that supplier. The
Administrator will be able to set up additional user accounts after the initial setup. We suggest that with
each new user they complete the training on Supplier Exchange to lessen the amount of errors.

IF YOU ARE GOING
TO ENTER AN
INVOICE: BE SURE
YOU ARE IN THE
CORRECT CUSTOMER
ENTITY!
N.AMERICA PO
SHOULD BE INVOICED
UNDER THE
N. AMAERICA
CUSTOMER ENTITY
ONLY!
POLAND PO SHOULD
BE INVOICED UNDER
POLAND.
OTHER WISE IT WILL
ERROR OUT.
If you supply to EMEA Poland and do
not see the customer entity available
please contact
1.3 Polaris Customer Entities
There are two Polaris customer entities on Supplier Exchange:
• “Polaris North America”
• “Polaris EMEA Poland”
You can only access each customer one at a time and will conduct business which each as if they were
two different customers.
Example: If order P999999 ship-to is Polaris Roseau, MN USA plant (warehouse
2), you must access “Polaris North America” to see the order and invoice it. If you
access “Polaris EMEA Poland” you will not see the order and won’t be able to
invoice it.
Viewing the entities
• If you are a vendor that supplies components to only our North America
plant(s), you will only see “Polaris North America”.
• If you are a vendor that supplies components to only our EMEA Poland
plant, you will only see “Polaris EMEA Poland”.
• If you are a vendor that supplies components to both entities, you will
see both “Polaris North America” and “Polaris EMEA Poland”. You can
use one login to access both entities but can only view one entity at a
time by switching back and forth between customers. The entity
highlighted in blue is the current customer you are viewing orders and
invoicing for.
Switch between customer entities

• If you are a vendor that supply components to both entities but have a different remittance
address, you will be given two Polaris vendor numbers for each Polaris customer entity. As a
result, you will have two Supplier Exchange logins, one for “Polaris North America” and one for
“Polaris EMEA Poland”.
1.4 Multiple Supplier Numbers
If you are a supplier with multiple ship from addresses you will log into each Supplier Number separately
for invoicing.
Example:
You are a supplier who has multiple locations:
12345A (located in Dallas, Texas)
12345B (located in Minneapolis, Minnesota)
12345C (located in Charleston, South Carolina)
Your employees would need to log into each location A, B, C with different logins to be able to invoice
for each location.
If your company is expanding to a new location you would need to request the additional login
information and supply the contact who to be set up as the administrator for that location.
Please contact [email protected] to get setup with a login. Please provide the following
information with your request:
• First and Last Name (John Doe)
• Email Address ([email protected])
• Polaris Supplier Number (e.g. 99999A)
• Subject Line: “Supplier Exchange”

Administrator Functions During the initial supplier setup, the Polaris Helpdesk will create an “administrator” user account. This
will be the first user account in Supplier Exchange for that supplier. Administrator users have additional
privileges outlined in this section.
Please take the time to complete the following recommended setup functions as they will greatly
simplify the troubleshooting down the line.
Roles and Restriction Groups should be defined before additional users are added to the account.
2.1 Roles
Roles define what level of functional permission this account will have within Supplier Exchange In other
words, Roles limit what the user can do in the system. Accounts may be limited to only purchasing, or
only shipping, or other functions. Roles will dictate what menu options are present for the account.
There are several pre-defined roles within Supplier Exchange. These may be used to apply functionality
or user-defined roles may be created and applied.
To begin, select Setup menu, select Security menu and click Define Roles.

2.2 Restriction Groups
Where roles limit menu functionality, restrictions limit data visibility. For example, a supplier shipping
clerk may only deal with one Polaris plant. That supplier may choose to restrict some users to only see
that one plant.
To begin, select Setup menu, select Security menu and click Define Restrictions.
Number: OPS-MANL-00583
POLARIS SUPPLIER EXCHANGE MANUAL - EXTERNAL
Revision: 3 Last Saved: 17-APR-17 Page 13 of 80
13
To define a restriction, click New. Then select what the restriction will limit.
Now, we can limit by Customer or Ship From. Click the pencil icon to edit, and then move the requested
customer name from the left hand side to the right hand side using the arrows in the middle.
Click Submit to return to the main restriction screen.
Then, within the selected Customer, we can limit for a selected
Facility. Click the pencil icon to edit the facility.
Example of Role vs. Restriction:
You set up a role for a user who
was going to do invoice entry, so
that they can enter data into the
system. If that user was only going
to invoice for the Roseau location
you would create a restriction so
that all they had visible were the
Roseau POs.
Number: OPS-MANL-00583

Again, move from the left hand (Restricted) side to the right (Allowed) side for the requested locations.
Click Submit to return the main restriction screen.
We have now created a restriction for a Customer (Polaris Testing) and a Facility within that customer
(Polaris Testing). Click Submit to save the restriction group.

