Each supplier needs at least one group coordinator to manage the inventory.

This person coordinates the proper planning and execution of the inventory on the supplier side.

In the company, this usually comes from sales or key account management.

If you have designated a group coordinator, report this (e-mail address) to your BMW contact and to the mytools.inventory@bmwgroup.com.

As a group coordinator, you need the role of a tool coordinator in the system. To register, contact your BMW Group Partner Portal (B2B) master administrator directly to obtain authorization as a tool coordinator. Instructions for master administrators can be found here.

If you do not yet have BMW Group Partner Portal (B2B) access, please contact your company master administrator for the portal. This person is responsible for the access authorizations.

After you have reported your Group Coordinator, they will be given access to a BMW Panama Project Drive for the Group Inventory.

After his access has been approved, he will receive an authorization email from DIVA@bmw.de. Once he has received this, he can access the Panama project drive via his B2B partner portal. Instructions for this can be found here.

There, he receives an overview of the inventory-relevant scope of production resources.

If necessary, the Group Coordinator notifies substitutes (with e-mail address) to the mytools@bmwgroup.comThis person will then also have access to the Panama project drive.

We recommend that the Group Coordinator and his/her deputies participate in a dialogue event.

In this, the entire procedure is explained to you again in person and there is room for open questions.
