Communication setup

System Integration has defined ‚preferred‘ ways how external partners should connect with Electrolux. Our preferrence is following the sequence below. See the document ‚SI Connectivity guide‘ below for details. Email is not a preferred way of communication.

Preferred communication ways are:– AS2 (safe and secure transmission via internet, free of charge)– SFTP via SSH (secure FTP transmission via internet, free of charge)– X.25 (safe and secure call by call communication via phone lines, cheap)– X.400 (safe and secure transmission via WAN, less expensive)– GXS Mailbox (safe and secure transmission via WAN, expensive)

Supplier Messages Overview

Electrolux exchanges 3 standard messages with suppliers:

– DELFOR D91.1 (outgoing Calloff and Forecast messages)

– DESADV D91.1 (incoming delivery notification)

– INVOIC D94B (incoming for goods- and service invoices)

For suppliers not capable of EDIFACT messages a flat file layout is defined as well. In future Electrolux will offer a Web solution for supplier connection (Web-EDI) that will also allow smaller suppliers without any technical infrastructure to join the electronic handling of messages.
