To Shopping Cart Requesters and Approvers:
The Indirect Procurement Requirements Checklist that is used for the review of Shopping Cart documentation requirements has now been updated to include the Expanded Description for each material group. Please refer to this checklist to facilitate alignment of the material group selection in your shopping carts with the description in the shopping carts.
These expanded descriptions are the result of the efforts of the Regional Procurement organizations working with Global Procurement Systems. The team also identified several material groups that are not relevant to the current MJN business environment or were redundant with other material groups. These groups are indicated with DO NOT USE - TO BE OBSOLETED in the expanded description. Please do not use these material groups for the creation of new shopping carts. Reach out to the Global Procurement Systems team at GPSAdmin@mjn.com if you have any questions about which material group to use instead of a group that is to be obsoleted. We will also be reviewing any open POs in SAP that use these material groups to be obsoleted to determine whether they need to be closed or updated to an alternative material group.
Finally, the e-Squared SharePoint portal is your source for e-Buy Material Groups information. You will find the checklist in the portal using the button on the site.
