  • Global Initiative Overview
    • In 2009, Mead Johnson Nutrition launched a series of global initiatives to enhance business operations and enable streamlined data sharing across the worldwide Mead Johnson organization. This program will ultimately result in a Global SAP implementation where all regions will be utilizing the same applications, processes and tools.

      A major part of the transformation effort involves our partnership with IBM for procurement and accounts payable related matters. As a procurement services provider for indirect categories, IBM will assist Mead Johnson in the following areas:

      • Strategic sourcing
      • Tactical buying
      • Purchase order processing
      • Catalog content management
      • Supplier management for procurement of certain indirect goods and services categories

      IBM will also take over for Accenture in providing assistance with accounts payable invoice processing for both direct and indirect goods and services.

      Another significant aspect of this program is the creation of a new-dedicated supplier Help Desk called the Customer Assistance Center (CAC). Available at no cost to you, this Help Desk will be your resource for answers to any procurement or accounts payable-related questions, concerns or issues.

      Timeline of Key Events

      June 2011

      • Closing existing Purchase Orders (POs) in old BMS systems to reissue in the new MJN SAP system.
      • In order to minimize payment delays, INDIRECT suppliers need to submit ALL pending invoices using the current process by June 21, 2011.
      • In order to minimize payment delays, DIRECT suppliers need to submit ALL pending invoices using the current process by June 24, 2011.

      July 2011

      • Go-Live: MJN will transition Philippines business activities to its new Global SAP system on July 5, 2011.

    • In preparation for our SAP launch, MJN requesters will close out old purchase orders and create new PO documentation for open purchase orders that have not been fully delivered (for the remaining quantity) using our new SAP system. Note, new PO documentation will reference the old/closed purchase order numbers to allow for easier identification of the documents being replaced.

      INDIRECT VENDORS

      Please follow these instructions:
      1. Submit invoices for goods that have been delivered or services that have been rendered by June 21, 2011 (Tuesday) 2. Send invoices to DHL House, Country Office Reception, 2306 Don Chino Roces Ave. Ext., Makati 3. Complete the Invoice Transmittal Form (ITF) provided by the DHL counter representative and ensure your invoice contains PO number(s) and MJN Contact

      Note: Failure to submit invoices for goods or services that have already been delivered or rendered by June 21, 2011 may cause invoice-processing issues as we transition to our new SAP system on July 5th.

      DIRECT VENDORS

      To avoid disruptions to invoice processing and payment, we need all direct vendors to submit invoices for goods and services that have already been delivered or rendered by June 24, 2011.

      Please follow these instructions:

      1. Submit invoices for goods that have been delivered or services that have been rendered via Courier to Accenture by June 24, 2011 (Friday)

      Note: Failure to submit invoices for goods or services that have already been delivered or rendered by June 24, 2011 may cause invoice-processing issues as we transition to our new SAP system on July 5th.

      • If contacted by MJN regarding validation of vendor master related information, respond in a timely and accurate manner.
      • Monitor your Open Purchase Orders: Work with your Mead Johnson contact to monitor open purchase orders and complete goods/services deliveries and invoicing (as required) prior to the old system invoicing deadline. Otherwise, your open purchase order will need to be reissued using the new system; creating additional administrative burden on both sides.
      • For Suppliers receiving purchase orders via email, create a group email account (i.e. “purchase orders@vendor.com”)to receive purchase orders from MJN rather than designated to a specific individual in your company. This will ensure purchase orders are successfully received and business between our companies remains fluid. Please communicate your new email address to your MJN contact.
  • New Material Numbers / Item Codes
    • For Direct vendors of raw and packaging materials, Mead Johnson has communicated (via email) the new material numbers / item codes. If you have not received the new numbers / codes, please immediately contact your MJN representative.

  • New Invoice Submission Details
    • After our Global SAP implementation on July 5th, Direct Vendors will need to submit invoices to a new Postal or Email Address (see chart below).

      Note: The invoice submission process DOES NOT change for our Indirect Vendors. Please continue submitting invoices to the “DHL House” Postal Address.
