What is PARMA number?
PARMA is Volvo’s identifier for each partner. The parma numbers are generated in PARMA- a Volvo group managing system.

• Each supplier has a unique PARMA number.
• Similarly, each Volvo Group unit (plants, finance units, etc.) also has its own unique PARMA number.

Under the UNB and ISA tabs, suppliers will find information about the unique UNB or ISA numbers assigned to each Volvo unit. These values must be included in the header of the EDI message, specifically in the envelope section.
