Questions and Answers: Transition to
SAP Business Software

1. BY WHEN DO ORDERS NEED TO BE PLACED?

In principle, you can place your orders under the usual terms and conditions. Wherever possible, we will continue to apply the standard delivery lead times.

In the period leading up to the go-live and shortly thereafter, this may differ. We will inform you in more detail about this in January. Our advice is to place your orders in a timely manner.

2. CAN YOU CONTINUE TO DELIVER AROUND THE TRANSITION?

Our highest priority is to ensure that you experience as little inconvenience as possible during this transition. That is why we are making additional preparations. In line with customer demand, we are building up inventories of fast-moving buckets and lids, and we are also taking additional measures at customer level to safeguard continuity of supply.

3. WILL MY CUSTOMER DATA, ITEM CODES OR PRICES CHANGE DUE TO THE TRANSITION TO SAP?

Your customer data, item codes, and prices will in principle remain unchanged. Our new SAP system supports the same data structure as our current system, so no changes are required in your own administration. Customers who are not currently working with item numbers will be assigned an item number by us. If you notice any discrepancies from February onwards, or if you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to contact us.

4. WHAT DOES THE TRANSITION TO SAP MEAN FOR COMMUNICATION ABOUT MY ORDERS (ORDER CONFIRMATIONS, DELIVERY NOTES, INVOICES)?

At this moment, we are testing documents generated from SAP. Our aim is to continue providing the same documents during and after the transition as you are accustomed to receiving. The layout may change slightly, as the documents will be generated from our new system, but the content and information will remain the same.

BRCGS is a standard for food safety. The standard describes the hygiene and food safety requirements for food processing companies that supply directly to the retail sector. You can also think of packaging materials for foodstuffs.

FSSC 22000

The FSSC 22000 Standard has been created through Stichting Certificatie Voedselveiligheid (SCV). As a food-oriented version of the ISO 22000 Standard, this certification programme has been set up as a global guideline in food safety and quality within various industries. This standard is aimed at the entire production chain and as such, it is ideally suited for international harmonisation, partly thanks to the recognition by the GFSI. In addition to its connection with ISO 22000, the FSSC 22000 has many comparisons with the HACCP criteria, making it an attractive variant with the best of both worlds from these programmes. Thanks to the internationally accepted nature of the FSSC and the chain-wide approach within this certification programme, we recognise a strong food safety management system in this standard.
