Wave 5 Deployment Slide2
Policy Letter sent to Suppliers
Dear Valued Supplier,
Adopting a Transportation Management System (TMS) to control costs and manage our transportation lanes more effectively in today's fast-changing environment is a natural next step in Supply Chain Management. To take us to the next level, we've integrated a web-based shipping application called xCarrier into our Honeywell Aerospace standard Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that is currently running SAP Software.
xCarrier will allow Honeywell to better manage our inbound freight costs and provide real-time visibility to supplier shipments using Advanced Ship Notices (ASN). All required documentation, including SPOC239 label, carrier label will be printed out of the xCarrier system.
Initial implementation of our xCarrier system begins with suppliers to our Phoenix Engines facility. This deployment in June will be followed by a series of deployment waves through the end of the year for our other sites.
xCarrier will become the standard method that suppliers will use to ship to Honeywell. Existing Honeywell carrier account numbers will be deactivated after an initial deployment grace period. All inbound Honeywell funded shipments will be required to be sent though the xCarrier system.
Currently, not all Honeywell Aerospace sites are up on SAP. Consequently, those sites not running SAP are not able to use xCarrier functionality at this time. A complete list of Honeywell sites currently not in scope for xCarrier shipments will be communicated by our TMS team to all suppliers.
We know this requirement will require internal process changes in your organization, therefore we will be providing training. The TMS team has already contacted suppliers to Phoenix Engines and completed preliminary training. Additional training sessions will be scheduled. Training Material is being finalized and will be distributed to all suppliers.
Our Buyers and Supplier Development Engineers are aware of these changes but if you have questions, please contact the TMS team first at their team mailbox:

Your help and cooperation in this effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,

ESIS ASN to xCarrier ASN Transition Slide19
Supplier Tasks:
IF an ESIS ASN has been issued/created prior to xCarrier Go-Live
IF materials have shipped against the ESIS ASN, no action is required. Simply proceed to process the next lot utilizing xCarrier.
IF materials have not shipped, notify Buyer to delete the Inbound delivery (ASN) generated via ESIS before processing in xCarrier
Buyer will advise when the Inbound Delivery ESIS ASN has been deleted, then proceed to utilize xCarrier for ASN & air waybill creation.
A robust communication process should exist at the supplier to communicate ASN creation failures to the buyer.
Buyer Tasks:
IF an ESIS ASN has been created @ time of Go-Live
Upon supplier request for ESIS ASN deletion, proceed to VL32N and delete the SAP Inbound Delivery (see next slide for deletion process)
Advise Supplier when task is complete and instruct them to utilize xCarrier to generate a new ASN
IF materials have shipped against the ESIS ASN, NO actions required, Receiving will receive materials against that inbound delivery and supplier will simply proceed to generate the next ASN via xCarrier.
IF supplier reports an ASN failure, review current ASN’s in the PO CONFIRMATION TAB.

PO & Conf Control Key –
Manual IBD Creation due to MIGO Error
A New PO from a Supplier who will be utilizing
xCarrier
will have a special Confirmation Control Key (CC Key) – The normal CC Key is the 0007, in order for
xCarrier
functionality to work properly & SAP inbound deliveries to properly link to the PO, the Z013 CC Key must be used.
Updates to the vendor master & IF required the PIR, the below CC key will be the default key.Slide22

PO & Conf Control Key –
Manual IBD Creation due to MIGO Error
Below & to the right is an example of an error
msg
the Receiving Dock would encounter if they attempt to process a receipt in MIGO against a PO requiring an inbound delivery, when one has not been created.
IF this error occurs, review of the PO is required, 1
st
validating the confirmation tab of the PO, specifically the CC Key. IF Z013, then an inbound delivery must be created.

In order to create an inbound delivery, proceed to transaction VL31N.
Here you will simply need the vendor # & the Purchase order, then hit Enter.Slide26
PO & Conf Control Key –
Manual IBD Creation due to MIGO Error
IF the PO contains multiple LI’s, select the LI’s within the IBD that are not required, then hit the ‘Delete Item(s)’ icon at the bottom of the page.
Don’t forget to
adj
the qty to the received qty if needed. Then hit save
Once within the IBD, prior to saving, the qty that appears represents the PO open qty – this will need to be changed to match the qty received, if a change is not required simply save
Prior to hitting Save, the delivery create Overview should look like this, now you are ready to save.Slide27
Deleting a SAP Inbound Delivery (ASN)
Within the VL32N transaction for that particular Inbound delivery, simply click the trash can… this will delete the delivery & allow the supplier to view total PO requirements in
xCarrier
Proceed to VL32N, input the Inbound delivery number, and ENTER
Capture the Inbound delivery from the applicable PO, located @ the item level in the “Confirmation” tabSlide28

FAQ’s
XCarrier – SAP InterfaceSlide32
ASN Review – PO Confirmation Tab
The ‘Delivery Date’ in the Confirmation tab is determined by the estimated transit time, at the time of shipment from the supplier (entered by supplier based on mod), plus the date of ASN creation – which gives a true on dock estimate.
Delivery date calculation does not include date of delivery creation or weekendsSlide33
ASN Review – MD04
The ‘Delivery Date’ or On Dock Date will be reflected in MD04; providing Planning with an improved vision to the estimated arrival of in-transit material
