RFMS E-Commerce (EC) is an add-on module that extends RFMS ERP workflows by supporting automated and semi-automated document exchange between a dealer and one or more suppliers. The connection used for these exchanges is the FCB2B Standard, commonly referred to as B2B.
E-Commerce receives and organizes B2B documents, and RFMS ERP remains the system where the product file, purchase orders, and accounting workflows are ultimately managed.
For a list of participating vendors see B2B Ecommerce for Flooring Operations by RFMS
Trading Partner Agreement
Some suppliers require a Trading Partner Agreement (TPA) before they will exchange documents through E-Commerce. A TPA describes the general terms and conditions under which the parties agree to exchange information.
B2B Standard
Under the flooring B2B standard, the documents exchanged typically include:
| Document type | What it’s used for |
|---|---|
| Product Catalogs | Supplier product details and pricing updates |
| Purchase Orders | Dealer orders sent to suppliers |
| Invoices | Supplier billing documents |
| Advance Ship Notices | Shipment details sent ahead of delivery |
For more information about the standard, visit the Flooring B2B site.
