Supplier Catalogs

Atmus Filtration Technologies uses a global procurement system called Ariba to handle indirect purchases. It is required that suppliers have an Ariba account. This platform allows Atmus employees to purchase supplier products from catalogs to place orders swiftly. 

Utilizing supplier catalogs increases efficiency compared to manually creating a purchase requisition in detail to order the same items. Catalogs are managed and updated by our suppliers through Ariba Network. 
 

For more information on registering for an Ariba Network account please go here: Ariba Network.

Catalog Requirements: 

As a supplier, it is recommended that you review the catalog content at least once a year to ensure the information is current. This will ensure your invoices match the purchase order and are paid on time. Please adhere to the following catalog naming conventions:

Commodity codes need to accurately describe the catalog items because they drive spend analysis for our purchasing teams. This list is recognized by Ariba Network and available in the Guide section. When you are unsure about which commodity code to use, contact your Atmus Sourcing Manager.

Unit of Measure (UOM) should be taken from our standard list available in the Guide section below:

Catalog types: Suppliers create the catalogs and submit them to atmus via the ariba network. They become available in atmus ariba cloud after automatically syncing every 4 hours from the ariba network to ariba cloud. Atmus will review and approve the content before making it available to internal users.

• CIF (Catalog Interchange Format) - This is a simple comma-separated list of catalog items and their associated attributes that can include pictures in Microsoft Excel. CIF catalogs can vary in size, ranging from one item to thousands of items (up to 10 MB of data). This type of catalog is the most used format and requires very limited technical capability. 
• Punchout (External website) - Punchout catalogs link between the Atmus Ariba system and the supplier website. They provide a lively, interactive experience for the Atmus buyer. A URL is displayed within our system instead of product details, the buyer can then shop directly from your website and return the cart to the Ariba Cloud system for approval. 

CIF Catalog Upload Instructions

To upload your CIF Catalog, you will need to complete the template below using proper naming conventions, commodity codes and units of measure. For required catalog details and instructions on how to complete the template, please view:  

Naming Conventions: The title of a CIF Catalog MUST be in this format: Supplier Name, underscore, “_”, Country Code (ex. ABC INC_US.)

Punchout Catalog Instructions:  Prior to submitting a punchout catalog, please send your test account ANID (Ariba Network Identification), Duns #, and which country the catalog is for to the Sourcing Manager. The setup process will need to be completed at our end, (which takes a few days). After completion, the punchout may be submitted through the Ariba Network Test Account.  Once the file has been submitted successfully, the catalog manager and sourcing manager will be required to verify and approve the file, catalog link, and content before making the catalog available to buyers.  In the event of any issues, the catalog team will work with you to resolve them.
