A process is an organized activity that adds value. It is not a single activity but a connected series of activities which logically fit together. End-to-End processes group the related processes from different functional areas, such as Procure-to-Pay , into extended 'value chains' which start at one end of the business and finish at another end.

Purchasing S&IM 1. Introduction
One of the challenges for Purchasing is to provide leadership and control in areas where it has not traditionally been involved. The area of Services and Indirect Materials (S&IM) will need clear directions in order to bring savings to the business.
Globe is providing standardization in these non-traditional areas, which will allow Purchasing to aggregate where appropriate and deliver further benefits.

Purchasing S&IM 2. Definition
This End-to-End process ensures that all Nestlé procurement of non-production related goods or services is performed accurately in a speedy, simple and standard way.
This end-to-end process has two distinct but related parts:Strategic / Tactical Process
which determines the appropriate procurement strategy for aspend category and the selection of an appropriate
vendor(s).
Operational Process
which covers the steps from "need to procure" through to "payment for received non-production related goods
and services". (e.g. MRO, office supplies, promotional items, media).

Co-packing: i.e. the packing of a semi-finished product by a vendor or re-packing of an existing product into a different packaging format.
It will not include:Purchase of temporary personnel services for the
production of a product at a Nestlé site. This will be managed by creating a service purchase order.
Purchase of a finished product for which all materials (raw, packaging, semi-finished) are procured by the Vendor itself. This is managed by placing a purchase order for a finished product as for any other material.

Subcontracting is a complete End-to-End process which is managed by procurement.
Cross-functional team approves the strategical decision of subcontracting, selects and monitors the Subcontractor.
A Subcontracting Agreement is issued. The control of co-manufacturing/subcontracting contracts,
purchase orders and stocks are supported by a Globe template functionality.
Best practice is to create an accurate Bill of Material (BOM) for each subcontracted product.
All master data records (e.g. subcontractor as a vendor, account assignments, material numbers etc.) must be accurate and established before transactions with subcontractors are executed.
The Subcontractor's performance is monitored regularly against the subcontracting agreement, using tools such as the Material Variance Report and the Vendor Evaluation.

The Subcontractor can be modelled as a Vendor or a Plant, depending on the level of tracability required at the subcontractor:
Vendor - The subcontractor is set up as a vendor when:
the subcontractor's finished product is to be received back to the main Nestlé plant. It is not required to manage the finished products independently.
Plant - The subcontractor is set up as a plant when:
full transparency of finshed good stocks at the subcontractor's site is required.
planning is to take place at the subcontractor's plant.
finished goods are to be sold directly from the subcontractor's plant to the customer.

In a Vendor Managed Inventory scenario (VMI): The Vendor monitors the stock levels of Nestlé and initiates
stock replenishment when necessary, without the need to receive any purchase orders from Nestlé.
Purchase Orders will be generated directly in the Nestlé system by the Vendor through a portal or Marketplace.
This process enables the Vendor to: monitor requirements. monitor stock levels and planned consumption. generate Purchase Orders, Advanced Shipping Notification
(Marketplace only) and Invoices in the Nestlé system. receive Goods Receipts Confirmation, Selfbill Invoices and
Remittance Advices (Marketplace only).
Vendor Managed Inventory scenario includes only: Raw and Packaging materials.

P-Card management1. Introduction
One of the key deliverables in Procure-to-Pay is to reduce transactional costs. A number of solutions have been identified and developed to reduce the costs of purchasing. Markets should evaluate these solutions to determine which tool is most appropriate for each spend category, P-Card being one of them.
P-Card is ideal for high volume low value spend categories. As this is not template dependent, markets can benefit immediately by introducing this solution.

P-Card management2. Definition
P-Card Management is an End-to-End process whereby Corporate Purchasing Cards (CPC or P-Cards) are issued to companies and used by employees as charge cards simplifying streamlines for purchases of high volume, low value goods and services for company use.
The company carries the liability and is responsible for making one monthly payment for all purchases on a consolidated invoice statement to the Corporate Purchasing Card company e.g. American Express.

