Orders from your customer Safran ED can either be based on scheduling agreements (SED PO numbers 55xxxx / AirSupply PO Type CALLUP) or it can be a spot buy (SED PO numbers 45xxxx / AirSupply PO type OTHER).

Material demands based on scheduling agreements are first displayed in the forecast module in AirSupply and automatically converted into a purchase order as soon as they reach agreed firm zone for the material.

As a supplier, you need to confirm your customer's orders in AirSupply. You have the possibility to propose changes to the delivery date and quantity.

Please find clear instructions in the supplier video´s and guide for purchase orders on the right hand side. 

Benefits for the Supplier:

  • Clear presentation of all activities and their processing status via a central cockpit.
  • Tracking of the order history (order changes, order confirmations etc.)
  • Security in your order processing, as no orders are overlooked anymore.

Forecast and Analyze

The demand forecast provided by your customer Safran Electronic Defence is based on the scheduling agreements with your company.

The single demands are part of the AirSupply Forecast, as long as they have not yet reached the agreed firm zone for the corresponding material. After that, the material demands are automatically converted into a Purchase Order type CALLUP and are no longer part of the forecast.

An update of the forecast data takes place once a week. For your customer Safran ED, no collaboration on the forecast data is enabled, this means that suppliers can confirm or adjust it.

The transmitted demands are only to be considered as information to support the suppliers in their planning. The data provided are not contractually binding for your customer Safran Electronic Defence and may be subject to change at any time.

Since Safran Electronic Defence does not enable collaboration, the Forecast data view is the most relevant view within the AirSupply Forecast module, in which the single demands are displayed on a daily basis. The Collab view additionally offers an aggregated overview, which allow response.

Please find clear instructions in the supplier video´s and guide for forecast on the right hand side.

Despatch Advice (ASN)

With the Despatch Advice (ASN) you announce electronically the delivery of the requested goods to your customer.

When creating a Despatch Advice (ASN) in AirSupply, the form will be already partially prefilled with information taken from the selected Purchase Order lines to reduce the manual effort. Further transport-specific data must then be added by the supplier.

You have the possibility to combine several Purchase Order lines into one Despatch Advice (ASN).

A Despatch Advice (ASN) in AirSupply consists of a header, handling units named Expedition Unit (UX) and physical packages named Elementary Unit (UE). One Expedition Unit can contain several Elementary Units.

In addition, there is a tab UX dimensions in which the supplier can specify the handling units. This is not mandatory, but it makes it much easier for the customer if he knows, for example, what type of packaging type with what dimensions and weight he can expect.

As a supplier you have the possibility to print labels based on the entered data of the ASN, which you can use for the physical shipment. Separate labels are created for each defined handling unit (UX) and each contained physical package (UE).

After the creation of the Despatch Advice (ASN), the included Purchase Order lines receive the status "Shipped" or "Partially Shipped" in the AirSupply orders module.

Please find clear instructions in the supplier video´s and guide for Despatch Advice (ASN) on the right hand side.

Goods Receipt - From goods acceptance to entry in the system

As soon as the goods sent by the supplier arrive at the warehouse, they are booked into the customer's ERP system. The information is then also submitted to AirSupply to make it visible to the suppliers as well.

As a supplier, you do not need to take any specific actions in AirSupply. The aim of the goods receipt booking in AirSupply is to provide all parties involved the information whether an order item has already been completely or partially delivered.

In the AirSupply orders module, the corresponding order lines for which the goods receipt was booked get the status "Received" or "Partially Received".

In the AirSupply module "Stock Information", the specific goods receipt bookings can be reviewed in detail.

If there are complaints after the goods receipt, the Received Quantity of a PO line can be reduced again. In the Stock Information module, you can identify this by a negative movement type and the description returned.

Please find on the right side, a video and a guide for suppliers with clear instructions on goods receipt.
