Benefits of EDI for Suppliers

  • EDI enabled suppliers enjoy a privileged position at Daikin Europe N.V.
  • Information exchange is interactive and can be better integrated 
  • Quality of messaging is improved
  • Administrative work is reduced as data is inputted only once
  • Master data is correct

The introduction of Full EDI between Daikin Europe N.V. and its suppliers has been split into a number of phases. This diagram provides an overview of how we see the future use of EDI. Phases 1 to 3 are already executed. Phase 4 (Invoices) is not yet planned.

WEB-EDI

WEB-EDI is an ‘additional’ method to the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) method that is used in material procurement. 

Web-EDI is a cost-saving way for suppliers to enter into competition in the supplier market. Internet technology makes it possible for suppliers to access information in a customer’s system and to enter shipping notifications, without time delay.

However, this web-application will not completely replace the current electronic exchange of EDI.

WEB EDI features

  • View all delivery schedules and releases
  • View all purchase orders and release
  • Download and print all releases
  • Open Due List
  • Create an Advanced Shipping Notification with packing information
  • Create packing specifications for packing
  • Print all ASN's
  • Print all labels (in Odette format)
