This articles intention is to have an understanding of the steps needed when implementing iDistributor.
1. Startup meeting
Meeting with stakeholders from the customers IT department, knowledge about the ERP-system and EHS responsible (knowledge of the products to be distributed). The intent for the meeting is to get an understanding of the logic and the implementation process.
Responsible: Intersolia
2a. Collecting products
Customer must send in a list of the products to Intersolia so we can collect safety data sheets. The list shall contain own article number, product name, supplier and suppliers article number.
Responsible: customer
2b. Matching products
Intersolia will match the products to our existing database or create new ones. Older safety data sheets and ones we don´t have will be requested from the suppliers.
Responsible: Intersolia
2c. Adding products to the system
When matching products are done we will help you to add them in bulk to iDistributor with your own article number.
Responsible: Intersolia
3a. Adapting ERP-system
Customer must make small changes in the ERP-system depending on their environment, settings and own preferences. Usual topics that must be considered:
Is products marked as chemicals in the ERP-system?
Which e-mail adress shall we extract?
Decide which unique identification to be used as” recipient id”.
Decide which unique identification to be used as” delivery id”.