2.3 Define Additional User Accounts
By completing the setup process, an administrator account has been created. Additional accounts
(admin or otherwise) may now be created for the necessary employees.
Infor recommends that each individual within a supplier’s company that will be accessing Supplier
Exchange has their own account. Please do not create department accounts like “Customer Service” or
“Sales”.
To begin, select Setup menu, select Security menu and click Define Users.
The edit button is where the Administrator can edit user detail, reset user passwords, and
deactivate a user by turning off all the roles they have access to.
The New button will allow the Administrator to add a new user to the system.

Click New to create a new profile and minimally complete the highlighted information:
Accounts may be defined as “administrator” accounts. During the registration process, it’s assumed that
the account is an administrator. Additional accounts may also be set with admin rights.
If the account being created is an administrator account, check off the “Admin User” field next to the
User ID (highlighted with the red outline). If the account is not an administrator account, then leave that
box un-checked. If the account is not an administrator, it must have a role defined (when in doubt,
select “All Modules”).
Administrator users may not be limited in their functional roles – they have access to everything. All
other user accounts may be flagged as admins or given other permissions (called roles).
Type of User
Roles and Restrictions apply to supplier accounts that will actually log into Supplier Exchange.
Administrators have to be either a “User” or “Contact and User”.
• “User” refers to an account with a login ID and password (does the work).
• “Contact” refers to an account that can receive email notices from Supplier Exchange.
When an account is defined as a “user” they may only login to the website and view content online (but can’t receive email)
When an account is defined as “contact” they may only receive email notices from Supplier Exchange (but can’t login).
When an account is defined as “contact and user”, they may both login and receive mail.
See definitions below
This is where the administrator
will reset a user’s password.

3.3 Forgot Username and/or Password
• If you forgot your username and/or password, go to the main login page of Polaris Supplier Exchange and click on the link “Forgot Username or Password”.
• You will then be asked to enter your work email address. This is the same email address used to create the user account. You will then be asked to answer all three security questions.

3.4 Configure Email Alerts
Email alerts keep you connected to your Supplier Exchange account without needing to log in to the
application to check your account status. As an individual user, you can subscribe to and customize
alerts of various events using product groups and tolerance levels. When an event occurs, a message is
sent to the email address stored in your User Profile.
You can turn on alerts to receive an email notification when events occur. In conjunction with product
groups, you can additionally configure the alerts to be sent for specific parts and for some alerts, set an
acceptable tolerance level before the event is triggered. The alert message will be sent to the address
stored in your User Profile.
If you supply to Polaris North America and EMEA Poland you will receive email notifications for both
customer entities. You cannot turn off alerts for one or the other.
Configure Alerts
1. On the menu, click Preferences.
2. In the Preferences submenu, click Configure Alerts. The Alert List page displays.
3. If you are an admin user, select the User from the drop down menu for whom you are
configuring alerts. If you are non admin user, you will only be able to configure your own alerts.
4. Select the boxes for the alerts to which you are subscribing (see below orange circles). If you
have not created product groups, the alert will be turned on for all parts. If you have created
product groups, you must edit the selected alerts to assign one or more product groups to the
alert. Some alerts also have tolerances associated. You must edit each alert that has a tolerance
to set the tolerance.

EDI
Document profile settings may also be used to configure export from Supplier Exchange of either PO or
Planning Releases as EDI messages. These may be emailed as described above, or they may also be
pushed to a FTP account hosted by the supplier (or supplier’s agent).
To enable export of EDI (or any of the other formats), the supplier must perform the following steps:
• Create a FTP account on a server within the Supplier’s company.
• Within that account’s FTP home directory, create 4 sub-directories named “send”, “receive”,
“archive” and “work”.
• Define a communications host profile within Supplier Exchange
• Associate documents with the host
Define Host for FTP:
Number: OPS-MANL-00583

Complete the FTP Account details.
Associate Documents with the Host
Once the FTP host has been defined, then documents must be associated with that host. Depending
upon the desired EDI or other electronic formats, suppliers may also establish exports directly to the FTP
server by creating entries for each document.
Click Define Documents under the Communications menu and then click Add to associate a document
to the host.

