The information in this document is the property of Rolls-Royce plc and may not be copied or communicated to a third party, or used for any purpose
other than that for which it is supplied without the express written consent of Rolls-Royce plc.
This information is given in good faith based upon the latest information available to Rolls-Royce plc, no warranty or representation is given
concerning such information, which must not be taken as establishing any contractual or other commitment binding upon Rolls-Royce plc or any of
its subsidiary or associated companies.
IntroductionRolls-Royce is moving towards a Global Organisation and therefore we have
created this training pack to guide you and your team through the opportunities
and changes associated with the Rolls-Royce introduction of Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) into Energy Systems Inc. and the computer system designed to
support it ……SAP
Our new working practices are described in the following document in a format
suitable for presenting to members of your team.
We would also like to offer you the opportunity to participate in a webmeeting,
where we will walk through this documentation. All participants will be able to
ask questions which will be answered by our specialists.
Not all of the described processes / documents are necessarily relevant for your
business (e.g. Delivery Schedules for indirect suppliers) however, we have
created one training pack for all suppliers. Suppliers, with the help of their Rolls-
Royce representative, will be able to determine the future format of their purchase
documentation from Energy Systems Inc.

1. New Organization
Company Code
Rolls-Royce is separated into a number of ‘Company Codes’, e.g. Airlines,
Defence, Energy, RRD and Operation’s. Each company code operates with a
degree of independence. As a Vendor, you may supply the same part number
to more than one company code and therefore you may receive more than one
purchasing document.
Plant
A plant is a subdivision of a company code and is a unit where manufacture or
storage takes place. You will be required to deliver to individual plants and
storage locations within them. If you supply the same part number to more
than one plant, you will receive purchasing documents with multiple line items.
2. New Roles
With the New Organisation comes new roles for Rolls-Royce:
Operational Buyer
The Buyer will be responsible for all of the commercial aspects of procuring components.
MRP Controller (MRPC)
The MRP Controller will be responsible for all of the logistical aspects of procuring components and is the prime point of contact for commitment acceptance for running parts. i.e. Agreeing a ‘doable schedule’ Changes to the delivery schedule are made by agreement between you, the Vendor and MRP Controller.
Product Technical Controller (PTC)
The PTC will be responsible for all of the quality aspects of procured components.
The above Rolls-Royce team working with you will be responsible for the commitment acceptance process.
3. Examples of Rolls-Royce Output Documents
Below are the documents you will be expected to understand. These have been
separated into the likely departments or functions within your business that will deal with
them.

3. Commercial Paperwork
Requests For Quotation (RFQs)
An RFQ is a request for the Vendor to quote against Rolls-Royce requirements.
The document contains the quantity of the material number required, an estimated
requirement date, unit of measure and any other details as required, such as technical
specification details, packaging requirements etc.
Within your quotation, you should provide an accurate Planned Delivery Time which
should cover the ‘first make’ lead-time (including any time required for tooling
manufacture). We will regard this lead-time as your commitment to deliver.
Requests for Information (RFIs)
An RFI is a request for information from the Vendor.
The document contains the same information as an RFQ, e.g. material number,
requirement date, but can also be used to request information using free text.
e.g. request for packaging details etc.
3. Commercial Paperwork
Schedule Agreements
A Schedule Agreement is used primarily to buy MRP materials, (e.g. production
components)
The document defines that the demand for a material will be sourced on a Vendor for a
period of time (e.g. 2 years)
It includes contractual information including the agreed price, commercial terms and
technical requirements. The Schedule Agreement does not authorise delivery.
You will need to acknowledge schedule agreements.
Delivery call-off is defined by the Delivery Schedule (effectively the part 2 of the SA).
Delivery Schedules
The delivery schedule is an instruction to deliver against the schedule agreement. It
defines the quantity, required delivery date into Rolls-Royce and delivery address.
The delivery schedule will reflect both the ‘doable schedule’ negotiated by you and the
Rolls-Royce Procurement team and the planned delivery time you quoted for the first
delivery. Any future changes to this schedule will be negotiated first with the vendor and
then reflected onto the delivery schedule.
3. Commercial PaperworkFramework Orders
A framework order can be used with service providers for the purchase of utilities, such as gas
or electricity, where that commodity can be called off directly by the customer, without the
need to use SAP purchase requisitions.
