Service Contract Matching in FSM

flewis

Good Morning,

With the advent of Service Contract Matching in FSM, which eliminates the CM-assigned PO Number, what kind of additional processes/communications has our organization been implementing to curtail any confusion caused by the change?  

Thanks -

Hey Frank

Moving from V10 to FSM in 2020 we had this issue come up as well.  In most cases we kept the original PO# from the PO25 contract with the vendor but created a new FSM contract.  When we uploaded the contracts we added the old PO25 PO# for service contracts in the "VendorAgreementReference". Next I created an all contracts report  using Infor's "MyReports" with a"VendorAgreementReference" column so that when the invoice came in AP could easily find and match the old PO25 PO# with the new contract number. 

Everyone else has access to the report so if anyone in Supply Chain needs to review or make changes to the new contract as well and all they have is the old PO25 PO# they can easily access it as well.