4.1 Configure EMC (Dashboard)
The Event Management Console (EMC) acts as Supplier Exchange's homepage. Through the EMC you
can quickly view critical exceptions and the status of your company account. On the EMC, both
customers and suppliers can quickly view shipment, release, purchase order, and other statistics and
exceptions. You can then click on statistic hyperlinks to view detailed information.
How you customize your preferences will apply to both the Polaris North America and Polaris EMEA
Customer Entities.
Customization
Each user can customize the EMC display. From a list based on purchased modules and the role assigned
by the security administrator, users select which events display. Events can be also be selected to
display as priority items. If a user has established product groups, the event must then be turned on by
product group. Some events also have a tolerance setting. For each product group assigned to an event
with a tolerance setting, users select the tolerance permitted before the event displays.
Statistics
The statistics on the EMC are grouped by data categories: Releases, Purchase Orders, Shipments,
Receipts, Problem Reporting, and Billing. The default category is the user-defined Priority Items. Users
can select a different category by clicking on the category's tab.
Charts
Some information on the EMC can be displayed as a chart. This charting provides a visual representation
of the statistics. To view a chart, in the category header, click View as Chart. The chart displays.
Configure Your EMC
As an individual user, you can configure the Event Management Console (EMC) to display in a way that
better fits your work. You can choose which events displays as priority items, which events display as
category items, and the order in which categories are listed. You can also configure which events display
for which product groups and set tolerances. If you do not configure the EMC, all of the events assigned
to your role display in their category table.
1. On the menu, click Preferences.
2. In the Preferences submenu, click Configure EMC. The Event Modules page displays.

Invoicing Guide
Introduction to Invoicing The purpose of this user guide is to provide Polaris suppliers instructions on how to submit invoices via
Polaris Supplier Exchange.
Please cut out and reference the detail below; following these steps in order will prevent the MOST
common invoicing issues:
High Level Process (Required to be done in this order to prevent the most common Invoicing Issues):
1. Set up each part once the part has been awarded
See ‘Parts’ section of Supplier Exchange User Manual
2. Open and Verify PO (noting the following):
o Facility
o Ship to address
o Ship from Address
o If Open items available
3. Create a Shipper Matching EXACTLY to the PO:
o Facility
o Ship to address
o Ship from address
o Shipper number should match invoice number
4. Create Invoice:
Use shipper that was created with matching invoice number
Complete the Shipper and Invoice BEFORE the goods have been received at Polaris.

Contact Information
• If you have a technical question relating to invoicing electronically, email
• If you have submitted an incorrect invoice, contact Account Payable (763-525-7740) to delete
the invoice from the system. You can then cancel, edit and resubmit correctly.
• If you have submitted an invoice that is late in payment, you are questioning if Polaris received
an invoice you submitted or you have questions regarding electronic payment, please contact
Accounts Payable (763-525-7740).
• If you have questions regarding discrepancies on your invoice versus your Purchase Order,
contact your buyer (for pricing) /planner (for quantity and/or due date) listed on the Purchase
Order you are invoicing from.
Invoicing Best Practices:
• A Shipper MUST be created first and is required to create an invoice.
• Create a new shipper for every new invoice.
• A Shipper can contain multiple POs as long as it’s going to the same ship-to destination, but an
invoice can only have one shipper. If there is a discrepancy on the invoice for any PO, the entire
invoice will be on hold.
• Duplicate Invoices will error out both invoices that were submitted. If you need to delete an
invoice that has been submitted contact AP.
• The Shipper number should be the same as your company’s unique invoice number for reference
and traceability.
• Filling out the Shipper does not replace the ASN submitted through Supplier ASN Web portal if
you receive LeanCor shipping instructions. You must still follow this process.
• Each invoice submission must have a unique Invoice Number. If there are duplicate invoice
numbers they will all get rejected and you will have to resubmit.
• Please use the exact invoice number displayed in your company invoice. For example, if your
company invoice is “INV002145”, submit the invoice as “INV002145”. Do not submit the invoice
as “002145” or “2145”. Also when communicating with Polaris, reference the entire invoice
number.

• An invoice submitted with an invalid PO Number will not process in our system and you will be
requested to resubmit for payment to be issued.
• Verify the Facility, Ship to, Ship from, PO number, PO line item, part number and unit of measure
on the invoice match EXACTLY what is listed on the PO.

