Why and when do suppliers confirm shipment despatch for Purchase Orders?
For approved Purchase Orders, the supplier is obliged to
1) commit to the item quantities called off and their extected delivery dates. This process is detailed here,
and in some cases*
2) confirm shipment despatch (from supplier warehouse or directly from site of manufacture)
This page describes the process for supplier shipment despatch confirmation which is an important element for SkylogistiX to proactively detect possible delays in receiving the goods.
Shipments to hand-over points
When a supplier shipment is destined to a handover-point rather than the final warehouse location, the supplier shipment confirmation is required for the handover-point to be notified about the expected receipt.
These transit locations allow for cost-efficiency in the supply chain.
When planning consolidated shipments from a handover point to the final destination warehouse, it is vital to timely count on reliable information regarding expected receipts.
Supplier invoicing prior to goods arrival at final destination
Some Purchase Order delivery terms (eg ex works) authorise the supplier to raise his invoice upon despatch.
In these scenarios the suppliers shipment despatch confirmation is required for SkylogistiX to timely process the suppliers invoice for payment.
The suppliers shipment confirmation is therefore key to well streamlined complex supply chains and for the suppliers timely payment.
