2 2 What is EDI? EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange EDI is the electronic exchange of business data using a published standardized format Partners must agree on the format specifications to be used when exchanging business documents EDI is intended to be a computer-to-computer exchange EDI enables efficient, accurate, and paperless business flows

3 3 How Does EDI Work? Standard electronic business documents are communicated from an organization’s computer, through translation software, then to an electronic post office, which is called a Value Added Network (VAN) The documents are then distributed by the VAN to all the necessary trading partners Trading partners receive the documents to process through translation into their computer applications

8 8 Benefits of EDI Timeliness is increased Data can be exchanged 24 hours a day, 7 days a week No delay due to physical mailing time Customer service is improved Electronic processes meet customer mandates and maintain competitiveness Data throughput time decreases to meet costumer needs Bottom line costs are reduced Data accuracy improves when manual process are eliminated Resources formerly spent reconciling variances and entering data can be used to add value

12 12 DELFOR Delivery Forecast Planning schedule with release capability Sent by the customer, Cummins Materials/production forecast by part number May include firm order, planned, and immediate requirements Full schedule replacement will be sent no less than once per week Additionally, net change schedule for a part number may be sent daily

13 13 DELFOR Benefits Allows direct download of delivery forecast data into supplier’s MRP system Conveys Cummins material requirements in a timely and accurate manner

14 14 DESADV Despatch Advice Advanced Ship Notice Sent by the supplier Contains list of contents in a specific shipment All DESADVs must be received before the arrival of the material at the Cummins plant DESADV should be sent within 30 minutes of departure from the supplier dock Shipment identification (SID) number must be clearly marked on all packing list documents The SID number cannot be repeated within a 12 month period The purchase order number and part numbers on the DESADV must match the purchase order

15 15 DESADV Benefits Allows direct download of advanced shipment data into Cummins inventory receiving system Reduces inventory discrepancies, material shortages, and time spent correcting manual errors Provides receiving and materials personnel with visibility of inbound shipments and reduces orders to expedite Avoids time and effort needed to sort through non-standard packing slips to match receiving documentation

16 16 INVOIC Invoice Invoice Sent by the supplier Allows direct load of invoice to Cummins accounts payable system to increase accuracy and reduce manual effort Purchase order number and part numbers must match the purchase order The EDI invoice must contain identical data when compared to the invoice of record in the supplier’s invoicing and accounts receivable systems

17 17 INVOIC Benefits Eliminates the risk of an invoice being lost or detained due to traditional mail routing Reduces the costs associated with manually processing invoices 10 full time analysts are needed to process/resolve issues associated with an average monthly volume of 35,000 supplier invoices in Southern Indiana alone Allows an automated reconciliation process Improves data accuracy

18 18 APERAK Application Error and Acknowledgment Notification of error in DESADV or INVOIC Sent by the customer, Cummins Automatically notifies supplier of a data content error in an EDI document and that the document was not accepted into the customer’s system Supplier is required to correct the error and resend the corrected EDI document

19 19 APERAK Benefits Eliminates reconciliation errors within systems Notifies suppliers of inconsistent or incorrect data Supports Cummins’ common approach/best practices and requires no manual intervention at the plant Saves time and effort by eliminating the need for materials planners/schedulers or finance managers to follow up with suppliers due to simple data errors Average time for materials planners/schedulers to resolve each receiving error ranges from 60-90 minutes
