“Approved” - Mopar has approved the user’s package plan and corresponding costs have been sent to SAP to be added to the contract header

A system generated email will be sent to the users once Mopar approves or rejects the package plan(s) There is a hyperlink in the email that will take the user(s) to the package plan if changes are needed

If package plan is part of a set, the changes made by the user will impact all package plans

MPPS Training

All approved packaging costs will be sent to the contract header provided in the package planCurrent process remains the same - supplier provided data is validated through a set of systematic checks that confirm the following relationships:

Part number

Contract number

Currency

198 costs

Any mismatch in the data points above will result in the approved cost NOT being added to the contract header, and the approved MPPS package plan will be reopened and sent back as rejected for needed corrections

If the contract UoM (unit of measurement) is in TS (thousands) or HU (hundreds), the MPPS approved packaging cost will be converted and placed on the contact at the converted price

MPPS is being launched with the minimal requirements to replace the temporary Excel approval process

Enhancements will be made based on priority

Please direct all questions, concerns and enhancement requests to MPE@fcagroup.com with the subject line “MPPS”
