A) The Replace DELFOR means a complete regeneration of the previous document. You must set your system to completely delete the previous DELFOR data and load the new DELFOR data in your business application. Cummins does not send zero quantities in the DELFOR. If you do not fully replace the DELFOR, old requirements could get left behind in your planning system.
The Change DELFOR is a change in the schedule for a specific part number. Your system must update the schedule for that part number with the new schedule.
A) No. Do not allow your system to auto firm planning/forecast data from the DELFOR message.
A) Firm orders contain the delivery date of goods requested by a Cummins plant. Firm orders must be shipped against and will not change once the schedule has moved from planned to firm without agreement between the plant and the supplier.
Note: The supplier must calculate the in transit time in order to calculate when the shipment must leave the supplier's docks and arrive at Cummins plant by the expected delivery date in the DELFOR.
Planned orders are for planning purposes only and may change in the schedule.
Note: Suppliers must not ship against planned orders as they have not been validated as a firm schedule.
Immediate orders are orders considered past due by a Cummins plant. If questions arise on an immediate order, contact the Cummins plant immediately.
Note: Supplier must ship the goods if they haven't already done so.
General Reminder: Ship to the firm and build to the plan…
A) Yes, the shipment must arrive to the plant on the date indicated.
A) If a delivery is early or late, it will affect performance. Please contact the plant if you have specific questions.
A) The date the message was sent.
A) The date for the end of the planning horizon.
A) Year To Date received quantity by part number.
A) Yes, it should be based on what the planner has setup with the supplier. If this is not adequate, you must contact purchasing.
A) In some instances, Cummins is initiating the supplier identification format in the name and address segment of your DELFOR. For certain plant system implementations this will include your Oracle Supplier number + location name + location code (Example, 123456COLUMBUS00).
A) Many of Cummins locations utilize different application systems. These application systems determine the format of the supplier number and will require that your system be updated with the format for that plant.
A) While the EDIFACT standard will allow for a maximum of 35 characters, it is the Cummins applications that will only allow a maximum of 12 characters in the DESADV shipment ID field.
A) No, Cummins does not recognize the "5" = replace message. If you send bad data, you must contact the plant to let them know that DESADV contains invalid data and that you will be sending a new document.
A) No, an APERAK means that the DESADV has not been received in our systems and there is no need to change your DESADV shipment ID, UNLESS the APERAK message specifically states that the shipment ID was a duplicate.
A) SCAC stands for Standard Carrier Alpha Code, and the list of codes that Cummins uses can be found on this site Cummins EDI Implementation Guidelines.
Note: SMI suppliers and those shipping consolidated through CEVA must use CEVV as the SCAC code.
A) You can use the ASN number for the invoice number, but it must be unique for all time; not just the twelve month limit on an ASN/SID number.
A) Cummins prefers the invoice number. Whatever you use, it must be clearly marked on the paper document that accompanies the shipment.
Note: The invoice number on the EDI transaction must match the invoice number in the supplier's financial system.
A) This is the European standard spelling and meaning.
A) You will receive a RECADV message indicating that the quantity shipped wasn't what the plant was expecting. Contact the plant to clarify the issue.
A) The last 9 digits are what are needed for UPS to track the box(es) if provided by carrier; if not, whatever you would use to track a missing shipment.
A) Bill of lading number.
A) Enter the name of the transport company in the first field, select the carrier type, and fill in both the SCAC code and the transport company again in the Carrier Name field. You can then use the bill of lading that will be used to track the shipment in your system.
A) No, for drop shipments the parts are not going to the Cummins receiving location, thus, a DESADV is not necessary.
A) This will be provided in your corresponding DELFOR in the Name and Address segment for supplier.
A) This will be provided in your corresponding DELFOR in the Location segment under each part number.
A) The Cummins location DUNS will be transmitted in your corresponding DELFOR message. There is a list of location DUNS numbers that Cummins uses on this site Cummins EDI Implementation Guidelines.
A) Until Accounts Payable instructs you otherwise, you must send paper invoices. Testing will require at least 3 production invoices to be sent electronically and via paper to Accounts Payable.
Note: International shipments may require a paper invoice for custom purposes regardless of EDI invoicing capability.
