Overview & Implementation iProcurement Installations: 10 OUs - 3 in AMR, 2 in EMEA & 5 in APAC Setup is primarily handled through the standard Purchasing module. Use Internet Procurement Catalog administration & Ecommerce Gateway responsibilities. Customized Requisition approval process. Logitech follows the Requestor hierarchy chain instead of Preparer.

Punch Out Setup Punch Out – Software and Hardware XML punch out from the supplier site. Need URL & an Identifier from the supplier. Need to set up catalog & stores for that Supplier. DBAs take care of the security at the back end.

Custom Approval Routing Logitech uses the workflow to enable special routing for certain categories of items. Set up as standard Approval group with an addition that we use DFF to route them from the standard Workflow. All software and hardware related requests are routed to our IT department for review and approval. This occurs prior to approval review/approval by the Requestor’s management.

Receiving iProcurement is used for Desktop receiving. It’s a very simple process and is great for remote sites and non-central receiving locations. Use of the receiving features can help users to correct & return items.

Training Live training – conference room format. Trained over 400 employees in 2 weeks in all three regions. Training materials Web based training – WebEx DOD – Demo on Demand Training page on intranet

Support Issues Logitech uses Lotus notes email for approvals - link between Notes & Oracle server sometimes breaks and the user is not aware of the fact that their Requisition was not reviewed or approved. The most common user issue is how to change the Req after it is approved. Make sure to implement Security rules as well as Cross validations correctly as incorrect coding in Iprocurement impact AP & GL transfers.
