Suppliers will receive orders from ABOUT YOU via Direct Connection, as a notification directly in the Coupa Supplier Portal or via e-mail in the future. You will find an explanation of the ordering methods on this page.

Direct Connection (CXML)
CXML (Commerce eXtensible Markup Language) is a protocol for exchanging data and provides a direct link between our and our suppliers' ERP systems. This enables the automatic and electronic exchange of order data.
This connection option is recommended for suppliers with a high transaction volume of more than 100 orders per week, as it requires a high implementation effort.
Suppliers who would like to receive orders from ABOUT YOU in this way are welcome to contact [email protected] for further information.

Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP)
The Coupa Supplier Portal, short CSP, offers a comfortable and user-friendly access to all orders for suppliers. A one-time registration is necessary, for which we will send an invitation link to our suppliers. The registration is not necessary if you already use the CSP with other customers.
In the CSP, master data can be maintained, order confirmations can be created and catalogs can be easily uploaded and updated.
We recommend choosing this option if more than one order is placed by us per week and/or transactions are processed via a catalog.
All suppliers will receive an invitation link to the Coupa Supplier Portal from ABOUT YOU by e-mail, under which they can register.

Supplier Actionable Notification (SAN)
The transmission of our Purchase Order via SAN is the standard way, where suppliers receive the purchase orders by e-mail. The information embedded in the email subsequently enables online order confirmation as well as direct access to the Coupa platform (without prior login).
To implement this order type, ABOUT YOU only needs the email address of the supplier to which our Purchase Orders should be sent.
No further steps are necessary to receive orders from ABOUT YOU in this way. Orders will automatically be sent to the email address we have in our system, unless one of the other options is used.
