11 Procurement Transformation Key Challenges Lack of Visibility into Enterprise Spend Insufficient Insight into Supplier Performance Inability to Detect Purchasing Inefficiencies in Time to Correct Them Time Wasted Gathering Data to Report and Manage Quan22es sourced from different suppliers Prices by supplier and pricing trends Inability to get the best prices Missed opportuni2es to consolidate buying On- 2me delivery of goods to support opera2ons Billing accuracy of suppliers and error types Quality of delivered goods including rejec2ons and returns Price performance of strategic partner suppliers Lack of compliance with contract prices and use of exis2ng contracts to reduce spend Timely processing and fulfillment of requisi2ons and purchase orders Con2nued reliance on management- by- spreadsheet Disparate sales repor2ng and poor internal distribu2on Relevant data in mul2ple systems financial, proc, etc. No single source of the truth 11

12 Procurement Transformation Primary Requirements Optimize procurement process Standardize business policies & processes Drive costs down Company-wide access to real time, accurate data Automate manual, time-consuming processes Provide company-wide reporting and analysis through use of dash-boards and KPIs Timely access to key business information (costs, spend categories, vendor efficiency) Leverage mobile devices to optimize field access to JDE (approvals, receiving, etc.) Visibility to inventory across the enterprise Manage change throughout business for greater user adoption Standardize supplier item catalogs to simplify purchasing Contract compliance Standardize Vendor and Item Master files 12

13 Procurement Transformation Key Questions to Answer What are the roles and responsibilities of the people in the process? Do the roles and responsibilities align with the people's goals and objectives? What are the service-level agreements with the business for these processes? What type of visibility is required that will ensure accountability? What approval processes are necessary to ensure accuracy Where are the bottlenecks within the process? How often are there errors with the process that cause additional time to correct? Am I utilizing my vendors correctly? What percentage of orders can be sent electronically? Are invoices scans capturing a high percentage of key data attributes? Is technology enabling a more efficient processes? 13

14 Procurement Transformation Objectives In Summary Increase Process Efficiencies Intuitive user interface with flexible controls, direct connect option & self-service fulfillment tracking Company Spending Policy Adherence Commodity structure, special request feature and approval workflow supports company spending policies Procurement Cost Reduction End-to-end automated purchasing, process automation and control 14

15 Requisition / PO Entry Options to Consider Users can avoid manually entering purchase orders (using the standard PO Entry application - P4310) by having the system create new purchase orders based on existing detail line information. Creating purchase orders from existing detail lines is the final procedure for several different JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement system programs, including: Purchase Order Workbench (Power form) Generate Purchase Orders from Requisitions Requisition Self Service Generate Purchase Orders from Blanket Orders Generate Quotes from Requisitions Purchase Order Generator Other Options: Upload from Excel 3rd party Integration 15

16 Supplier Master Maintenance The system processes an order based on the items that the customer purchases and the supplier from whom the customer makes the purchases. Can define purchasing instructions for a supplier so that each time you enter an order, the system retrieves default values for that supplier Can specify the items that you purchase from a supplier to create supplier and item relationships Can enter information such as whether the suppler is certified to see the item. If a supplier is not certified to sell an item, the system does not let you enter the item on a purchase order for the supplier Can review information about the quality of a supplier's services, including delivery performance and the condition of items upon receipt. 16

20 Item Master Data Information Standards Many companies are able to benefit from utilization of E1 item master in order to standardize key attributes for more structured reporting Segmentation by item branch to create further segmentation of attributes Use of category codes for enhanced reporting capabilities Ability to integrate cost and pricing information Ability to track location and lot information to achieve lowest level of analysis Possible to utilize in order to track inventory quantities Utilization of DMAAI functionality to automate G/L accounting entries Good to utilize for non-item specific needs, such as freight or specific surcharges 20

21 Supplier Item Price Catalogs Overview By creating Supplier Catalogs, you will have the flexibility to organize products into different catalogs due to seasonal changes in products, different product lines, and so forth. If you maintain items in catalogs in the JD Edwards system, you can use the catalogs to locate and select items to order. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne supply management applications help you: Optimize supplier relationships, for both direct and indirect goods and services, resulting in a more flexible and adaptable supply chain With real-time information exchange with suppliers and proactive process alert capabilities, you can: Reinforce procurement best practices, implement lean procurement processes, aggregate spend for improved purchasing power, and develop strategic relationships with your supply base 21

22 Supplier Self Service Overview JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Supplier Self Service improves supplier collaboration by allowing suppliers to securely access quotes and POs, view inventory information, and update their own profiles. Supplier Self Service provides supplier ability to log in and validate their items and their current status based on buyer feedback Suppliers can access quotes and purchase orders, view inventory information, and update their own profiles Suppliers can notify you when shipments are in transit and view accounts payable Real-time visibility into supplier performance issues for the fastest resolution and improved service Proactive process alerts allow suppliers to respond more quickly to replenishment signals such as supplier release. 22

23 Requisition Self-Service Overview JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Requisition Self Service puts requisitioning tasks in the hands of employees With it, employees can create, manage, and track their own orders, while ensuring that purchasing policies, preferred suppliers, and pricing agreements are followed Key Aspects: Respond more efficiently to customer demand Respond rapidly to supply chain interruptions with exception management alerts Reduce material costs by directing your spend to key suppliers Improve inventory turns while maintaining or increasing customer satisfaction Reduce off-contract purchases 23