Contracts
These take on a similar format to schedule agreements. However, they are not used for
standard MRP parts and are not called off using delivery schedules. Instead, a purchase
order is used to communicate requirement dates and quantities, referring back to the contract.
Contracts will be used for C class parts and Operation Offload. C Class is defined as
Consigned Material for Rolls-Royce Energy Systems Inc. Operation Offload is defined as
outsourced manufacturing processes.
Purchase Orders
A Purchase Order in SAP is used primarily to buy non-MRP goods or services, (e.g. special to
product tooling) It may also be used to call-off requirements on contracts (e.g. Operation
Offload).
It includes all information including agreed price, delivery date required, delivery terms, and so
forth.
3. New Information Flow
Schedule Agreements and Delivery Schedules will be the main SAP documents used
to communicate our requests for production requirements.
In general there will be one part number (material) per Schedule Agreement / Delivery
Schedule.
The total requirement for that part number may be split on two or more schedule lines,
these are called “Line items”. Line items flow from Plants. So if you see more than
one line item on a Schedule Agreement, it means that you will need to deliver the
same part number to more that one Plant (i.e. there may be more than one delivery
address).
This means that you will pack each line item separately, label it separately and where
necessary deliver each item to a different address!
3. SAP Purchasing Documents & Number Ranges
The following table identifies the number ranges (pre-fixes) of the purchasing documents detailed
on the previous pages. Vendors should be aware that our Purchasing document references are up
to 10 characters in length. You will also need to reference our Item Number which is 4 characters.

3. Schedule Management
Lead-times in SAP are known as Planned Delivery Times (PDT).
When quoting for Rolls-Royce requirements, the Vendor is asked to provide a
PDT which will represent the time from despatch of the Rolls-Royce purchase
order to delivery.
PDT is the lead-time at which you are able to manage schedule change.
When MRP is run it plans all new requirements at lead-time (PDT). Where
requirements fall outside lead-time the schedule is considered doable. The
PDT is used for creating delivery schedule lines and is your reaction time.
Delivery schedules will be subject to lot sizing rules. A lot size is the delivery
quantity as called-off by Rolls-Royce. It effectively regulates the frequency of
deliveries according to the unit cost of the material.
Deliveries made up to 7 days earlier than the required date will not impact
vendor evaluation, late deliveries will have an adverse effect on evaluation.
3. Schedule Management
= Demand
E.g. Vendor’s Lead Time (PDT) = 4 WeeksE.g. Vendor’s Lead Time (PDT) = 4 Weeks
MRP will always place demand at 20 weeks (‘outside’ of
lead-time) If the Rolls-Royce requirement is earlier than 4
weeks, the MRP Controller and Vendor will negotiate to bring
the delivery forward, this is called ‘Commitment Acceptance’
Planned Delivery Time (PDT)
PDT - 20 Wks

(1 Aug 05)(1 Aug 05)1 Sept 051 Sept 0515 Aug 0515 Aug 05
3. Commitment AcceptanceCommitment acceptance starts when MRP uses the Planned Delivery Time (PDT) to plan the demand and create or change the schedule.
Automatic Commitment Acceptance
It would be impossible to handle all commitment acceptance manually, so a large proportion of this activity is carried out automatically at PDT. You own PDT and the Rolls-Royce Procurement team manage it.
Manual Commitment Acceptance
By exception, where the Rolls-Royce Procurement team request changes within PDT, this will need to be accepted as a commitment by you and will be reflected by a change to the order.
By exception, where, outside PDT, you consider an automatically proposed commitment tobe unachievable, we expect you to contact the Rolls-Royce Procurement team to negotiate a revised commitment. When this is agreed, it will be reflected by a change to the order.
Renegotiating Commitments
If due to exceptional circumstances, you recognise within PDT that you are unable to meet a previously committed date, you must inform the Rolls-Royce Procurement team of the problem and agree new delivery dates immediately. When this is agreed, it will be reflected by a change to the order. This will be regarded as a failure of commitment.
