Overview

Vendor Companies connected through K2K with other companies will be able to automate the process of fulfilling purchase needs. This article explains how this process works for them.

If you want the system to transfer the Lot number and vendor code of the transferred products to the Buyer Company, please contact us so we can activate a setting. This information will appear in the Ref# field of the Buyer Company inventory.

Mapping Process

Mapping your carriers, box types, categories, and products allows Komet to apply a universal naming convention when it presents information to the other stakeholders in the K2K Network.  This will improve the flow of information and avoid confusion with your K2K Connections. Read Carriers Mapping, Box Types Mapping, and Categories Mapping for more information.



Instructions

The following process will be carried out by a Vendor Company called Demo Grower, which will be integrated with the Bakersfield Location of a Buyer Company called Demo Multilocation.

The first step of the process has been carried out for the buyer company, which has transferred a purchase need to your system.

  1. Once the order is transferred to your system, the system will automatically create a Prebook for the Buyer Company to which you are integrated. Go to Prebooks & SOs>Prebook Summary and then search for the Prebooks created. To find a Prebook created through K2K integration, you can search by customer name, Truck Date, or for the Purchase Order # created on your customers' system (from the Buyer Company).

    The system will transfer the carrier from the Buyer to the Vendor Company for prebooks marked as ship via grower in the Buyer Company.
    Info: The system will transfer UPC information (when it has been added from the Buyer Company) to Prebooks created in your company through K2K so you won't have to reenter this information. Img. 1

  2. Once you have identified the product need your customer has, the next step will be to fulfill that requirement. If you do not have the product, you can proceed to create the PO as usual. If you already have the required product, you can allocate that Prebook through the different Allocation options. In this case, you can proceed to Fill From Open Market the Prebook from the Bulk Purchasing Mode. Img. 2

  3. The process is almost done. You just have to confirm the created order and proceed with the Shipping Process. Once you confirm the order, the system will transfer the products to the staging area of the buyer company. The Shipping Labels will serve the Buyer Company as Receiving Labels. Img. 3
