Electronic data interchange (EDI)

Benefits of EDI for Suppliers

EDI offers a solution for fast and error-free communication between the supplier and Daikin Europe N.V.:

  • EDI enabled suppliers enjoy a privileged position at Daikin Europe N.V.
  • Information exchange is interactive and can be better integrated 
  • Quality of messaging is improved
  • Administrative work is reduced as data is inputted only once
  • Master data is correct
  • Suppliers’ existing IT infrastructure is used more productively

Benefits of EDI for Daikin Europe N.V.

In return, Daikin Europe N.V. improves its supply chain flow through a higher level of integration with its suppliers:

  • Improved Hi-cycle production reduces the lead time to one week
  • Re-engineering of business process leads to reduction of workload
  • Fast and accurate information exchange, with no double inputting
  • Greater transparency and traceability in the supply chain

Daikin Europe Full EDI


The introduction of Full EDI between Daikin Europe N.V. and its suppliers has been split into a number of phases. This diagram provides an overview of how we see the future use of EDI. Phases 1 to 3 are already executed. Phase 4 (Invoices) is not yet planned.

  1. Phase 1: Sending Schedule Agreements
    (Delivery Schedules)
    Messages:
    DELFOR (EDIFACT format)
    CSV (DENV format) 
  2. Phase 2: Receiving Shipping Notifications
    (Dispatch Advices)
    Messages: DESADV (EDIFACT format)
    CSV (DENV format) 
  3. Phase 3: Use of Odette transport labels for internal reception process 
  4. Phase 4: E - Invoicing

WEB-EDI

WEB-EDI is an ‘additional’ method to the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) method that is used in material procurement. 

Web-EDI is a cost-saving way for suppliers to enter into competition in the supplier market. Internet technology makes it possible for suppliers to access information in a customer’s system and to enter shipping notifications, without time delay.

However, this web-application will not completely replace the current electronic exchange of EDI.

WEB EDI features

  • View all delivery schedules and releases
  • View all purchase orders and release
  • Download and print all releases
  • Open Due List
  • Create an Advanced Shipping Notification with packing information
  • Create packing specifications for packing
  • Print all ASN's
  • Print all labels (in Odette format)