Parts Setup Each Polaris part number may be cross-referenced with a supplier’s item number and description.
Supplier Exchange also requires a weight (in pounds or kilograms) for each part.
Once an item has been defined with a supplier item number, it will also be visible on any POs where that
item is ordered. In addition, because the weight has been defined, the weight will automatically calculate
during the shipment process, simplifying the creation of Advance Shipment Notices.
Note: This ASN is non-functioning and does not tie to any system. It will NOT replace the ASN that is
needed to be submitted through Supplier ASN Web Portal if you receive LeanCor shipping instructions.
You must still follow that process.
Example: Part Ordered in EA
To begin, click Setup / Master Data / Parts.
All of the items Polaris has ordered for this supplier will display.
Required:
ALL existing parts and ALL New
parts awarded need to be set up in
the system with a correct weight
converted to pounds.
Parts have to be entered
individually; a mass upload option
is not supported by the system.

You can search the list using either the customer (Polaris) item number or a supplier number (if defined).
Otherwise, select the part, and click the pencil icon to the left hand side.
For example, the above part has not been defined – it has not been given a weight nor has it been given a
supplier item number or description. Click the Edit button in the middle of the screen to make those
changes.
Supplier Part Number: this is the supplier assigned item number against the Polaris item. This may be
used to track the internal number for the part.
Weight: The amount (in Pounds or Kilograms) that one of the Unit of Measure weighs. In this example,
the unit of measure is “EA” or each. So, this example shows that 1 EA weighs 10 pounds. The part weight
is relative to the unit of measure.
Must always be “EA”
Must be converted to pounds

Note: If the unit of measure is LB, then the weight is 1 pound (because one LB weights one pound). If the
unit of measure is KG, but the supplier is shipping in pounds, then the value becomes 2.2 because one
kilogram weighs 2.2 pounds.
Ignore the part price and currency as those values will be read from the PO directly.

Common Reasons PO(s) would not visible or be unable to invoice against:
1. If the parts were received at Polaris before you submitted your shipper and invoice in Supplier Exchange the system will close the PO. If this is the case you will need to create an Ad-Hoc Invoice (see “Creating an Ad-Hoc Invoice” section).
2. If a PO does not have open releases it will not show up in Supplier Exchange. Contact Polaris Planner for more detail.
3. If there is not an open quantity left of the PO to invoice against you will need to Contact your Polaris Planner. Please note: Once you create a shipper and publish it the quantity listed on that shipper is removed from the PO quantity. Review your ASNs for unused shippers that may be causing the quantity error. You can edit and uses the shippers to invoice. (See Edit Shippers section)

Creating a Shipper Shipper Creation
Shippers are working documents where line items can be applied in order to generate an invoice. As
requirements are added to shippers, the demand from which they originate is fulfilled.
Creating a Shipper is REQUIRED before invoicing can be created.
Shipper number should be the same as the Invoice number.
A Shipper is REQUIRED for invoicing even if you are invoicing for labor, tooling,
or anything that will not be physically shipped.
You will need a new shipper number every time you have a new invoice.
You can have multiple POs on a shipper and corresponding invoice, but all line items on the shipper and
invoice MUST be the same ‘Facility’ and ‘Ship To’.
Supplier Exchange stores default shipper information. The first time a shipper is created, the header
information becomes default data. The next time a shipper is created, the default header information is
automatically populated. The defaults can be updated by overwriting the populated information with the
correct Shipper/Invoice number.
The first time a shipper is created for a particular part, the selected ‘Ship From’ becomes the default ‘Ship
From’ for that part. When creating shippers in the future, the part will only be available for shipping on
shippers originating from its default Ship From.
Do not press the Backspace Button, if you do your shipper number will be saved and be unable for you to
enter into the shipper details to proceed. In this system the shipper number has to be unique for every
invoice. If you do hit the backspace button in error you can find the shipper in the Edit Shipper Menu.
(See Edit Shipper section for more detail)
The Shipper must be created before the goods are received into Polaris for the quantity to be
available on the PO for you to invoice using the correct process. If the goods have already been
received you will need to create an Ad-Hoc invoice.
Do NOT press the Backspace Button in this system!

