Intel supplier B2B integration with RosettaNet
A guide for suppliers connecting with Intel, covering RosettaNet PIPs for forecasts, orders, ship notices, invoices and inventory, and the WebSuite alternative.
Overview
Understanding Intel integration
Who this is for: Direct materials, equipment and indirect suppliers selling to Intel, especially high-volume suppliers considering automated B2B integration.
Intel is a long-standing user of RosettaNet, the XML-based B2B standard widely used in high-tech and semiconductor supply chains. Intel's supplier site describes RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes (PIPs) for forecasts, purchase orders and changes, advance ship notices, invoices and remittance, and inventory reporting such as goods receipt and consumption.
Not every supplier needs RosettaNet. Intel offers WebSuite, a web portal where suppliers exchange the same business documents manually, and an Intel Web ASN option for suppliers with low shipment volume. Intel recommends the automated RosettaNet ship notice (PIP 3B2) for high shipment volumes, and lists criteria for RosettaNet projects such as transaction volume and business justification.
Intel describes a RosettaNet implementation as a project that typically takes about three months, with phases for selecting software, mapping data and testing PIPs, and requires supplier technical and project resources. Intel also publishes catalog options and a secure file transfer service for exchanging files with suppliers.

Documents and APIs
Common Intel transactions
Documents commonly exchanged with Intel, based on the public sources listed below. Exact requirements depend on your program, so always confirm against Intel's current implementation guide.
| Document | Name | Direction | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4A | Forecast PIPs (4A1, 4A3, 4A5) | Both directions | Intel shares forecasts and suppliers respond. |
| 3A4 | Purchase order PIPs (3A4, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9) | Both directions | Delivers purchase orders, changes and confirmations electronically. |
| 3B2 | Notify of Advance Shipment | To Intel | Automated ship notice recommended for high shipment volumes. |
| 3C3 | Invoice PIPs (3C3, 3C4) | Both directions | Electronic invoices and invoice rejections. |
| 3C6 | Notify of Remittance Advice | From Intel | Explains Intel's payments. |
| 4B2 | Inventory PIPs (4B2, 4B3, 4C1) | Both directions | Goods receipt, consumption and inventory reporting. |
Connectivity
How companies connect
RosettaNet
Automated XML exchange of PIPs, suited to high-volume suppliers with technical resources.
Intel WebSuite
Web portal for suppliers without RosettaNet, including the Intel Web ASN option.
Intel File Transfer System
Secure file exchange with Intel through supported protocols, with published file size and retention rules.
Challenges
Common integration challenges
RosettaNet expertise
PIPs follow different conventions from X12 EDI, so suppliers need RosettaNet-capable software and mapping skills.
Choosing the right channel
Suppliers must decide whether volume justifies RosettaNet or whether WebSuite and Web ASN are enough.
Project resources
Intel expects suppliers to provide technical resources, project management and testing for RosettaNet projects.

Does Intel use EDI or RosettaNet with suppliers?
Intel's supplier site describes RosettaNet PIPs for automated B2B integration and Intel WebSuite for suppliers without RosettaNet.
Which RosettaNet PIPs does Intel use?
Intel lists PIPs for forecasts (4A series), purchase orders (3A4, 3A7, 3A8, 3A9), ship notices (3B2), invoices and remittance (3C3, 3C4, 3C6) and inventory (4B2, 4B3, 4C1).
Can low-volume suppliers send ship notices without RosettaNet?
Yes. Intel offers a Web ASN option in WebSuite for suppliers without RosettaNet and with low shipment volume.
How long does an Intel RosettaNet project take?
Intel says implementations typically take about three months, covering software selection, data mapping and PIP testing.
Is ECOM an Intel partner?
This page is an integration guide and does not indicate a partnership with Intel. ECOM builds integrations to Intel's published B2B options.