4. What to expect at Go-Live (5th August 05)
Purchasing Changes
When SAP goes live, Schedule Agreements will be created which will replace the
current purchase order format for all production materials. To enable an effective
cross over to the new documents we will reference your old CICS purchase order
number on each schedule agreement in the Item text.
A new Purchase Order format will be used for all indirect, repair and expense type
orders.
Current buyer to vendor assignments may change.
Rolls-Royce require all orders to be acknowledged, please complete the Schedule
Agreement and/or acknowlegement and return to the address provided in a timely
manner.
Delivery Requirements
We expect that the first delivery schedules generated in SAP will be very similar to the
current ones. We only expect minor changes in terms of moving a delivery a couple of
days forward or backward, based on our assembly schedule.
4. What to expect at Go-Live (5th August 05)
Delivery Schedule Distribution
We will be using Faxination to issue our delivery schedules which allows our demand
to be sent directly out of SAP to our Vendors via fax. Therefore it is important to make
sure that your contact information is up to date.
If you are a current supplier to Rolls-Royce plc and are using Exostar to receive your
Delivery Schedules, this will continue after go-live.
Vendor Reference
When Vendors are created in SAP they will be allocated a 6 digit Vendor Code which
will be visible on all purchase documents you receive from Rolls-Royce.
Goods Receiving
Our goods receiving department will have a cross reference table in order to match the
old CICS order numbers with the new SAP order numbers. As from 1st September
onwards, we will not accept any deliveries which do not state the correct purchasing
document information. Such deliveries will be returned at your cost.
4. What to expect at Go-Live (5th August 05)
SABRe Label / Bar Coding Requirements
Optional from June 15th 2005
Mandatory for all deliveries after August 1st 2005.

5. Quality Paperwork
First Article Inspection Reports
First Article Inspection is required on the 1st delivery of every new material, thereafter, inspection reports requirements are as defined by purchasing documents
Quality Notifications
SAP Quality notifications (QNs) are used to record and investigate all non-conformance. There are seven main types of QNs:
Concessions, Complaints, Inspection Rejects, Investigations, Audit and Re-issue Concessions, PIR (3 in 1)
Concession Application
Rolls-Royce expects all products to be delivered to meet Rolls-Royce specifications.In the rare instance when a manufacturing process yields a component that is functionally acceptable but not meeting specifications, the Vendor may request a concession from the PTC. Rolls-Royce will evaluate the Vendor request and if the part is deemed usable, a concession will be granted and the part will be accepted.If the concession is not acceptable the Vendor will be expected to supply product that meets requirements.
5. Quality Paperwork continued ..Returns Note
This document will be used when the non-conformance has been caused by Rolls-Royce. We will only pay for correcting non-conformance at defined rates.
Rejection / Debit Note
This document will be used to reject vendor non-conforming material.
The second part of this document is the debit note, which will advise you of the amount by which your account has been automatically debited. This cost will be shown on the debit part of the reject/debit note.
Problem Improvement Request (3 in 1)
For both Procurement and Internal Manufacturing a new QN type is used, with themain 3 in 1 process being held inside this QN process.
The 48hr containment check sheet and level 1&2 forms can be emailed directly to theVendor to update and email directly back to Rolls-Royce.
In all instances refer to SABRe for further information, using the link SABRe
6. Release Notes / Delivery / Advice Notes
and Bar-coded receipting label
All delivery documentation submitted after August 15th 2005 must now include:
Delivery / Release / Advice note number
Material part number
Plant
Storage location
Purchase document number
Purchase document Item number
The quantity
Serial Number (S) (if applicable)
Refer to SABRe for further information
6. Deliveries to RR
For all information concerning deliveries to Rolls-Royce, please open the following
hyperlink in the Internet:
http://www.suppliermanager-online.com/sabre
Rolls-Royce frequently updates this information, please ensure that your company always
has the latest information available. The next slide gives you a brief overview of what we
expect from our suppliers. However this information shall only illustrate the main topics. It
is vital for a smooth process that you implement all requirements stated in SABRe.
Any mismatches in the barcode format or the information provided on the delivery tag may
result in a delay of goods receipt or in a complete rejection of the delivery. Without having
received a delivery into our systems no payment transactions will be triggered.
You will be required to produce a test-label according to the specifications in SABRe. Based
on the expierience with other suppliers, we see this exercise as very important to avoid any
problems after go-live. Details are provided on the next page.

