Sourcing-Contract-Supplier Validation workshops held
The P2P team held in-person and virtual Cross-Module Validation Workshops August 2-5, 2022 at UW–Madison. The exercise included members from the ShopUW+ Supplier, Sourcing, and Contracts Design Teams to validate that the full suite system design aligns with future state business processes. The team members spent four days covering sourcing event request and creation; sourcing evaluation and award; PO processing; contract initiation and execution; supplier registration; supplier response; payment processing; and contract management.
Sourcing and Contracts+ module update
The Sourcing and Contracts+ change management teams are working together to coordinate engagement activities because of similar stakeholders. The Sourcing module team presented the new concepts associated with the sourcing module at the systemwide purchasing teleconference on Aug. 9 to acquaint them with the new terminology of work groups, event users (roles), business process snapshot, and workflow. A similar meeting for Contracts+ is planned for Sept. 13. The Sourcing and Contracts+ change management teams have started meeting weekly with system procurement directors to discuss pre-launch and post-launch engagement activities.
ChemManager+ to Launch on three campuses on August 22
