Faurecia EDI Implementation Steps
Faurecia EDI implementation will be requested by Faurecia or can be initiated by the supplier as well by navigating to Faurecia EDI portal. Find the main steps below.
Step 1 – Faurecia initiates internal request
- Faurecia Buyer/PC&L “Requestor” will initiate a new supplier EDI request via Faurecia internal ticketing system
- Step is mandatory and no request will be processed without an internal ticket
- Supplier should provide the EDI contact for this setup process as it will be needed by the Requestor to open a ticket
- Supplier is to reference the Ticket# for any setup/support issues during the process
Step 2 – EDI Clearing Center sends parameter sheet to vendor
- Supplier will receive EDI parameter sheet from EDI Clearing Center via email
- Supplier fills out all fields required
- Click the “Validate Form & Email to Faurecia EDI Team” button to check that all parameter areas are filled out
- If all sections are “Passed” then you can send the parameter form back to Faurecia
Step 3 & 4 – Receiving EDI Parameter Sheet & Evaluation
- Upon receipt of parameter sheet, it will be validated against the Ticket number
- If form has missing information it will be rejected and sent back to the sender’s email
- If parameter sheet is okay, Faurecia will initiate the next step
Step 5 – Communications setup
- Standard EDI Communications (VAN setups OpenText/GXS/Covisint)
- Faurecia will request a trading partner provided with our VAN
- Supplier should approve the request if needed on their end
- Interconnect setups: Supplier to ensure the interconnect is established between sender/receiver IDs with Faurecia’s VAN
- P2P Connections (AS2/OFTP2)
- AS2 selection is not on an option on the parameter sheet, but if you want to use this protocol please advise when submitting the EDI parameter sheet
- OFTP2 selection is supported in the parameter sheet
- Web EDI Option (Covisint/TX2/E-SupplyWeb-ASIA only) Faurecia Plants in North America are supported by Covisint only
- Faurecia Plants in Europe are supported with TX2 only
- Faurecia Plants in ASIA are supported with E-Supply only
Step 6 – Sending First Test Message(s)
- Faurecia “Requestor” will send a test message against the logistics flows that was authorized
(normally this will be a production message unless otherwise advised) - DELFOR (LISA/NO LISA)
- DELJIT (LISA)
- EDI Clearing center contacts the Vendor via email to advise a first test message was sent
Step 7 – Supplier Acknowledges Test Messages
- Supplier needs to send an email back to EDI Clearing Center advising they have received the test message(s)
- Supplier email subject should reference the Ticket #
- Failure to send a manual acknowledgment via email will stop the on boarding process and will be escalated to the Requestor
Step 8 – Sending Test ASN for Certification
- Supplier is to use the Faurecia’s ASN Compliance Self-Assessment tool, available 24×7
- ASN Check tool will validate the structure, segments and elements are within Faurecia EDI specifications (data quality validation is done once ASN is Compliant, and sent to Production)
- Supplier submits a test ASN via email attachment, and an automatic email will be generated back to the Supplier with the results
- ASN testing must be done until Supplier see’s a result of “COMPLIANT”
- Supplier is highly recommended to test all business cases for ASN types so that future re-certification can be skipped, should the supplier be requested to be on LISA.
