Receive new UNHRD Customer NFI/Service Request
Performer: Customer Service
Role: C.S. Representatives
Transaction : Corporate e-mail

The request is received into the general Customer Service e-mail account (UNHRD.customerservice@wfp.org). The local HRD Customer Service representative picks up the requests pertaining to his/her specific Hub; however, in case of urgent requests he/she can also process service requests directed to other Hubs. As a general rule, when a local Customer Service staff processes the Inquiry, the Quotation and the PI, he/she will complete the entire sales process until the Final Invoice is raised. If the C.S. representative processes service directed to other Hubs, he/she passes over the sale as soon as the effected Hubs return to be operative.

It is recommended to open an Inquiry against each request received, to allow the tracking of number of requests that eventually abort before quotations, sales and/or provision of services.

As per UNHRD Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) UCS staff should always remind the partners that the manager of the HRD involved in the transaction should be copied on the email sent to UCS mailbox (referring to the relevant contacts – in particular, the Releasing authorities for HRD stocks - in the fact-sheets in Annex 5 and/or the UNHRD website: www.unhrd.org), and that, in the subject line of the email, the name of the involved country/destination and the Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order or PI number should always be mentioned.

In general all mails from UCS mailbox should be signed with the UCS representative Name and Last name and the text “UNHRD Customer Service” as second line, without reporting the hub he/she belongs to:

Name Last-name
UNHRD Customer Service

This is because the Partners' needs can be satisfied by accessing a single entry point and with same standards that can be provided similarly by the 5 separate offices/UCS locations. In any case, us of personal corporate mail account should be avoided to communicate with Partners (both internal and external) unless exceptional circumstances apply.

UNHRD Special Logistics Business offers a variety of option to the Partner for the provision of services. Below listed the most common Business processes:

Direct Delivery

Direct Delivery process is applied to those sales that involve the delivery of goods directly from Supplier's location to UNHRD Partner. The process can be applied either to procurement of standard items or to items procured ad-hoc upon request of Partners. Shipping terms that can be applied to Direct Delivery sale can be either EXWorks, when transport is procured separately by UNHRD, or DAP, when transport is performed by Supplier beside the provision of goods. See Chapter 3.22 Direct Delivery for further information on this process.

Loans & Borrowing

UNHRD Partners are allowed loan of stocks with other Partners, subject to a bilateral agreement between parties moderated by UNHRD. These are considered shared stocks. The most common way to access another Partner's stocks is through a sale, e.g. “User A” may buy items which are part of “User B‟s” stocks and takes possession of them upon issuance by “User B” of an approval for loan. Upon request from the lending Partner, UNHRD takes care of the procurement for the replenishment of the lent stock, performs the require actions to make the stock available under borrower's account and return it back once replenished. Loan can be closed thru procurement of any other items selected by the lender. See Chapter 3.3.1 Sales Order with Loans and Borrowing for further details on this process.
