If a supplier doesn't follow GS1 it gets harder; the recommendation is to require the standard. Plus, SiMA's internal relabeling gives you full control for physical inventory and transfers.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What if the supplier batch number is longer than SAP's standard field?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Two proven solutions: use the classification system (an external-batch characteristic storing the full string without touching the standard field), or the suite's cross-cutting extension points, exits that hand control to a customer program to map, truncate or convert the code per the agreed rule (e.g. with 3PLs). Applies to receiving with SiMA.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you onboard a supplier that won the tender but doesn't exist in SAP?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The suite includes supplier onboarding: our SiDM Vendors app gives the winning supplier portal access to upload data and documents, which can then follow an approval flow to create the vendor (or BP in S\/4HANA).\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is it compatible with SAP's Clean Core and RISE\/GROW strategy?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The apps respect SAP's native flows: their operations always land in standard documents and transactions, which eases adoption of SAP's new approach of using standard APIs to integrate with the ERP.
