What can this service achieve?

Inventory information can be shared between buyers and suppliers.
This service provides support for delivery adjustment by issuing alerts for problems such as delayed deliveries.

  • This service provides support for delivery adjustment by sharing inventory information (such as requirements planning, backorders, available-to-promise, arrival of goods, inspection, and inventory) in a chronical order between buyers and suppliers.
    This service can reduce the work hours needed to adjust delivery dates by reducing inquiries from suppliers and by providing highly accurate available-to-promise information.
  • Users are notified of problems, such as an excess or shortage of inventory or a delayed delivery, via an alert or a message in window.
    Alerts related to excesses or shortages of inventory can be shared by defining inventory standard values (minimum and maximum amounts) for each item.

Responses to delivery plans can be made in three stages (the requirements-planning, preorder, and confirmed-order stages) to handle changes to supply-and-demand information.

  • Supply and demand information, which changes on a daily basis, can be adjusted in three stages (the requirements-planning, preorder, and confirmed-order stages) from the upstream processes.
    The buyer’s plan, scheduled purchases, and the supplier’s available-to-promise information are displayed in a list, which allows the user to check inventory changes for each item.
  • The supplier can determine the available-to-promise date for the requirements planning stage (forecast), so arrangements can be made before a firm order is received.
    After that, changes to supply and demand information are shared between the buyer and supplier, thereby reducing follow-up work related to supply and demand adjustment.

Available-to-promise dates and inventory information are shared in real time.
Information sharing can be further enhanced through linkage with the Web-EDI service.

  • Available-to-promise dates and inventory information are shared among departments and companies in real time, thereby reducing the need to answer phone calls and emails.
    The supplier replies to the buyer’s requests (in the available-to-promise window), and the reply information and inventory information is shown in the window for displaying requirements, backorders, and payments.
  • The same user ID that is used for the Web-EDI service can be used for this service, and the business environment for collaboration among companies is provided on the same portal site.
    Users can call the Web-EDI Global service from the list of backorders to view the most recent order information.
