Business Process Purchase Order: Buyers publish firm orders to their suppliers. PO Responses: Based on published orders, Suppliers must provide responses – which are confirmations (promise dates & quantities) against the requests. Suppliers may accept orders, recommend changes, or reject the orders. Purchase Order Changes: Buyers may publish changes or cancellations to previously published orders. Suppliers are expected to respond back to these as well. PO Changes or Cancellations 3 PO 1 Buyer Supplier PO/POC Response 2 Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.

Roles of Buyers and Suppliers
Buyers and Suppliers can search, view and print a PO/POC Only Suppliers can take action on a PO/POC in SCP. A Buyer must create orders and change orders through their backend systems. Buyer Supplier Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Purchase Orders – Some New Terms
An order can have one or more lines, where each line item represents a different item. Note: A customer’s business process can allow more than one line item to have the same part number. In such cases, SCP looks at their unique Line Item IDs. A line item can have one or more requests, where each request represents a request schedule (a date and quantity). Note: A customer’s business process can allow more than one Request Schedule to have the same date. In such cases, SCP looks at their unique Request Schedule IDs. Order Line Item Header Request Promise A supplier may respond to each order request with one or more promises, where each promise represents a confirmation from the Supplier. In case a Supplier cannot meet the entire request quantity on the same date, the Supplier can create multiple promises against the same request. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.

Purchase Order - Example
The Purchase Order Details page has a header section at the top and line item information at the bottom Some of the header and line item fields can be edited by a supplier Header Line Items Visible only to a Supplier Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Order Attachments POs in SCP can have documents attached by a Buyer (not a Supplier). A paperclip icon shows there is an attachment to a PO. The number of attachments is shown in parenthesis next to the icon. Attachments: Can exist at the header or line item level Can be accessed from the Order List page or the Order Details page Cannot be accessed independent of the order Are not exported/downloaded as a part of the order Are not printed along with the order Attachments can be updated via a POC: If a document coming in with a POC has the same name as a document attached to the order, the existing document will be replaced with the incoming document. If the incoming document has a different name, it will be added to the list of attachments. Attachments once loaded cannot be deleted through a POC. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.

All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Business Process – New POs
When a new Order is loaded into the system it is in a “New” state, with all of its line items in a New state. A new order and all its lines are transitioned to the Processing state when the Supplier does any of the following actions: Navigates to the Order Details page Selects an order to print (or batch print) Selects an order for export (or batch export) Creates an Advance Ship Notice (ASN) Creates an Invoice A B2B response is automatically sent to the Buyer when an order transitions into the Processing state. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Supplier Actions The Supplier can change a New or Processing order to these states: Accepted – Supplier agrees to the complete request from the buyer Acknowledged with Exceptions – Supplier responds with a counter proposal (i.e. a different promise date or quantity) Completed – Supplier has completed the order (must have accepted it first) Rejected – Supplier believes the request is invalid (i.e. a bad part number) The process for how to change a PO’s state is explained later in this presentation.

Completed Orders A Supplier can “complete” an order when appropriate
There is no system requirement to complete a PO – depends on the buyer or supplier’s business processes Completing an order does send a response (notification) back to the buyer Only orders in the ‘Accepted’ state can be moved to the ‘Completed’ state. Even though a PO is in a ‘Completed’ state, it is possible for the buyer to send a POC against it. Completed orders can still have invoices and shipping notices created against them. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Cancelled Orders The buyer's intent to cancel an order or line items is communicated via a change order. Lines in a Cancelled state are displayed in a “strike-through” font. For orders marked as cancelled, the Supplier can perform the following actions: Agree to changes and transition the order to a Cancelled state. Not agree to changes and transition the order to an Acknowledge with Exceptions state. IMPORTANT NOTE! To take action on a POC with canceled lines, only the non-canceled lines can be showing on the screen. Use the Filter feature to only show the non-canceled lines – this will make the Accept, Acknowledge with Exceptions and Reject action buttons appear on the screen.

States for POs and POCs State Operator Definition New Buyer
Buyer has created a PO in backend system New Change Buyer has made a change in backend system Processing Supplier Supplier has viewed the PO in SCP Acknowledge with Exceptions Supplier has viewed and made changes to the PO Accepted PO is being approved “as is” Rejected PO is considered unacceptable “as is” Completed (optional) Supplier indicated the PO is finalized Cancelled Buyer has decided to terminate the order Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

State Priorities The state at the header level of a PO is determined by the line item under it that has the highest priority. Priority of States Example 1 Order State Priority Order 1 Line 1 Processing 3 Line 2 Accepted 5 Line 3 Order 2 Acknowledge with Exceptions 4 Rejected 6 State Priority New 1 New Change 2 Processing 3 Acknowledge with Exceptions 4 Accepted 5 Rejected 6 Completed 7 Canceled 8 Deleted 9 Example 2 Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.

Purchase Order Changes

Purchase Order Changes (POCs)
Buyers can initiate change orders from their internal backend system, after the original PO has been created. This is generally done at the request of the Supplier. When a Purchase Order Change (POC) is loaded into SCP, the order and all of the changed line items are transitioned to a New Change state. “New Change” POCs can be accessed through the My Workspace page or by searching on the New Change status. The original purchase order and any other (earlier) versions of POC’s that were actioned by the supplier can be found in the Historical Document Manager (HDM). When the Supplier views the POC, the system automatically transitions the current PO or POC to the Processing state. Open the POC Details link to see what has been changed (highlighted in yellow) Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Supplier Actions for a POC
The Supplier can change a New Change or Processing order to these states: Accepted – Supplier agrees to the complete request from the buyer Acknowledged with Exceptions – Supplier responds with a counter proposal (i.e. different promise quantity or date), or wants to “push through” to a more recent changed version in the queue without any changes Completed – Supplier completes the order (PO must be in ‘Accepted’ state in order to change to ‘Completed’ state) Note: A PO cannot transition into the Rejected state once a change order has been published by the Buyer. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Supplier Actions for a POC
The Order header will show if any POCs are queued against a PO (A). The Supplier needs to take action on the PO in SCP before the POC can be processed. If a PO is in a New or Processing state, the POC will not process. If there is more than one POC (the number in the queue is >1), then each POC must be actioned in order until the queue is cleared. A Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc. All Rights reserved Proprietary and Confidential

Supplier Actions for a POC (continued)
To get to the latest POC in a queue, the supplier must: View Details on the current PO/POC - to see what is highlighted (changed) Take action on the current PO/POC (Accept, Acknowledge with Exceptions etc.) Send that PO/POC to the buyer The next POC in the queue then becomes available Continue with steps 1 to 3, until there are no more queued POC’s NOTE: Once POC’s are activated, the original PO and earlier versions of POC’s are still available in the Historical Document Manager (HDM) This MUST say “Sent”, not “Viewed” Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.

Once a PO response is sent, a Supplier cannot make changes to that order and the associated lines, until the Buyer publishes a change for the order. Responses are sent in the order that they are created. There will be a processing delay of 60 seconds between two consecutive responses for the same order. Copyright 2011 Exostar LLC and E2open, Inc.
