Largest Automobile Manufacturer – India – Supplier Portal
Business Scenario and Challenge
 The customer is India’s largest automotive manufacturer in passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
 The customer has thousands of suppliers. The customer has implemented SAP SRM for its strategic vendors (top 500
vendors) to collaborate on forecasts, orders, schedules, GR, invoices and payments.
 For the other vendors, the customer wants to implement a Supplier Portal since SAP SRM licensing is too expensive to
justify a SAP SRM access to all suppliers.
Our Solution
 Our team has implemented a SAP NetWeaver based Supplier Collaboration Portal for the non-strategic vendors.
 These vendors have usually 1 transaction per month.
 The SAP based Supplier Portal provides the capabilities for Supplier Self Service; the supplier can download their PO,
upload shipment notification, download GR, upload Invoices and check the payment status of invoices.
 The Portal allows a vendor to have multiple user accounts for their various departments. The Vendor administrator can
update their master data related to Tax ID, address, email, phone numbers etc.
Benefits to the customer
 The Supplier Collaboration Portal has provided tremendous benefits related to Supplier satisfaction and visibility of their
interaction with the customer.
 The customer call center has reduced number of phone calls from vendors asking for payment status of their invoices.
 The customer is getting higher data quality since the data is being validated in the SAP Portal (due to integration to SAP
ECC).
