Supplier FAQs

No, you can only confirm a PO once. If you need to make changes after the purchase order is confirmed, please contact the buyer.

Suppliers may edit the following fields during the self-confirmation process:

• Manufacturer item ID

• Vendor item number

• UPC Code

• Quantity ordered

• Price

• Delivery date

To confirm a PO:
Step 1 – Click to open the main menu and choose PO Confirmation
Step 2 – Identify a location – click the drop-down arrow in the Limit PO by Location field
Step 3 – Choose your PO number – click the drop-down arrow in the Select Purchase Order field
Step 4 – Click submit. ZEUS loads the purchase order and opens the confirmation screen for editing
Step 5 – Confirm or edit the manufacturer’s item ID, vendor item number, UPC code, quantity ordered, price and delivery date
Step 6 – Confirm the individual PO lines by checking the Confirm box at the right end of each line
Step 7 – Click the Confirm button to submit the confirmed lines and exit back to the home page OR click the Select Another PO button to confirm the current lines and move on to the next PO to confirm.

You have two options. Do the mathematical calculation and change the price to match the invoice quantity and unit price OR contact SDI’s buyer who is authorized to change the unit of measure on existing purchase orders.

Once a PO is confirmed, it drops off the PO Confirmation list. If you need to view the PO again, use the PO Status function and type in the PO number. You will be able to see the PO confirmation and ASN status.

Step 1 – Click to open the main menu and choose Advanced Shipping Notice
Step 2 – Enter a PO number OR choose a location and choose a PO from the drop-down list
Step 3 – Fill in the following fields:

• Packing Slip / Invoice No. – if available
• Quantity – NOTE: Quantity shipped cannot exceed quantity ordered
• Tracking # – Enter applicable tracking number – if using own truck, enter “own truck”
• Ship Via – NOTE: If you choose Common as the shipper, you must enter the trucking company name in the Common Carrier field
• Ship Date – Date material was shipped; click the calendar icon to choose a date from the calendar

Step 4 – Once you have all the required information entered, click the Submit to exit back to the home page OR Select Another PO, to submit the current PO and open the next PO in the ASN queue. The PO will disappear from the drop-down list when there is an Advanced Shipping Notice for each PO line

Step 2 – Enter a PO number OR choose a location and choose a PO from the drop-down list
Step 3 – Click the Submit button
Step 4 – Update the following fields:

• Invoice date – click the calendar icon to choose a date from the calendar. The invoice date cannot be in the past (earlier than today’s date). Don’t submit an invoice that is already late via the Supplier Portal!

• Invoice amount (this must equal the total amount of the voucher).

Step 5 – Click submit

ZEUS creates a voucher entry confirmation page. You can print this page for your records.

If the PO matches your invoice exactly, enter the invoice number, date, amount and click submit.

Your invoice is now submitted for payment.

Yes. ZEUS displays the PO lines available for payment and will be on the voucher entry page.

To edit a line, click the word edit (right end of the line). That opens the Current Invoice QTY and Unit Invoice Price fields for editing. Make your changes to the quantity and/or price and click update.

ZEUS allows you to edit quantities and pricing. You may also remove PO lines that won’t appear in your current invoice. Click the word remove for those lines and submit. You can submit an invoice when the backordered items ship.

When performing voucher entry on the portal, you can enter invoices as much as six (6) months before today’s date.

Step 1 – Click on the Add Line button
Step 2 – A down arrow appears in the Item Description field. Click it and choose a charge type from the drop-down menu

Step 5 – Click the Submit button

If an item’s unit invoice price is different from the PO price, please contact the SDI’s Call Center at (888) 435-7734 for help.

If the total miscellaneous charges are greater than allowed, special approval is required from the SDI buyer. Additional charges and higher prices must have the buyer’s approval and may require them to update the purchase order.