7. InvoicesAfter August 4th 2005, Invoice payment will be managed by the Rolls-Royce
plc Finance Service Centre in the United Kingdom (with the exception of Rolls-
Royce Pte Limited in Singapore)
The Invoicing address is shown on all Purchasing documents:
FAO Accounts Payable
Rolls-Royce plc
P O Box 31
Derby
DE24 8BJ
United Kingdom
Where Vendors have the ability to send scanned images of their invoices / credit notes, they may use the following FSC email address: invoicefscde248bj@rolls-royce.com
The email address should only be used to send invoices or credit notes.
Invoices / credit notes need to be sent in a PDF format.
Any invoices / credit notes sent through this route must not also be sent via the post.
Any other emails received through this address will be deleted and not responded to.
7. Invoices
Where Purchasing documents are created by Rolls-Royce Pte Limited in Singapore,
these invoices must be sent to:
FAO Accounts Payable
Rolls-Royce Pte Limited
16 International Business Park
#03-09 Singapore 609929
Rolls-Royce in Singapore will log these Invoices and forward details to the Finance Service Centre in the UK for payment.
Please be aware that the FSC email address to receive scanned invoices / credit notes should not be used by Vendors to Singapore.
7. Invoices
To enable invoice verification (automated payment) to be successful,
the following must be included on the invoice:
Invoice number (preferably the same as the Release note number)
Invoice date
Purchase Document number
Purchase Document item number
Delivery / Release / Advice note as quoted on delivery paperwork thataccompanied the goods
Quantity as per the delivery paperwork
Same unit of measure as the purchase document
Same currency as the purchase document
Same value as shown on the purchase document
Correct VAT calculations
Final invoice total
8. Processes – C Class Parts
C Class Parts were previously defined as Consignment Stock.
These are parts where Rolls-Royce has an agreement with a Service Provider
/ and or manufacturer to maintain stock at Rolls-Royce location. The
commercial and technical terms as well as the price are maintained with the
Rolls-Royce vendor by the buyer responsible for this vendor as today. The
Service Provider / manufacturer will deliver and replenish Rolls-Royce “shop
floor” bins.
There will be no schedule agreements issued for these parts.
Contracts are raised on the manufacturing vendor to record pricing and
commercial / technical requirements for the components.
You will receive one contract per Rolls-Royce company code.
8. Processes - Operation Offload
Operation Offload is defined as the outsourcing of manufacturing
operations.
A SAP Contract will be issued to Vendors defining the length of the Contract,
the number of units covered by the Contract and any Commercial and
Technical requirements.
When an offload batch is ready to be despatched to the Vendor, a Purchase
Order will be raised automatically and the order number will be referenced
on the despatch paperwork issued to the supplier (there is no separate issue
of PO).
The vendor will then deliver completed parts against delivery paperwork
ensuring the purchase order number is quoted. Invoices must also quote
the purchase order number.
9. Implementation Sequence
July 15th
This is the final day on which we will book received goods into CICS before
closing it down. Therefore, Vendors should deliver all orders before July
15th.
August 2005
During the second half of August, Rolls-Royce will start sending out the
new Schedule Agreements and the latest delivery schedules. Commencing
September 2005, you will receive delivery schedules on a weekly basis.

11. Summary of Essentials
1. Ensure everyone in your company is ‘aware’ of SAP and the changes that will affect
them.
2. Within SAP you are the ‘owner’ of your data and must inform Rolls-Royce of any
data changes as and when required.
3. Be ready to enter SAP data into your system when available.
4. Understand the implementation sequence as it affects your cut-offs / deliveries etc.
5. We can only accept deliveries in SAP if you quote line item numbers, plants and
storage location on your labels and delivery paperwork.
6. We can only pay you when your invoice quotes item numbers!
7. Prepare for commitment acceptance – you must play your part in “manual
commitment acceptance”, and you must keep the commitments you make.
8. To understand the implication, if any, of ‘C’ class parts on your company.
9. Ensure that your working practices are aligned to SABRe.
10. All deliveries after August 1st must include the SABRe compliant receiving label.
12. Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ERP and SAP?
