SourceDay makes it very convenient and easy to keep up with purchase orders and make changes/corrections to them if needed. I like how it links to the internal system that we use, so if a change is made on our end in our system, it will update on SourceDay and notify the supplier/vendor.

The downside to SourceDay is that a supplier/vendor does not regularly check for updates throughout the day. This can be fixed by making sure you and your supplier/vendor are on the same page when using SourceDay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the fact that I can tag specific line items as "hot" and visualize that urgency with the little fire icon. Having one space to consolidate all changes to a PO or line item is very helpful, espeically when looking back to see the history of an order. The "Split Line" option is also very helpful for tracking early deliveries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have noticed that the "supplier requested updates" and the "buyer requested updates" tab for an ERD can get easily confused. An example of this is, I have recommneded to the supplier that we push out the ERD to 11/15. After proposing the new date, I noticed that I immediately had a new message in the "Updates" tab, and it looked like the system was directing me to accept my own proposed date push.

We can see which orders are on the radar or late so we can chase those down.
I also appreciate how responsive and helpful the SourceDay support team is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Updating PO's is not as easy as i would hope. It would be nice if it was easier to update vendor commit date, promise date, and due date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to work on all orders in one window and knowing if things shipped.

The way the platform is set up is not that fluid. I've had 3 trainings on how to use the platform and it still doesn't make much sense to me.
Action items for myself versus the supplier is not obvious and we both get confused on who needs to do what. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SourceDay provides a platform that streamlines the communication with our suppliers and has significantly reduced the amount of time spent manually updating purchase orders. We no longer have to email PDF copies of POs to suppliers for verification and PO updates integrate quickly into our ERP to reflect the most up-to-date information.

The filtering functionality is a little clunky in the UI - would be better if it functioned closer to Excel filtering, especially when most of our suppliers previously did this work in Excel. It would be nice if there were additional fields that you could update and integrate back to Netsuite, even if they were not something a supplier was able to update. For example, the expected arrival date is tied to the ship date, but only the ship date integrates updates from SourceDay to our ERP and then we have to manually update the arrival date directly in the ERP. This would be much easier if we were able to update that date at the same time we were accepting a change to the ship date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to get the confirmations for price and delivery to load directly to my system so I don't need to go back and try and find the emails I was getting to know when product will be delivered to us has saved me a ton of grief from before we put it in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have yet to find something in the system that has not aided me in my job. I think the thing I dislike the most is that we didn't put this in when we came up on NetSuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the reports you can create, seeing all the open PO's for suppliers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not on Source Day, it's when our suppliers don't use it correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That is has communiates with our suppliers for us. We don't have to remember to send a follow up email to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Saves my team hours of email back and forth. Ensures we are looking at the same data as our suppliers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Getting vendors to adopt and utilize the platform. There have been some limitations in workflow with NetSuite. We can't do all we would like in SourceDay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
