Digitalisation of Purchase Order transmissions
We’re taking the next steps on our digital transformation journey with our suppliers, where our goal is to achieve contactless digital interaction. Equinor will issue transaction data in a standard digital format to enable suppliers to be able to use the data to automate processes and systems in their own organisations.
Our Business-to-Business (B2B) architecture
How to receive purchase orders
In line with our digital Business-to-Business (B2B) strategy, Equinor will issue transaction data in a standard digital format to facilitate suppliers being able to use the data to automate processes and systems in their own organisations.
The current Equinor system of issuing purchase orders on paper or in PDF/eMail format will therefore cease with staggered roll-out from Q4 2020. Some exceptions may be applicable. Notifications to suppliers will be published on the Supplier section of Equinor.com as each area becomes ready for transition.
The digital system for receiving Purchase Orders will be as follows:
The following specific information is for suppliers collecting purchase orders from Equinor’s supplier portal hosted by Eye-Share:
When the first PO arrives in the portal, you will receive a welcome email informing you that there is a first PO transaction to collect in the portal. The email is based on information registered in our vendor master. You will receive instructions for the first access log-on to the portal.
Once you have logged on you can administer your account in the portal. Here you can indicate who is to receive notifications when POs arrive in the portal and you can add users who should have access to retrieve POs.
You are also expected to return an Order Response. The portal is also configured to facilitate conversion of PO into invoice (PO-flip) for those suppliers wishing to submit EHF/Peppol formatted invoices through this channel.
