Source To Pay Transactions

As part of our Business Transformation initiative, 3M is introducing eCommerce Supplier Collaboration tools that will enable electronic trading relationships with our suppliers. These tools will enable suppliers to view documents electronically.

• Purchase Orders – view, download or interface directly into a supplier’s ERP system
• Purchase Order Acknowledgements – confirm and correct details of purchase orders
  (Required within 2 business days of the PO being sent)
• Advanced Shipment Notices – confirm details of shipment quantities, dates, information
  (Required 24 hours prior to shipment, time permitting, i.e., PO was delivered more than 24 hours prior to shipment)
• Invoices – send electronic invoices (where legal and regulatory supported)
• On-line Catalogues

The benefits to 3M and our suppliers will be:

• Real-time communication and visibility of purchasing data
• Reduction in paper, manual data processing and lost paperwork
• Early identification and correction of errors in purchasing data
• Reduction in receiving and invoice match exception errors
• Improved data processing accuracy and efficiency
• Enable invoices to be paid on time.

We have four different tools that enable the electronic delivery and exchange of purchase orders, purchase order acknowledgements, advanced shipment notices and invoices between 3M and our suppliers. The appropriate tool will be determined based on type of activity and volumes. Suppliers will be approached by the 3M Regional eCommerce Team, as appropriate. We look forward to your support of our Business Transformation.
