K2K Procurement for Customers
Overview
Buyer Companies connected through K2K with other companies will be able to automatically transfer their product needs. This article explains how this process works for them.
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 from a Buyer Multilocation Company called Demo Multilocation, specifically, from the Bakersfield Location integrated with a Vendor Company called Demo Grower.
A purchase need arise, so a Purchase Order must be created (either from a Prebook or from a Standalone PO). In any case, the Purchase Orders must have the Vendor which you are integrated.
We go to Purchase Orders>>PO Summary and we search for the Purchase Orders we want to transfer. Then we go to the Actions button and click on Transfer Orders.
We wait a couple of seconds until all the orders are transferred to the Vendor Company. A confirmation check should appear in the Comments column.
The process is almost done. Once the Vendor Company fulfills this requirement and confirms the invoice generated for us, the products will appear on the Staging Area with a temporary AWB (according with the order date). Once the product arrives, we will be able to scan the boxes since the shipping labels of the Vendor Company will serve as inventory labels for us.
Information
If you want your products to automatically be confirmed from the Staging Area, please contact us so we can activate a setting. The product must be associated to a Prebook ship via warehouse.
The system will use box dimensions set up in the Vendor Company for products sold through K2K.
In case you want the system to transfer the Lot number and vendor code of the transferred products from the Vendor Company to your Inventory, please contact us so we can activate a setting. This information will appear by hovering the cursor over the Ref# field.
We select the Arrival Date of our products and the real AWB number. Once we do this, the product will be ready to be invoiced and shipped to the final customer.

Orders Shipped Directly from the Vendor Company
If the Prebook created and later transferred to the Vendor Company as a PO is farm direct (Ship Via Grower), the system will autoconfirm the products from your Staging Area, also, the carrier will be transferred from your company to the vendor company provided that it has been mapped from both companies.
The system allows you (with previous agreement with your Vendor Company) to activate an option named Bill To Final Customer. When this option is enabled, prebooks and POs marked as Ship Via Grower (farm direct) will be transferred and billed in the Vendor Company for the final customer instead of the Buyer Company. In case you want to have this option enabled, please contact us.
K2K Settings
Buyer Companies have the possibility of activating a setting to make the prices of K2K products equal to their landed cost.
