SPX Purchasing Expectations

SPX Purchasing Expectations of the Supply Base

 

Upon receipt of the Purchase Order (P.O.) SPX’s expectations are as follows:

 

• Acknowledgement Process:
  • Review the P.O. for price, delivery and quantity
  • Respond back to the SPX buyer within 48 hours acknowledging receipt of P.O. and any changes.
  • If any changes are required, do not ship until the SPX Buyer returns the P.O. reflecting the changes agreed upon between the SPX Buyer and your company.

 

• Open Order Management Process:
  • You will be expected to schedule your production to meet the confirmed deliveries unless otherwise communicated.

NOTE:  The delivery date on the P.O.  is the date expected for the product to be on the dock at the designated shipping location.

• If a reschedule is required, by either party, proactive communication is critical to mutually agree upon a new delivery date or quantity. 

NOTE:  Partial shipments are acceptable upon agreement with SPX buyer.

• Shipments must follow the SPX guidelines for :
  • SPX selected freight carriers
  • Proper packaging requirements 
  • Proper shipping documents 

 

• Payment Process:
  • Upon shipment of the product, the supplier must submit an invoice to SPX Accounts Payable to match the shipment.   
  • The invoice needs to reference the SPX P.O. # and SPX item #(s).

NOTE:  If more than one P.O. is contained  in a shipment, you will need to create multiple invoices reflecting one P.O. # per invoice.

• Payment will be issued per terms and payment method.

NOTE:  Preferred payment method is:  domestically – ACH & internationally – Wire.
