Go beyond EDI – e21Connect® facilitates seamless electronic communication with suppliers for purchases, shipments, invoices, and documents.
E21 Connect is the E21 ERP vendor portal and is part of E21’s suite of offerings as a full-service EDI VAN provider. E21 Connect enables seamless, electronic communication between suppliers, allowing manufacturers and distributors to streamline their entire procure-to-pay process.
When vendors do not have the technological ability to communicate via EDI, the E21 Connect ERP vendor portal allows suppliers to view, download, and acknowledge purchase orders in one central location. When shipping a purchase order, the supplier can simply record quantities being shipped against the purchase order from the portal. Then, this information is transmitted back to E21 via an EDI ASN transaction. Most importantly, purchasing and planning staff are notified if shipment quantities vary from purchase order quantities. The new amounts expected are factored into the E21 ERP MRP software functions. Following shipping, the supplier can submit invoices through the portal, immediately notifying AP personnel.
While the system enables smarter electronic communication with suppliers for the procure-to-pay process, E21 Connect is much more than an EDI vendor portal. E21 Connect also enables suppliers to notify buyers of new items, promotions, and discount opportunities.
In addition, to streamline manufacturers’ and distributors’ supplier approval programs, the E21 Connect ERP vendor portal allows suppliers to upload any required documents that must be in place. From insurance certificates to certificates of analysis (COAs) and other quality certification documents, E21 Connect leverages the E21 ERP document management solution to attach documents uploaded through the vendor portal to the necessary records in the E21 system. This feature helps your team ensure that all required documents are in place to continue conducting business with the supplier.