A) Cummins Business Services (CBS) handles a large percentage, but not all of our company's payables. All invoices for shipments to Cummins US locations may be sent via EDI to receiver ID 006415160, qualifier 1. Invoices for shipments to Cummins UK locations must be sent via EDI to receiver ID 217480354, qualifier 1. Invoices for shipments to Cummins Mexico locations must be sent via EDI to receiver ID 932707235, qualifier 1.

- For IBM Transaction Manager – Web Forms INVOIC/invoicing: SUPPLIER EDI Onboarding Training Manual for Supplier (External)_v1.0 - IBM TM
Invoices designated for other Cummins bill-to addresses should remain paper-based at this time.
A) No, credits should be sent as a paper document to the billing address on the Purchase Order.
A) No, invoice numbers for a Cummins supplier code must be unique. Subsequent invoices with identical invoice numbers will error out of the payables process, generating an APERAK.
A) Contact the regional Accounts Payable support center. An analyst will determine if the original can be deleted from the Cummins system so a corrected invoice can be resent and loaded, or if a credit/debit memo will be needed.
Note: Be sure to use the original invoice number. Do not append characters to the original invoice number or create a new number.
A) In some cases, the Cummins purchase order number is sent on schedules or orders with a '-XXX' following the PO number to indicate the receiving location. The '-XXX' is not part of the PO number and should not be sent on the invoice. (Example, 950000-CIC, CIC is not part of the PO number).
A) At this time, our system does not reconcile the specific receipt or ship notice to the invoice but for all direct materials the quantity invoiced must show as received within our system before the invoice will release for payment.
A) Freight should not be included on your invoice to Cummins. All freight arrangements should be made through our 3rd party logistics provider according to Cummins supplier shipping instructions.
Applicable special charges other than freight may be added to the invoice at the summary level if approved.
Note: The addition of special charges might cause your invoice to require manual intervention by an AP analyst.
A) Suppliers using traditional EDI to send invoices may request an acknowledgement (CONTRL) message to be returned upon receipt of the electronic invoice. The CONTRL message confirms that Cummins has received the EDI invoice but does not confirm the validity of the invoice data. The supplier should configure their system to automatically reconcile the CONTRL message to the outbound invoices and report exceptions when outbound messages are not reconciled. Most commercial EDI translation packages have this capability built in.
A) Contact the regional Accounts Payable support center to determine if the invoice was received but is held in error correction. An invoice could be held in error correction due to various reasons including but not limited to: lack of receipts, problem with sum of line items balancing to invoice total, invalid part number, or invalid purchase order number. If the invoice is in error correction, the AP analyst will determine if the invoice will be manually corrected or if it will be deleted for you to send a corrected copy.
A) Since an electronic invoice goes through several processes, there are a series of points that should be validated.
- Verify that the invoice was sent.
- Traditional EDI can be validated by first checking your EDI translator's sent message archive then following up with your Value Added Network (VAN) to confirm that the data was sent. If your VAN confirms that the data was sent and you are using a VAN other than Sterling Commerce, request the mailbag id number.
- Sterling Web Form users should check their Outbox to confirm that the invoice was sent.
Contact the regional Accounts Payable support center to determine if the invoice was received but is held in error correction.
- Request Cummins technical assistance to track the electronic invoice.
- Contact Cummins ECommerce help desk at 812-377-3441. Provide the following information: Cummins vendor code, your EDI sender id, invoice number, date of transmission, name of VAN, and mailbag id for the missing transmission.
A) EFT payments are received in your bank account within 1 banking day after Cummins authorizes payment. A paper check requires approximately 4 days after payment authorization to reach the supplier. An additional benefit is the cost for processing an EFT payment is significantly less than costs incurred by Cummins and the supplier to process paper checks. Lastly, EFT eliminates the risk of payment being lost or detained due to mail routing issues.
A) There are two options for receiving remittance details electronically.
- ACH-CTX. Remittance detail accompanies the EFT payment through the bank clearing house and is received by the supplier's bank. It is the supplier's responsibility to work with their bank to make arrangements to receive the remittance detail electronically or manually.
- Mail. Receive a remittance detail report in the mail. The time delay is approximately 4 days between receiving the EFT payment and the mailed remittance detail.
A)In some cases, invoices authorized for payment prior to setting up the EFT profile may be paid by check. If you continue to receive check payments 4 weeks after submitting the EFT profile to Cummins, please contact the regional Cummins Accounts Payable support center.
A) Steps to follow up will depend on which electronic option you chose on the EFT profile.
- ACH-CTX: Contact your bank to request the detail.
