Supplier Relationship Guide
This Supplier Relationship Guide provides important information you will need to do business with Watson and allow your company to participate in the benefits of e-Procurement.
One of our strategic goals is to transact our business in a paperless environment. You will see several options to reduce or eliminate paper invoices, checks, purchase orders, contracts, request for quotation, remittance advice notifications, etc. We believe when you understand the benefits of automating these processes, you will want to participate as fully and as soon as possible. However, we understand that not everyone will immediately be ready to participate with us in our new paperless world. We would like to work with you towards that goal, and are prepared to issue and accept the more traditional paper documents during the interim.
To join us in our journey to automation, all you need is the desire, and access to the Internet, or, at a minimum, a fax machine. Participation is not mandatory. However, it is the preferred business model for our "Approved Suppliers".
