AN ITALIAN COMPANY – FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
STANDARDISATION OF THE PRODUCT CODES BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS SUPPLIERS
An important company has chosen ReCheck to extract and standardise the product codes included in the transport documents and other ones.
Needs:
- Extract the product codes contained in the transport documents that arrive from its suppliers and transcode them to the format the company used, automatically. The different coding systems used in different companies and the lack of a standard for the transport documents – unstructured and different for each company – imposed a manual transcoding and human control activity. It was a very complex task to manage during the products arrival, with a very limited time of acceptance is required.
- Extract data from account payable and relate them, automatically, with already available information, as price lists or contracts, to verify the correspondence. This control was carried out by employees with manual activity.
Solution:
Employees use ReCheck to extract the product codes from the transport documents of the suppliers and automatically put them in relation with the product codes used in the company, already saved in the Relational Tables (feature of the software). The system uses Web Services to check the data of the ERP. Moreover, ReCheck verifies that the quantities are in line with those of the purchase order. The software detects the anomalies and give appropriate warnings to the operator. Using ReCheck, the company has improved and sped up the process of detection of incoming goods and the management of warehouse loading movements too. Furthermore, their managers decided to use ReCheck to extract the data of the accounts payable and to compare them with already available price lists and existing contracts. The Relational Tables of the software store this data and this feature verifies the congruence of unit prices. This is a full automatic control made by the software.
