Real use case: Supply Chain Maturity Whitepaper

I recently published a blog detailing how the supply chain PTP (Procure to Pay) process could benefit from a tightly integrated SAP EDI process. To view the entire blog please read it at http://qdatausa.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/real-use-case-supply-chain-maturity-whitepaper

The blog shows how EDI is a catalyst for achieving that elusive “Perfect Order” which can be defined as:

A) Shipment is:

• Accurate according to our order
  • On time, Correct quantity, Complete
• Communicated to us
  • Timely communication, Electronically (EDI) To our specification, Communication matches actual shipment detail
• Packaged correctly
• Labeled correctly
  • Legible,  In support of our process

B) Product is:

• Good quality
  • Damage free
• Correctly labeled

C) Regulations:

• Comply with safety regulations
• Comply with social and environmental regulations
• Comply with legal terms and conditions

A “Perfect Order ” completely fulfills ALL the above stipulations.

Looking forward to hearing thoughts and comments around this crucial topic.
