What’s New – Order Management Comparison of GSCP and the New SCP-Raytheon November 2013
Orders – What’s the Same A discrete order includes specific item(s) or service(s) to be purchased, with the request dates (‘MRP Need Date’) and quantities represented in the order.

Supplier Actions for Discrete Orders A new order is loaded into SCP-RTN in a New state, with all of its line items in a New state. The supplier can change a New 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) Supplier Rejected – Supplier does not want to fulfill the order request (i.e. a bad part number) Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Buyer/System Actions for Discrete Orders The buyer can change an order to these states by sending a change order to SCP-RTN: Cancelled – Buyer wants to cancel a schedule line or entire discrete order Closed – Buyer wants to close a schedule line or entire discrete order Updated – buyer has made a change other than cancel or close Schedule lines move to an Archived state when they have been in a ‘Cancelled’, ‘Closed’ or ‘Rejected’ state for more than 60 days. A supplier cannot create advance ship notices (ASNs) or invoices against schedule lines in these states: Cancelled Closed Rejected Archived Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Basic Order Process – Key Features Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Simple PO - Discrete Order Details Page Orders (at the header level) remain in a ‘New’ state for original orders and an ‘Updated’ state for change orders, until all order lines have a supplier response. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
(Optional) Mark Order as ‘In Process’ If you have multiple SCP users at your company that ‘share’ orders, each user has the option to mark an order as ‘In Process’ so other users know the order is being worked on. ‘In Process’ can be selected from the list page or details page. You can use a search to find ‘New’ or ‘Updated’ orders that are not ‘In Process’ yet. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
(Optional) Locate ‘In Process’ Orders ‘In Process’ is not a state change to a PO schedule line, and therefore it is not on the My Workspace page. To locate which orders have been marked as ‘In Process’ (or the ones not marked yet), go to the Search page. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
(Optional) Print Order The ‘Full Print’ version has been modified with an improved layout. The ‘Summary Print’ version now includes the supplier response and other key data to process an order. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential

My Workspace Now we are back on My Workspace, note that the Order lines in New state has decreased by 1, and the lines in Accepted state has increased by 1. This reflects what we just did. We will click on the New Total again and proceed to reject the next order. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Accept an Order Schedule Line Purchase Order 4 In order to accept a Purchase order, click the relevant box or boxes, and click the Accept button. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Response Is Sent to Buyer Automatically There is no longer a ‘Send’ button An order response will be sent to the buyer automatically when the HEADER state moves to ‘Accepted’, ‘Acknowledged with Exceptions’ or ‘Supplier Rejected’ The header state only changes when all of the lines have been processed out of a ‘New’ or ‘Updated’ state Accepted Purchase Orders Note that now we have accepted all the lines in a purchase order, the state has changed at the line level and the header level. If you do not accept all lines on a purchase order, the Order state will take the lower value. We will now go back to My Workspace to look at rejecting a Purchase Order. To do this we would click My Workspace on the Navigation Tree. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Status Update on My Workspace Now we are back on My Workspace, note that the Order lines in New state has decreased by 1, and the lines in Accepted state has increased by 1. This reflects what we just did. We will click on the New Total again and proceed to reject the next order. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Batch Processing – Accept Orders A supplier with many routine orders can select most of them from a list, ‘batch accept’ them and then address the orders that require more attention. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Supplier Message – Required If Cannot ‘Accept’ This used to be called ‘Note to Buyer’ and serves the same purpose. The ‘Supplier Message’ field is required for any schedule line that is not accepted. The maximum character limit is 255. Supplier Message To add a supplier message, scroll down to the bottom of the header section and click Create where you see Supplier Message. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Acknowledge with Exceptions – Split Quantity I have accessed the final order for this training. As before I have hidden the Navigation Tree. This time I have scrolled along to highlight the Requested and Promised quantity, as well as the Promised Deliver Date. The requested deliver date is the same as for the last order. Don’t forget that you will need a Supplier Message. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Acknowledge with Exceptions – Add Promises Split Quantity 2 Note that I have checked the box for the line, and next I’m going to click the yellow Add Promises button. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Example – Add Promise to Split Quantity On the next screen, you will need to indicate how many rows that you want to add (each row is for one date-quantity pair). Check the first box and then scroll to the right. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Example – Add Promise to Split Quantity Enter the date and quantity combinations that you want to propose back to the buyer and then click Save. Note that the total quantity promised should not exceed the desired quantity of the buyer. In this case, our two proposed deliveries of 5 each match the 10 that the buyer wants. Once you press Save, you will be asked to confirm your choice and then receive a message stating that the changes have been made. The combined promise quantities must equal the request quantity. Promise Dates must be current or future dates. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
