Intel is transitioning to the Ariba Network* to provide a more efficient, easy-to-use collaboration platform for its inbound supply chain. Transacting electronically on the Ariba Network will soon be a standard part of doing business with Intel.
This new platform will allow many of our suppliers to move away from paper-based and manually transmitted purchase orders and invoices currently associated with our Intel system, WebSuite.
Intel will be migrating suppliers to the Ariba Network over the next year. Intel will begin the onboarding process for each supplier, by sending a Project Notification Letter (see a sample PNL) with instructions about how to register on the Ariba Network and connect to Intel. Until you receive that Project Notification Letter, continue to use WebSuite on https://supplier.intel.com.
How Onboarding Works
Intel started working with suppliers to transition to the Ariba Network beginning in 2017.
Enterprise Account
Standard Account
Operating in Multiple Systems During Transition
Rule #1: Transact on POs where you view them.
Handling Purchase Orders (POs) During the Transition
Purchase Orders
- During the transition period, POs are likely to be generated in multiple systems
- Intel's WebPO will list all POs to ensure no orders are missed
- WebPO will indicate which POs must be viewed in the Ariba Network, and will provide a link to navigate to the Ariba Network to view and transact those orders
- POs created before you onboard onto the Ariba Network will remain in WebPO and should continue to be transacted on WebPO
- It is important to monitor both the Ariba Network and WebPO during the transition
- You should transact POs in the system where you can view the PO details
- You will get different email notifications based on the system where the PO was generated
Transacting on Purchase Orders (POs) During the Transition
Advance Shipping Notices (ASNs)
- Intel has not yet enabled ASN submission in the Ariba Network (a notice will be sent to onboarded suppliers when ASN submission is enabled)
- If you normally submit ASNs should continue to do so on WebASN
Invoices
- Orders should be invoiced in the system where you can view the PO details
Tracking Invoice and Payment Status
- Invoice and payment status can be tracked in the system where the invoice was submitted