Line Items
When parts are added to a shipper, they become shipper line items. Depending on the customer setup,
line items may be based on the part, the part and PO combination, or the part and pull signal
combination. Adding one part may add one or more line items. When a shipper is staged, it is
automatically saved as a shipper.
Once a shipper is published the quantity is removed from the open quantity on the PO and is available
to invoice.
Through the Shipments menu tab, you can create a shipper.
1. On the menu, click Shipments.
2. On the Shipments submenu, click Create Shipper. The Facility and Location Selection page displays.
3. Select the Facility from the drop down menu. (noted in #6 of Open & Verifying PO step)
4. Select the Ship To from the drop down menu. (noted in #6 of Open & Verifying PO step)
5. Select the Ship From address from the drop down menu.
6. The next shipper number is entered for you. Change the shipper number to match the Invoice
Number.
7. Click Continue. The Requirements page displays.
This is the section where you have to EXACTLY
match what you wrote down from the PO to not
create an error. There may be a lot of drop down
options but be careful which option you choose.
Remember to have the shipper number match
the invoice number for traceability and ability to
match invoice to shipper at a later date.

8. Enter the Requirement Filters and click Search. The Parts List updates. The number of
days’ set will show the number of open orders and quantities due within the date range.
NOTE:
If the PO does not show up you will need to increase the Days value according to the suggestions
below, and click Search.
Enter this information into the section outlined in Red:
The following values are suggested for Domestic Suppliers
30 Requirement View
5 Ship Coverage
2 Transit Time
The following values are suggested for International Suppliers
120 Requirement View
65 Ship Coverage
60 Transit Time
If the PO does not show up after you have tried changing the dates you will need to confirm that
there is open quantity on that PO, and that the parts were not already received prior to your
entering in the shipper and invoice. If this is the case an Ad-Hoc invoice will be needed. (See

13. Validate and Publish when finished.
Note: Once the Shipper has been published it will become an ASN. This ASN is non-functioning and does
not tie to any system. It will NOT replace the ASN that needs to be submitted through Supplier ASN Web
portal if you receive LeanCor shipping instructions. You must still follow that process.
Note: Once the Shipper has been created the quantity entered on that shipper will be removed from
the open quantity on the PO. If you do not use a shipper the system will count the amount “shipped”
against the open PO. At the end of the year this will block you from invoicing as the PO will show as “No
Open Quantity.”
You can open a shipper and edit it to be reused later if needed. See following section.

Note: Each invoice submission must have a unique Invoice Number. If there are duplicate
invoice numbers they will all get rejected and you will have to resubmit. Be sure to have Accounts
Payable delete the duplicate invoices so that when you resubmit it will not be automatically
rejected.
Note: Please use the exact invoice number displayed in your company invoice. For example, if
your company invoice is “INV002145”, submit the invoice as “INV002145”. Do not submit the
invoice number as “002145” or “002145”.

• You can invoice the quantity in two ways Invoicing for payment terms of 50/50 or 1/3, 1/3,1/3 you
can use decimal places or a quantity of 1
Preferred Method (prevents most common invoicing errors)
o The decimal format will allow you to create shippers for each invoice and thus is the
preferred method.
o If you invoice for a quantity of 1 for the first invoice you will be required to invoice the
next invoices using the Ad-Hoc Invoicing process (See Section 15 in this manual).
o If you are invoicing using decimals you will need to invoice using the following:
o Use 0.5 for both invoices if your terms are 50/50
o Use 0.33 for the first invoice, 0.33 for the second invoice, and 0.34 for the final invoice if
your terms are 1/3, 1/3, 1/3.
o The PT will remain open until the complete amount of the PT has been invoiced and paid.
• Best Practice: make the amount divisible by .33 equally if those are the terms of payment so that
when the invoice enters our system will automatically pay, provided everything else was submitted
properly.

Alternate Method (room for errors, process not preferred)
o BE CONSISTANT. If you have already invoiced the first or second invoices using a 1 you
will need to complete the final invoices using the Ad-Hoc invoicing process. If you begin a
new PO using the decimal format you will need to submit all subsequent invoices using
this format.
o Edit invoice cost to be half or one third of the full amount.

Creating an Ad-Hoc Invoice This is for EXCEPTIONS and should not be used as the standard way to enter invoices! Everything is
manually entered thus there is more room for error when using Ad-Hoc Invoices.

received at Polaris before you completed the Shipper and Invoice).
High Level Process (Ad-Hoc INVOICES ONLY):
1. Open and Verify PO (noting the following):
o Facility
o Ship to address
o Ship from Address
o PO number
o Part Number
o Price
2. Manually Enter Invoice Details
o Matching EXACTLY the information highlighted from the PO
o Most errors occur here! Make sure to carefully enter the details from the PO.