‘Acknowledge with Exceptions’ with Two Promises Split Quantity 5 We can now see that there are two lines, which reflect your two proposed deliveries. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Request Qty and Promise Qty If the ‘Request Qty’ and the ‘Promise Qty’ for a schedule line do not match, you will receive an error message. Split Quantity 5 We can now see that there are two lines, which reflect your two proposed deliveries. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
‘Early Shipment’ Flag on Order Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Early Shipments – When Acceptable The ‘Early Shipment’ flag (ESF) helps to decide if ‘Promise Delivery Date’ requires the Acknowledged with Exceptions state or the Accepted state. If ESF flag = ‘Yes’: use Accepted if delivery is any number of days earlier, or up to seven days later, than ‘MRP Need Date’. If ESF flag = ‘No’: use Accepted if your promise date is within seven days earlier or seven days later than ‘MRP Need Date’. If no ESF flag: any date other than the exact ‘MRP Need Date’ requires the Acknowledged with Exceptions state. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
‘Accept’ Button Is Missing… For orders, ‘Accept’ is an end state. Once a line is accepted, it cannot be accepted again by the supplier. If one or more schedule lines already moved to ‘Accepted’, the Accept action button is not available when the Accepted lines are still displayed. To accept more schedule lines, use the filter to only display ‘New’ or ‘Updated’ lines. Then the ‘Accept’ button will be available for use. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Order Response – Downloaded to Buyer An order is only sent to Raytheon when all of the schedule lines have moved from the New and Updated states (See the Order’s header state). The ‘Downloaded to Buyer’ indicator will show you if an order is completed (all lines processed) Once an order has all of the lines processed, SCP will send it to Raytheon. SCP checks every two hours for orders that are ready to send. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Order Response – Downloaded to Buyer Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Purchase Order Changes Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Purchase Order Changes If you responded to a PO with ‘Acknowledge with Exceptions’, the buyer will receive your response automatically and be able to review it If your exceptions are agreeable to the buyer, a PO Change (POC) should be issued by the buyer A POC may also be issued for a business change to an order, or to correct an error on the order You can respond to a POC with ‘Accept’, ‘Reject’ or ‘Acknowledge with Exceptions’ Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
‘Supplier Response’ Indicator It is possible for the buyer to send one or more POCs to an order before you have responded to the order (See ‘Line Change’ flag). You will always see the latest information on the purchase order. The ‘Supplier Responded’ flag is ‘No’ until you respond to the PO. This helps to identify PO’s that had no response yet, even though a change was added by the buyer. If you HAVE responded to the order, your responses to the PO are retained. You then have the option to update against your own response (and based on the changes on the POC). Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
‘Acknowledge All POCs’ Since there can be multiple revisions (POCs) sent by the buyer before you have responded, you will need to acknowledge all POCs in your response. This is done by clicking on the ‘Acknowledge All POCs’ confirmation button. IMPORTANT! You will NOT see the action buttons for a PO until you click the ‘Acknowledge all POCs’ button. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Purchase Order Changes On the My Workspace screen and in the Order Summary box, you can find any order changes in the ‘Updated’ status row. By clicking on the 4, we will see the 4 order schedule lines that have been moved to an Updated state. Depending on how the buyer sends their PO changes, you could see only some rows from an order that have been changed (or put into the Updated state). Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Purchase Order Changes In this example, you will see that there are 2 lines but only one checkbox. This is because there are two delivery schedules associated with the one line. This POC has been created based on the previous example where we split one line into two promises. We can drill down into the detail as before by clicking on the Order number. Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
Purchase Order Changes - Highlighting Note that the changed requested quantity is now highlighted yellow to indicate what has changed. The promise quantity has now been defaulted to match the change so we can just Accept this POC if the new dates are still relevant. Highlighting applies for ‘Request Qty’, ‘MRP Need Date’ and ‘Unit Price’ Copyright 2012 Exostar LLC. All Rights Reserved. Proprietary and Confidential
