Microblog:
Danfoss Cooling Segment:
It is very good for message sharing between supplier and Danfoss, but as of now Danfoss cooling
segment doesn’t use it. We will come back when to start using this with proper document.
Danfoss Power Solution:
The Microblog is used to communicate short Twitter type messages of 140 characters or less
between Danfoss Power Solutions and our Suppliers. Suppliers from Danfoss power solution use
Microblog only from Danfoss side to communicate suppliers, but not used from supplier side to
respond over microblog.
Go to next tab ‘Confirmation’ where you will see Purchase orders categorized into two tables as
below. The green boxes explain the content of each part.
Third table is ‘Shipping’ as below

Please be aware of the “Refresh” link (here it is at the top left of the screen). SNC will only update
the screens you work on if you press this link. So if you cannot find an order or similar, you will
probably have to press the “Refresh” link. This goes for all screens in SNC.
3 How do I see forecasts? Please be aware, that forecasts in SNC represent Danfoss best guess on future requirements on
code number level. They change weekly depending on Danfoss order situation, production orders
and purchase orders. They are the “raw data” from our ERP system and can contain errors. If you
suspect the forecast is wrong, contact planner or purchaser for clarification.
Danfoss has a monthly medium term production planning process, and normally the production
forecasts are updated shortly before the 20th in each month. The purchasing forecasts will therefore
change most around this date.
The first time you log on to SNC and want to see the forecasts, you have to define exactly how
you want to see it. This is done by creating a Time Buckets Profile.
3.1 How do I make a Time Bucket Profile
Select the menu Demand – Order Forecast Monitor – Time Buckets Profile.

If there is any change in order confirmation, please re-confirm / change order confirmation and
this change confirmation from supplier should be approved by Danfoss planner before creating
ASN.
ASN will be created when shipping the goods from your location, so that Danfoss
will do ‘Goods receipt’ with respect to this ASN.
ASN Creation from Quick View:
ASN can be created from Quick view by clicking on corresponding category:
Go to Shipping tab where you can see category: Due today, Due within 7 days & Due within 30 days (Marked in green color)
ASN Creation from Menu
Select the menu Delivery – Receipts and requirements – Due list for purchasing document

If you are not able to see the ASN to be created after selecting the above screen then refresh the
screen which is available at the right bottom of the screen.
Even if not visible then follow the below steps,
Enter Customer location as required (eg.0001 for Nordborg) and select Apply, this is for one time.
By doing this you will be able to see the list of PO for ASN to be created.
Also refresh the page at the right bottom of the screen.
Please contact respective Planner or me immediately when you have this kind of issue.
Select the purchase order you are going to ship by pressing the grey box to the left.
Please make one ASN per delivery note you send to Danfoss. If you send more purchase orders on
the same delivery note, you have to select more purchase order lines. This is done by selecting
each line by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the grey box for each line.
When all lines are selected, press the “Create ASN” button. The ASN window will open.
Fill out ASN number with your delivery note number. Please check, that the shipping date and the
delivery date at Danfoss are correct. By default, Shipping date and document date should be
current date which is not supposed to be changed and Delivery date will be calculated with respect
to transportation time from Current Shipping date.
If you want to change the Shipping date then remove the Delivery date, change Shipping date and
click ‘Check’ which will update the delivery date according to Transportation time from Shipping
date.

If Danfoss wants the supplier to send the material faster than normal mode of transport then select
‘Shipping Detail’ tab and change the ‘Means of Transport’ as needed. Whenever you do any
changes in the transportation mode it changes the Delivery date automatically according to the
transport duration time maintained in SNC backend system.
Then press the button “Publish ASN” to publish the ASN.
Now, you will see a new window pop up for your confirmation on the price & quantity, Please
click on ‘YES’ to agree for price & quantity. ASN will now get published and sent to Danfoss.
7 How do I make an order change, if the order is already
confirmed? Requests for order changes can come from Danfoss or from the supplier. In any case the supplier
will have to go into SNC and change the order confirmation.
Note: If ASN is already created, then you are not allowed to re-confirm / change the order confirmation.
If there is any partial ASN to be created which can be created in SNC without reconfirming the
order.

Once changed, select the line and click ‘Save and Publish’
8 How to Cancel the wrong ASN and Create New ASN ?
To view the created ASN, click here in Quick view
Select the ASN no. and click cancel ASN.
This will cancel the ASN in SNC and will remove the ASN(LA line) from our system also.
If Danfoss has already used the SNC ASN for Goods receipt then this ASN cancellation will not
update in our system even if SNC allow it to cancel.
Note: SNC will not accept same ASN no. even after the ASN has been cancelled.
You have to add extra character in the old ASN no., example: ‘-1’, etc to the old ASN no.
Or else you can append the letter “A” to the end of your previously used ASN number when
creating the new ASN. This way it’s clear that the ASN is a revision of a previously published
ASN.
Example:
Original ASN: 123 this is the ASN that will be cancelled.
Revised ASN: 123A this is the revised ASN.