Enterprise Resource Planning is about two things, namely providing an
integrated set of working practices along with supporting these with an
integrated set of information systems. In other words ERP is the cultural change
which the company is undergoing, whilst SAP is the supporting tool to help it do
so.
Should tooling & Raw Material lead-time be included in the Planning Delivery Time for
first make scenarios?
Yes, the PDT can then be progressively reduced.
How many characters are SAP Purchasing Documents and Item Numbers?
Purchase Order No is 10 characters
Item No is 4 characters
12. Frequently Asked Questions
Will the CICS Purchase Order numbers be transferred into SAP?
No, SAP will generate a new purchase order number. However, you will find
the CICS purchase order number as a reference printed on the new schedule
agreements
How much visibility will Vendors see on SAP Delivery Schedule?
Between 6 and 24 months (including forecasts)
Can a Vendor suggest alternative quantities if they consider the Lot Size matrix not
to be the most economical?
Yes, but they must negotiate with their Rolls-Royce contact
12. Frequently Asked Questions
Will my Rolls-Royce Vendor Number be transferred to SAP?
No, each Vendor will be allocated a new unique numerical code
Will there by any affect on Payments to Vendors?
If we have accurate data in the system, single unit prices and accurate documentation this should help to reduce the level of Invoice Query Notes and improve payment to Vendors
Remember: All invoices should be sent to Accounts Payable in the UK.
If raw material has a long lead-time, will Rolls-Royce accept a Planned Delivery Time of up to a year even on running parts?
Although one must have realistic, achievable lead times, we expect the Vendors to manage their business to agree shorter PDTs, given that they have WIP, Raw Material stock and pipe lines on running parts
12. Frequently Asked Questions
How do we handle Rework material in SAP?
There is a Rework procedure in SAP for handling these parts on separate POs
Will Rolls-Royce schedule demands within the planned delivery time?
No, not without your agreement.
Will the Purchasing Documents call up a Drawing Issue Number?
No
How will conflicting requirements of the same material to different locations be prioritised if short deliveries need to be made?
Advise Rolls-Royce contact of such short delivery who will make the allocation decision in conjunction with the relevant MRP Controllers.
12. Frequently Asked Questions
How will delivery performance be evaluated in SAP ?
Material is considered ‘on-time’ when delivered 5 working days early and zero days late to delivery date.
When will we be given the details of Vendor Evaluation?
Vendor Evaluation via scorecards will continue and be expanded from its current
position to include all Vendors
When SAP is implemented what will happen to arrears carried forward from CICS, i.e. will it be commitment accepted?
Ideally all orders will be satisfied within CICS, where this does not happen it will
be the MRP Controllers job to re-commitment accept.
12. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat if I want to change my Vendor or Material data in your system?
Discuss with your Rolls-Royce contact.
We have dealt with Rolls-Royce for many years, why should we believe anything will
be different?
The need to change behaviour is more important than the software. We have a
new internal organisation, introducing new roles to accommodate the necessary
change. We have commitment from the top down to encompass the required
behaviour and we have significantly invested in training programmes for all roles
specifically on behaviours.
How often will I receive updates of Purchasing Documents?
Delivery Schedules will be faxed every week following an MRP driven change. Where
required this can be overridden and printed locally by the Buyer/Parts Controller. All
other output documents will be printed locally and issued as and when required.
12. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does SAP handle Lot Sizing?
SAP allows Rolls-Royce to order exactly what they want. Where current demand
is 101 pieces, which are delivered in batches of 10, SAP will ensure that for the
final delivery, this is a quantity of 1.
Can anyone at Rolls-Royce agree to an additional charge without changing the
purchase order documents ?
No, the invoice received by Rolls-Royce must match the SAP purchase
document. The buyer is the only person authorised to modify the purchase
document.
Will Rolls-Royce stop continuously expediting me?
Yes, if you adopt the new behaviours in order that everything will happen on time, in accordance with your data. Exceptions should be highlighted to the MRP Controllers at the earliest opportunity, therefore late deliveries / expediting becomes the exception not the norm.
13. Foreign Trade Import Data
Rolls-Royce require the Country of Origin, US content, Harmonized
Tariff code and Schedule B number to be disclosed for every item used
in our products.
This will be required on all quoted items in the future.
