The use of stock movement transactions (in particular for consignment arrangements) and self-billing
invoice procedures should be agreed specific to location.
On specific request of BOSCH, SUPPLIER must use forwarding advice (transport advice), while using
WebEDI.
For VMI and eKANBAN EDI based interfaces are available as well and can be installed plant specific.
1.2.5 Consistency of Automated Processing
Ordering and stock information communicated to SUPPLIER by classical EDI should be imported into
SUPPLIER’s IT-system without need of further data entry or additional editing.
The goal is fully automated integration into SUPPLIER’s production planning system (PPS). This
includes, for example, breakdown into parts lists, automatic generation and forwarding of purchase
orders to subcontractors, and integration into capacity planning and production control processes.
The consistency of the system must be ensured throughout the planning, production and shipping
process.
Communication between the systems must be regularly monitored to assure correct and complete
transfer of data.
1.2.6 ASN / Label Printing / Shipping Documents
SUPPLIER shall transmit an ASN via EDI/ WebEDI system or VMI order monitor at the same time that
the shipping documents are generated.
Shipping documents/ labels are generated in SUPPLIER’S own shipping system according to the
following standards.

A. Europe VDA
B. North America AIAG
C. South America RND (ASN) and VDA (labels)

E. Australia EDIFACT, ANSI QSP0703-906 (Internal procedure)
F. Asia Standards to be defined with according BOSCH customer plant – except for

If SUPPLIER uses SupplyOn WebEDI, it may generate the shipping documents with this tool.
The information used for labelling purposes should be taken from the EDI release/ demand
information sent.
