Purchase Orders

This page contains information on how to receive purchase orders (also called orders or POs) from Renewi. Suppliers can receive purchase orders in two different ways.

Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP):

The Coupa Supplier Portal is an online portal, which enables suppliers to collaborate with Renewi. After suppliers have received an invitation from Renewi, they can register to create a profile on the CSP. Registration is free of charge. Suppliers will see an up-to-date overview of their received purchase orders and they are able to send (credit) invoices through the CSP as soon as registration has been completed.

It is possible for a supplier to manage its purchase orders on the platform after having created a profile on the CSP. The supplier receives a notification via e-mail with a copy of the purchase order. Receiving a purchase order through the CSP also offers the possibility of easily converting ('flipping') the purchase order into an invoice. As a result, the invoice data is filled in and in line with the order.

If you wish to receive an invitation to enable you to use the CSP, please contact suppliersupport@renewi.com.

For more information about supplier registration and profile management, see documents ‘CSP Registration and Profile Management’ and ‘CSP User & Admin Guide’.

cXML connection:

It is possible to automate a large part of the order and invoicing process between Renewi and her suppliers through a cXML connection, which means that a purchase order created by Renewi in Coupa is sent directly to the supplier’s system. Such a connection only offers added value when large quantities of purchase orders and invoices are exchanged between Renewi and her supplier every year (that is, more than 250 orders / invoices per year).

If you wish to set up a cXML connection with Renewi, please contact suppliersupport@renewi.com.

For more information regarding the added value and setup of a cXML connection, see document ‘cXMLprofil User Guide' on the Coupa page or go to the Coupa Success Portal.

Sending purchase orders via Coupa:

For all Renewi purchase orders received through the CSP, suppliers are asked to also send the corresponding invoice(s) through the CSP to ensure a smooth payment process. Invoices should not be sent by post or e-mail. The current way of working will remain in place when a purchase order has been received outside of Coupa. Exceptions for invoicing through Coupa are mentioned below.

Exceptions for purchase orders through Coupa:

There are some specific exceptions whereby a supplier will not receive a purchase order through Coupa:

1. The relevant Renewi entity will not adopt Coupa or has not adopted Coupa (but may do so in the future);
2. An alternative (mostly automatic) order process has been set up together with the supplier due to specific characteristics of the activities between the supplier and Renewi

We would like to refer you to the Frequently Asked Questions page to resolve any remaining question(s) after having read the above mentioned information. Here, you can also contact Renewi in case you have not found the answer to your question(s).
