At MSD, we are committed to providing leading innovations and solutions as a premier, research-intensive biopharmaceutical company and continue to drive improved sourcing, procurement, and accounts payable processes across our business. We are pleased to announce that we decided to implement a program to transform our processes through a new partnership with SAP Ariba. This will enable important changes and benefits for our partnership.

Key Messages for Suppliers on use of the Ariba Network

• With the transition to a digital platform, all suppliers are required to transact with MSD on the Ariba Network
• Sourcing solution is implemented for all spend categories and all events will be launched via Ariba
• The solution supports end-to-end process management, from product specification, to sourcing and then contract management. Contract negotiations will be directly communicated and submitted via Ariba.
• The move to a digital platform increases visibility to orders, enables invoice submission and tracking of invoice status
• Electronic invoice submission will result in timely payments and reduce delays due to invoices getting lost or being received via manual methods
• A registration request for the Ariba Network, known as a Trading Relationship Request (TRR) will be sent with the first purchase order issued, and you must action on the request to set up your account
• Manual submission of invoices will be rejected by MSD and you will be asked to set up your Ariba Network account and resubmit invoices electronically
