Buyside and Sellside

All organizations in the SupplyOn portal can be either customer (buyside) or supplier (sellside), because certain functions are fixed to the type of entity (e.g. a buyside entity cannot receive a Purchase order or create ASNs. Both applies to sellside organizations only).

Corporate Group(CG)

The Corporate Group is the top-level organization in the SupplyOn organization structure. Commercially, customer and supplier organizations are connected on this level.  A CG can have multiple LEs.

In this chapter we will explain the following topics to you:

• SupplyOn Portal Structure
• Creation and maintenance of customer plants (Control Points)
• Activation of suppliers (Network links)
• Creation of user accounts

All explained tasks can only be performed for your own company. It is not possible to create plants or user accounts for your suppliers.

Implement EDI Messages

The following picture shows an overview about the different messages. The purchase order message is also used to transfer goods receipt information to AirSupply.

If you have not worked with AirSupply until now or you know AirSupply only from the usage as a supplier, please check the following AirSupply documentations in detail.

This is an important precondition before we start with the technical implementation. Take also a detailed look on the purchase order collaboration model. This is very important to understand how the purchase order response message should update the purchase order in your ERP system.

Please collect all your AirSupply related questions and clarify them in the next call with your SupplyOn Consultant.

Supplier Rollout

SupplyOn's Rollout Cockpit (ROC) is designed to support you in your supplier connection project and is part of the ‘SupplyOn Lifecycle Management’ (SLM).

What is the Rollout Cockpit (ROC) from SupplyOn?

The ROC is a tool with which you can connect your suppliers to your company or, as we say, "roll them out" for a specific SupplyOn Service. 

"Rollout" summarizes the entire process from uploading your supplier data into SupplyOn System, invitation to registration to supplier activation.
