ASML is HORRIBLE to work with.
They are some of the most shady, disorganized, uncooperative, chaotic organizations I have ever worked with.
Can you elaborate? Am curious
They absolutely refuse to close out about half of their POs, they just leave them in final fulfilled status, but never close them. Makes it a nightmare to try and maintain a clean "Open PO" data feed.
Spent a year trying to get them to just close the POs. Got run around half the world. No results.
They also have this habit of getting people to accept orders directly through email via excel spreadsheets instead of submitting proper POs.
This leads to different segments of the company flying blind and constantly clashing with eachother when trying to set global demand drives.
They also use Ariba as their vendor portal, which if you have ever tried to do a deep dive into ANID number relationship management, you know that Ariba requires extensive collaboration on both Vendor and Client side to keep the framework from becoming a knotted mess.
They don't have any particularly present Ariba collaboration.
All in all, in my current position, I have dealt with ASML and many of their competitors. LAM is by far the nicest to work with. ASML has been one of the most frustrating to work with while getting the least accomplished.
PO stands for what here? product offer?
Purchase Order. I work in Supply Chain.
A client forecasts a needed item number, then they submit a Purchase Order, a Sales Order is made for the Purchase Order, A Work Order is made for the Sales Order, the item number is manufactured, the Work Order is closed, the item number is delivered to the client, the Sales Order is closed, an invoice is generated, the invoice is paid, the PO gets closed. Unless you're ASML, in which case, there is a d12 roll to decide if its gets closed or if you just leave it there forever.
Shit, this sounds so familiar to my experience with another company..
