Project Background
• Honeywell PMT was using JP Morgan Chase “Xign” Payment solution to collaborate with
suppliers over a secure electronic settlement network to manage purchase orders,
invoices and payments.
• PMT Procurement was looking to replace Xign, allowing suppliers to gain “real-time”
invoice and payment status and also allowing accelerated payments in exchange for
early payment discounts.
• Several payment & supplier collaboration networks were evaluated & eventually PMT
selected the Ariba Network, which offers end to end collaboration services covering POs,
acknowledgements, ASN and invoices
• Honeywell PMT had about 450 suppliers to be “on-boarded” to the Ariba Network –
providing key advantages to both the buy-side and supply-side solutions and allowing for
increased supplier collaboration.

Lessons Learned
Solution Design
• Engage AP process driver ahead of time & ensure he/she is part of
the process
• Understand the open PO migration requirements, start the
conversation during the design phase
• Involve IT before selecting the integration option
• Clearly define a process in terms of how to handle the invoices which
are failed in SAP
