Supply Lens automates the Marks & Spencer supplier document cycle. Purchase orders and order changes in, invoices out, mapped to your ERP or IMS with the right depot codes, supplier IDs and M&S tolerance rules built in.
M&S looks straightforward on paper. The work is in the supplier and depot codes, the tolerance rules on every invoice and the order changes that arrive after the original has already been actioned. Get any of it wrong and you eat a deduction. Supply Lens is configured for those rules out of the box.
M&S receive supplier documents through a managed network rather than a point-to-point link. Supply Lens holds that network relationship, the routing and the partner profile on your behalf, so you need no account, subscription or gateway of your own.
M&S revise orders after they have been raised, sometimes more than once. Supply Lens matches each change to the original order and updates it in place rather than creating a duplicate, so your warehouse picks against the current quantities and your invoice matches what M&S expects to pay.
M&S identify products by GS1 EAN and their own article reference. Supply Lens maintains a cross-reference table mapping both to your item codes, so the order lands correctly in your ERP regardless of which identifier M&S send.
M&S apply strict invoice matching on price and quantity. Supply Lens validates the invoice against the current version of the order, including any changes received, and your agreed cost list before transmission, flagging discrepancies rather than sending and risking a deduction later.
Each M&S purchase order names a destination depot by code. Supply Lens maps every active M&S location to the correct routing in your warehouse system, so the order lands against the right depot in your ERP without manual intervention.
Your agreed M&S cost list is registered in Supply Lens. Promotional pricing, cost changes and tier breaks are applied automatically when an invoice is generated, so the price M&S see always matches what was agreed and the invoice clears their matching process first time.
Supply Lens handles the full M&S document set inbound and outbound, so documents are produced and transmitted automatically, without manual rekeying.
Supply Lens holds M&S's rules and the network relationship so you don't have to. Your team provides credentials, product mappings and the agreed cost list. Everything else lives in the Supply Lens layer.
Your M&S supplier code, GLN and trading partner profile registered on the network. Supply Lens manages the routing and identifiers, so there is no account or setup needed your side.
M&S EANs and article references mapped to your item codes. Pack-size variants, promotional lines and multi-pack SKUs are handled automatically once their cross-reference is established.
Each M&S depot code mapped to your correct warehouse, customer account or entity in your ERP, so orders route cleanly to the right despatch point on receipt.
Your agreed M&S cost list registered for invoice validation. Tolerance rules applied per supplier agreement, and order changes matched to the order they revise, so discrepancies surface your side first.
Supply Lens handles the scenarios that typically cause invoice rejections, deductions or document mismatches in the M&S flow.
Each change is matched to the order it revises and applied in place, so there is one live version at all times rather than an original and a contradiction. Your warehouse picks against current quantities and the invoice is validated against the revised order, which is what M&S match against at their end.
Invoice values are validated against the current order and your agreed M&S cost list before submission. Discrepancies are flagged before the invoice is sent, giving your team a chance to correct or query rather than receive an M&S deduction weeks later.
Every change is applied to the order in your ERP as it arrives, and the revision is visible on the order itself. There is no separate queue to check and no second document for your team to reconcile by hand. What is in your ERP is what M&S last sent.
Unrecognised EANs go to an exception queue immediately. The order is held, your team is notified with the full M&S context, the mapping is added and the order is re-triggered. No silent drop, no late invoice, no missed delivery window.
M&S onboarding involves their supplier team, the network routing setup and your internal product and pricing data. Supply Lens manages the configuration, the gateway and the format conversion. You provide the inputs.