New Ways of Working Employee awareness, understanding and acceptance of
new purchasing roles is vital. High level of empowerment is given to employees in this
process. Requirements for S&IM (high volume, low value) are
purchased using P-Cards via phone, fax, e-mail, vendor's website, Enterprise Buyer Professional (EBP) application or in person. No Purchase Orders are required to be created (except in the case of EBP and Asset and Maintenance Management (AMM)).
''Buyerless" procurement where internal users, who are P-card Holders, across the company will execute the operational buying activities.
The P-Card can only be used for the payment of S&IM ordered from vendors listed on the Corporate Purchasing Card (CPC) Vendor List.

P-Card management9. Working Process
This process consists of following steps:
An employee issued with a corporate purchasing card (P-Card) can use his/her P-Card for the payment of high volume, low value services and indirect materials from approved vendors listed on the CPC (Corporate Purchasing Card) Vendor List on the Purchasing Intranet.
The approved Vendor processes the order and sends the details to the P-Card Provider (American Express).
American Express (AMEX) accumulates the transactions from the vendors, pays those vendors, and sends Nestlé a consolidated P-Card transaction file each month. The P-Card Holder's manager must approve the transactions listed.
Each month, each P-Card Holder will receive a copy of the transactions that have been charged to their card. The P-Card Holder will then be required to check each transaction and validate it both in terms of price charged and that the goods or services were received as shown on the transaction.
The P-Card transaction file received from AMEX is uploaded into the SAP Finance system, which results in a payment to AMEX.

Scalability: This process covers the Vendor life cycle, either locally or
globally, managed by Procurement. Sharing the information through other tools (e-mail, fax,
intranet) will enhance the process, because it will reduce the workload of other organizations.
Usability: The speed at which requests may arise and approval
decisions are taken in local or global organizations, is a key element of this process.
Every role and stream involved in the process must be efficient and effective.

Vendor Life Cycle 6. Business rules
The company can be supplied and can receive invoices only if Vendors are identified by a Vendor master record.
Procurement is responsible for the approval process of a Vendor as a business partner.
Each Vendor is identified by one Vendor master record.
A new Vendor can be set up only if it does not already exist in the Master Data Repository (MDR).
A Vendor with the same name/address/search term must exist only once on the MDR.
The creation request form can be raised in other departments by a local person, but the decision to accept a Vendor is only taken by Procurement through business approval.
The 'Vendor master data initiator' is a Data Management role that only proposes the creation of a new Vendor master record.
The 'Strategic Buyer' is a procurement role authorized to deal with a Vendor.

The request form for creation, maintenance and change can be raised by non-procurement roles. A daily report ensures critical field checking.
A procurement business approval for change in the MDR is not required.
Data quality, consistency and validity are a co-responsibility of the Initiator, Procurement, Local Data Organizations and Globe Centers.
Rationalization of the Vendor database and a higher degree of uniformity across the markets is recommended.
A procurement function triggers the introduction of a new Vendor within the company and this determines the creation of a new Vendor master record in the system.

Responsibilities / Accountabilities and Decision Making The Procurement Unit is responsible for the approval of a
Vendor as a long term business partner. This Vendor Life Cycle process is applicable for three
scenarios, i.e. create, change and block/unblock Vendor. Local data management checks correctness, completeness
and compliance with the Data Standards and then uniqueness in the Supplementary Data Repository (SDR) and the Global Master Data Repository (MDR).
GLOBE Centers (data management) are responsible for the quality of the 'global data' of the Vendor which are recorded in the Global Master Data Repository (MDR).
Communication and Workload Shifts Electronic workflow is used in the process of creating and
changing a Vendor record.

New Ways of Working The Vendor Life Cycle follows a defined and structured process, all
involved must adhere to workflow steps in their respective roles. Entry of Vendor information requires discipline and must be timely
and accurate. Workflow administrators should exercise discipline and timeliness
in updating all who have a role in the workflow. Master data records adhere to Nestlé data standards. Requests for new Vendors go through three approval stages, i.e.
Procurement, Local data organization and the GLOBE Center. Requests to change Vendors on MDR go through two approval
stages, i.e. Local data organization and GLOBE Center. Requests to change Vendors on SDR go through one approval
stage, i.e. Local data organization. The creation of a new released Vendor will depend on the timings
involved in data creation and approval from more than one department (i.e. Initiator, GC Data management, Local Data Organization, Purchasing and Accounts Payable).
