Transition to Infor: New Process for Purchase Orders
This fall, UM Charles Regional Medical Center will join other UMMS member organizations in using Infor Supply Chain Management (SCM). The switch to the Infor SCM will occur in mid-September. In advance of this transition, we want to make sure that team members understand the new process for purchase orders.
WHAT IS CHANGING?
Effective July 1, 2021, all current Service Agreements will expire on September 30, 2021, in the Meditech legacy system. A replacement purchase order will begin in the Infor SCM system on October 1, 2021.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
-
Requisition Service Agreements from July 1, 2021 – September 30, 2021, when applicable.
-
Working with Materials Management, all vendors will be notified of modifications to current Service Agreements and that their purchase order number will change on October 1, 2021, due to a new SCM system.
-
Stay current on all payment requests from your vendors. After September 30 2021, inform all of your vendors of the purchase order change as well as copies of all outstanding invoices that will be paid with the Meditech purchase order.
-
Meditech invoices need to be processed for payment no later than December 31, 2021.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Infor SCM will replace Meditech on September 20, 2021. On that date, we will begin transition of all supply chain functions to Infor SCM. The UMMS Accounts Payable team will continue to process outstanding invoices against Meditech purchase orders through December. The Meditech system will be decommissioned by the end of calendar year 2021.

ABOUT THE MOVE TO INFOR
Infor, which is already used by UMMS Human Resources, Payroll, Supply Chain, and Financial Management, is a best-in-class system which will increase automation, streamline processing and standardize reporting. Now, we’re expanding it to deliver these benefits System-wide.
