Changes for our customers in the new year

Changes for our customers at the turn of the year

The new year is bringing some changes, which we would like to tell you about below.

Introduction of SAP S/4HANA on 1 January 2025
Handling mandatory e-invoicing from 1 January 2025

Introduction of SAP S/4HANA

Following intensive preparations, we have migrated our previous SAP system to S/4HANA on 1 January 2025. Based on our proven business processes, we have developed a powerful and stable system that will meet the requirements of the future.

The introduction of S/4HANA will result in changes in some areas, which we would like to inform you about below.

New REYHER article numbers

After 20 years, the REYHER article numbers were reorganised as part of the SAP project and three positions were added. We will still be able to process the previous article numbers for your orders (including via EDI). It will be possible to continue to use familiar GTINs (formerly EAN) unchanged.

Detailed information about the article number changeover

Forms

Our forms (including order confirmations, invoices) have been completely revised. They also contain all the necessary information for the transaction, of course.

Webshop RIO - REYHER Internet Order

The new REYHER article number is now used in RIO. In addition, in the last step of the order we have changed the date entry from a requested shipping date to a requested delivery date. In future, the day on which the goods are expected to arrive at our customers' incoming goods department must be specified.

EDI - Electronic Data Interchange

The activated EDI connections will remain functional even after the system change; you will not need to make any technical adjustments. EDI orders received during the changeover phase were buffered and processed in the new system.
Our new article numbers will be used in outgoing documents (ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC) from 1 January 2025. This may affect the identification and import of the documents into your system.

ROM - REYHER Order Management – Kanban

With the SAP S/4 HANA implementation now complete, our well-known Kanban services are available as usual. In the first few days, some rework will be necessary, which may lead to short-term delays.

Handling mandatory e-invoicing

As of 1 January 2025, we will make use of the transitional period stipulated in the German Growth Opportunities Act and will continue to send invoices as they are currently sent. Consequently, you will not need to make any changes to the process with regard to REYHER.
We are planning to send invoices in ZUGFeRD V2.2 format in the future. A date for the nationwide activation of legally compliant e-invoices has not yet been set. However, we will let you know about this step in good time.

Your contacts at REYHER will be happy to answer any questions you may have and will direct you to the right place for specific topics. Thank you for your support!
