Over the years, the automotive industry has developed highly detailed, independent EDI procedures with very individual content and processes. This is why P2plus has a separate industry module tailored to the needs of suppliers that work closely with other suppliers or OEMs.
Outline
Agreement Management
An outline agreement is concluded for each product that is supplied as
part of a logistics chain. In addition to the product in question, the
delivery procedure is defined. Current delivery progress and the next
scheduled delivery dates and quantities are also specified (cumulative
quantities).
Delivery
Schedules
In addition to specifying the date and quantity of the next delivery,
call-offs also preview other planned deliveries. Just-in-time delivery
schedules can specify even more detailed quantities and dates. P2plus
automatically plans incoming delivery schedules and applies changes to
materials planning forward from the last call-off. In such a way, upcoming
deliveries and possible backlogs can be queried any time.
Dispatch
Logistics
Delivery has very detailed requirements in terms of the definition and
content of shipping documents, including the transport container used.
Special logistics providers are usually integrated into this process.
Here P2plus Automotive supports all important procedures such as EDL and
AMES-T. Invoicing (credit note expectations) must also conform to specific
rules and regulations.
P2plus Automotive fully covers all of these procedures and in such a way
allows automotive suppliers to participate in electronic data exchange
regardless of whether they work using VDA, EDIFACT or ODETTE.
Here P2plus
uses SEEBURGER's tried-and-tested communication system (BIS), which has
all imaginable application scenarios reliably under control thanks to
its XML technology.
P2plus also has a few other decisive functions for suppliers, including operating facilities management (tools, inspection equipment) and batch or serial number management. P2plus' sophisticated packaging organization also helps suppliers meet the strict documentation requirements that OEMs usually demand of the product process.
