The purpose of this letter is to inform you of Donaldson Thailand plans to transition to a global
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. You may hear this initiative referred to as the COMPASS Project.
This year Donaldson will begin to transition its Thailand to the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Oracle Release 12 (RI 2). The transition will be done in a phased approach, with multiple Donaldson locations transitioning in each phase.
Donaldson Thailand is in the third phase for this transition and will be moved to Oracle R12 in August 2016.
Donaldson's transition to Oracle R 12 will enable us to interact with our global supply base as one customer. As a supplier, you will realize improved communication, as well as efficiencies in the
exchange of information related to orders, shipments and payments.
As a result of the forthcoming transition to Oracle RI 2, suppliers will see these changes:
Format of purchase orders (POs) will be adjusted: o New PO numbering system
o PO document provided in English only o PO will reference to Terms & Conditions printed after the end of PO
The new PO layout will show the ship date instead of the request.
Electronic communication via iSupplier Portal for select suppliers o Portal allows for online communication of purchase orders, change requests, and shipments
Additional communication will be provided in August 2016 which will include purchase order (PO) cross reference between the current ERP system and Oracle R 12. Also, for the suppliers that will be invited to utilize iSupplier Portal, training will be provided.
