2 Process Overview
Supper Self Service is a solution that helps to connect Suppler electronically
with their Customer and improves the exchange of business documents and
shortening the time it takes to process the content of these documentsns.
Using SUS, suppliers do not need their own systems to supply goods and
services, but have direct Internet access to the purchaser's procurement
system via a Web browser. By this means, they are able to rapidly react to
order functions received from the host. In SUS system suppler can view
Purchase Order which is received from customer SRM (EBP) system. For
these Purchase order supplier can send a response by accepting or rejecting
purchase order items and can send confirmation of goods or services on
requested delivered date. Supplier Purchase order response and subsequent
confirmation is updated in Customers SRM system for acceptance. Supplier
can also send their invoices from SUS system for a Purchase order or
confirmation to Customer SRM system.
