Issue
There are a number of separate EDI setups that process Invoices.
To have multiple EDI systems to track monitor and maintain does carry a cost. Can these disparate systems be consolidated into one system for simplification of maintenance?
The systems that are used and the stream that uses them are
| System | use | Replace/Retain/Retire | Stream |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elemica | Used for Accounts Payable Invoices but also used by LES for non Invoicing EDI such as VMI. O2C for receiving customer sales orders, sending out sales order confirmations / responses and customer invoices as well as integration for customer e-invoicing through Tungsten. So removing Elemica would be a multi-screen decision | Retain | S2P |

Background & Context
Assumptions
Constraints
Impacts
From sales process perspective, Syensqo currently send a number of major customers e-invoices via Elemica to Tungsten. (Route = SAP invoice > Webmethods > Elemica > Tungsten > Customer.) Examples here are P&G, Mondelez & Unilever. Elemica hold the contract the for this process and therefore, any changes to the EDI provider needs to take both the contract and EDI connection into consideration.
