Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is typically implemented by medium to large suppliers. Through EDI, electronic documents and business data is transferred from Mead Johnson to your company without human intervention (our SAP system talks directly to your SAP system).

The primary application of Mead Johnson's EDI will be the distribution of purchase orders, purchase order acceptance, purchase order changes, invoicing and invoice rejections. By utilizing EDI, suppliers:

• Improve data accuracy
• Reduce technical complexity by using standardized data formats
• Reduce the need for paper transactions
• Accelerate information exchange within order processing

For suppliers with existing EDI capability, Mead Johnson will use EDI ANSI X12 version 4030.

The Supplier Portal is the new electronic portal where suppliers conduct business with Mead Johnson electronically. This web-based application integrates suppliers with Mead Johnson procurement to provide full processing capabilities for goods and service orders.

Suppliers using the Supplier Portal do not need their own SAP-based sales systems to offer products and services – all they need is the internet (Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher) in order to access Mead Johnson's order and content management functionality. The Supplier Portal will allow suppliers to:

• Sign in using their registered profile
• Add additional users to your company profile
• Receive new and modified purchase orders
• Create purchase order acknowledgements
• Create ASN (for goods) or enter service confirmations (for service POs)
• Submit invoice/credit documents
• Review payment status

Companies that either have a lower volume of transactions or are not using EDI or the Suppliers Portal can take advantage of the new Email Option. Using the Email Option, suppliers can receive new and modified purchase orders via email. The Email Option will allow suppliers to:

• Receive purchase order document in PDF format via email
• Email paper invoice to Mead Johnson
• Use email as a temporary solution when other systems such as EDI or the Supplier Portal they typically use are not available

Mead Johnson procurement will use eSourcing to facilitate electronic Bidding and electronic Contract Negotiations. Open to all suppliers, eSourcing requires access to email and the Internet. Through eSourcing, suppliers can:

• Receive and respond to electronic RFI, RFP, RFQ
• Participate in online auctions
• Access and collaborate on MJN contracts (including version control through a checkout/check-in process)
