Supply Collaboration overview

The Supply Collaboration application enables the aggregation, routing and tracking of planned orders and purchase orders in an extended enterprise environment with multiple divisions and complex supplier networks.

The Supply Collaboration application incorporates varying business rules by division, supplier, partners, etc. that impact how purchase orders are to be allocated, tracked and managed. It enables role-based visibility to all purchase order information, and acts as a central purchase order repository for purchase orders generated from multiple different purchasing systems or locations, even if they are external. It can be tightly linked to the Global Inventory Visibility application to provide visibility to expected inventory that is inbound, on purchase, or planned (scheduled).
