Overview of Online Processes

DEWA is always looking to improve its business processes to satisfy its stakeholders. One of the ways we are doing this is by automating our manual processes.

A range of our services for our suppliers and vendors are now available online, such as the submission of quotations, purchase order acknowledgements, advanced shipping notifications and online service entry sheets.

Purchase Order Acknowledgment

All suppliers and vendors have to acknowledge purchase orders on the suppliers’ self-service portal. This is mandatory and a prerequisite for the next steps.

Advanced Shipping Notification

The Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) is a document that provides detailed information about an upcoming delivery. The purpose of an ASN is to notify DEWA when shipping occurs, provide physical characteristics about the shipment and any special handling equipment so DEWA can be prepared to accept delivery.

It is mandatory for suppliers to supply the ASN, otherwise DEWA will be unable to receive the physical goods.

Online Service Entry Sheet

The services performed by a vendor need to be entered in the Service Entry Sheet and refer to the respective purchase order. The service entry sheet will then be routed through the approval process.
The process will help improve the overall payment cycle.