- Mail: contact the regional Cummins Accounts Payable support center.

A) The Advanced Shipping Notice (also known as the DESADV which stands for Despatch Advice) is a document sent by the you, as a Supplier, indicating which items and how many of each item you are shipping to Cummins.
A) The ASN Folder will display different statuses of ASN submissions.
- ASN – Create ASN: This feature is for creating an ASN without a turnaround document. This will be discussed in detail in the tutorial for standalone documents.
- ASN - Errors: This folder contains ASNs that have been rejected. If there are any errors in the submitted ASNs, Cummins will move them to the Errors folder. You can edit these ASNs to correct the reason for rejection and resubmit them to Cummins from this folder.
- ASN - Saved: This folder contains ASNs that the Supplier began to create but have yet to be sent.
- ASN - Sent: This folder contains ASNs that the Supplier has sent.
- ASN - History: This folder contains ASNs of which the corresponding Delivery Schedules that have been moved to history. Most of the Delivery Schedules will be moved to history once they are fully invoiced. There is an exception for Delivery Schedules that belong to the paper only invoice workflow. These will be moved to history after ASNs are sent for them without waiting for invoice
A) An ASN is created from the Delivery Schedules. Navigate to the Delivery Schedule - Inbox Folder, to start creating an ASN.
- When you click on Create ASN, Web Forms will take you to an intermediary page where you select the Ship To location and the items to be shipped. You can also update the Qty to Ship. Once the items have been selected, click Continue.
- Please note that the Ship To location will be concatenated with the receiving location. So, if there is a delivery schedule with multiple receiving locations, the items corresponding to different receiving locations will have to be sent separately using different ASNs
- Next, Web Forms will take you to the ASN Page. The Shipment ID # is mandatory and must be entered by the supplier.
- Under the Shipping Information, the red asterisk fields are mandatory and must be filled in
- Under the Order Information, the line item you previously selected will be listed.
- Avail: The ‘Qty to Ship’ value selected by the supplier in the ASN Selection page. Quantity: Enter the total quantity included in the shipment.
- The quantity could be decreased or increased as required. Over shipment will result in a warning message when trying to send the ASN. Confirming this message will send the ASN.
- UOM: The Unit of Measurement for this item. This is prepopulated from the Delivery Schedule.
- Under the Shipping Information, the red asterisk fields are mandatory and must be filled in
A) After completing the Shipping Information, scroll down the page to view the Line Items. In this section, the Quantity field is open for editing if you are not planning on shipping the entire quantity on this shipment or if you are planning to ship more than the requested quantity. You must also fill in the Country of Origin. Pull Signal # is an optional field and can be filled if needed.
- For non-engine shipments, Serial # is an optional field. But for engine shipments, at least one Serial # should be entered for each item.
- To add Serial #, click on the ‘Add’ button next to Serial #. You can add multiple serial numbers if you want. To do so, enter the number of serial numbers you wish to enter in the Qty box next to Serial # and click Add
- The Package Information section is for entering the packaging details. By default, the entire quantity will be added to a Carton. This can be edited if you want.
- Splitting quantities, if you wish to split the total quantity among different packages, click Add in the Package Information and enter the desired values for the fields. The total of all the packages’ Shipping Quantity per Package should be equal to the Quantity value of the item.
- Also to be noted: The red X button to delete Package Information rows will appear only if there are more than one rows. This is because at least one row of Package Information is mandatory.
- Decreasing the quantity of an item will result in partial shipment. Any items that have not been included in an ASN will not be shipped and therefore will be required to be shipped on a subsequent ASN. In this situation, the corresponding delivery schedule will be considered as partially shipped. Increasing or decreasing quantities will be discussed in detail in the next sub-section.
- You have the option to either “Cancel” and discard all progress made on this ASN, “Save as Incomplete” and place the incomplete ASN in the ASN Saved folder, or you can click “Send” to send the ASN as is.
A) When the quantity of a delivery schedule is increased over the scheduled quantity in an ASN, this is considered as over shipping. Over shipped schedule items will not be displayed when the supplier tries to send another ASN for the Delivery Schedule by clicking Create ASN.
- If the quantity of a delivery schedule is decreased, then the remaining quantity will be displayed as the Qty to Ship the next time when the supplier tries to send another ASN for the Delivery Schedule by clicking Create ASN. The already shipped quantity will be displayed as Prev. Shipped
