Welcome to the Info Portal for Bosch Suppliers
Processing manual documents is time consuming and cost intensive for Bosch and its suppliers. Errors caused by manual data entries result in delays in processing and tie up resources. Bosch would like to continuously improve its business processes and further optimize and expand the cooperation together with you.
Bosch already handles the purchase-to-pay process (also known as P2P process) with many suppliers via the SupplyOn online portal solution. In addition, the S2C process is now available on the i-Source platform, which provides electronic handling of these processes : request for quotation, auctions and contract management.
Get more information in the section Process Information.

Important Information

Which Bosch sites are affected by the switch to electronic business processes?
All Bosch sites around the world will be integrated step-by-step into this electronic business process. If you supply several Bosch plants, you can check the list of already available and planned Bosch sites to see which plants already manage their orders and invoices digitally.
Already available and planned Bosch sites
If a site is not listed yet, you will continue to receive orders from it through your usual channel. As soon as the respective site has switched to the new process, orders to your company will be sent automatically only via SupplyOn.
Attention: Once a Bosch plant has switched to the new process, it will send its purchase orders only through SupplyOn and, provided the specific Bosch site is enabled to process electronic invoicing, it will only accept invoices sent via SupplyOn.

What are Bosch's objectives with the use of SupplyOn's online platform?
Processing business transactions online is a matter of course today in many areas of private and professional life. Bosch has already been processing the purchase of production material online for many years. Worldwide procurement of indirect material and services will now also be handled uniformly in this efficient way in the future. The purchase order and invoice process will be more transparent and faster as a result.
What advantages does the connection offer me as a supplier?
By connecting to SupplyOn, you will be able to digitally receive orders from Bosch and then process them online all the way up to the invoice preparation. This means:
- No more manual effort is required to enter purchase orders and invoices: There are no printing and sending costs.
- All cases are handled in one portal – a complete overview is available and the respective status of individual processes can be retrieved at any time.
- Simple order confirmation and invoice preparation at the click of a mouse thanks to pre-filled fields.
- In order to facilitate punctual payment, order and invoice data are compared and compliance with legal requirements is checked before the invoice is forwarded to Bosch.
How do I receive my purchase order during the rollout?
Because Bosch is migrating successively to the new process, you may receive purchase orders both via SupplyOn and in the traditional manner during the rollout phase. Please process the purchase orders you receive via SupplyOn directly on the platform. All other purchase orders can be processed in the traditional way as in the past.
