SNC FAQ’s

• Will the SNC tool take the place of EDI?

– No. All suppliers who are capable of EDI will be encouraged to use EDI since EDI integrates with their system.

• What about suppliers who supply to more than one Sauer-Danfoss location?

– SNC is a global solution. Suppliers who deliver to more than one S-D location will get requirements for all locations through this tool.

• Will suppliers be allowed to continue to use Supplier Central?

– No. When North America rolls out, a plan to migrate all current users of Supplier Central will be put in place. Supplier Central will cease to exist.

• Is there a cost for suppliers to use the tool?

– At this time Sauer-Danfoss does not plan to pass the cost on to the supplier.

• Does my supplier need special equipment to use the tool?

– Suppliers will need a computer with access to the internet.
– For downloading they will also need Microsoft excel.

• How will suppliers be trained?

– Please follow this link to our e-learning training page.

• Will I be able to see forecast information?

– Yes, the Order Forecast Monitior will display forecast information.

• Will all orders be shown on SNC?

– Only orders for direct material purchases that have a material number will be shown. If we place orders for special projects, those will not be communicated through the tool, and you will not be able to complete an ASN.

• Are ASN's mandatory?

– Yes, ASN's are mandatory for shipments to all Sauer-Danfoss locations for all orders shown through the SNC tool. If you do not provide an ASN or the quality on the ASN differs from the goods receipt quantity, the product will be put on hold and payment may be delayed.

• How often do I need to look at the SNC tool?

– We suggest you look at the tool on a regular basis, but not less than twice per week. It is the responsibility of the supplier to monitor frequently enough to ensure orders are not delayed.
