The changes to the supplier transition process effective June 2025 introduce a new requirement for message exchange: The previous confirmation message used to respond to EDIFACT messages (positive CONTRL) will be replaced and expanded to include a technical review. Moving forward, confirmation of EDIFACT transmissions must be performed using the APERAK message to ensure market-compliant and reliable communication.
ELEMENT:APERAK Generator automates the creation and transmission of these messages and integrates seamlessly into existing processes. This means you can comply with the shortened response time of 15 minutes and have full transparency over all APERAK messages via the control cockpit.
Automated APERAK generation minimizes manual effort and reduces sources of error while simultaneously allowing both confirmations and rejections.
Embedded into our SOPTIM Elements solution platform, we offer a seamless integration into your system landscape.
The process starting June 6th, 2025
