MC Finance Integration March 10, 2010 Design Workshop
Agenda for Session 1 - Summary • Scope • Phase 0 Architecture • Phase 1 Architecture • Phase 0 Recommendation • Phase 1 – Key decisions • Phase 1 – Timeline • 2011 Transitions … • When legal entities are expected to be consolidated • When payrolls are expected to be consolidated • RICE List
Summary of Recommendations for Financial Integration – Phase 1 • Business Group • The recommendation is to have one business group which will house employees from both BCG and RCG. This helps in quickly adapting to the new organization structure. • Set of Books • The recommendation is to have one set of books. The set of books can house multiple legal entities thus meeting the statutory requirement and at the same time minimizing the burden of maintaining multiple set of books. • Operating Unit • The recommendation is to have one operating unit. This provides the capability to easily integrate financial functions in the short term and supply chain functions in the long term. • Reporting Tools • Spreadsheet Server primarily; Business Intelligence to follow
Summary of Recommendations for Financial Integration – Phase 1 • Legal Entities (Modeled by Company Segment in Chart of Accounts) • We will add company values for RCG LLC, Store Support and potentially a separate company value for Store Support Canada. This needs to be confirmed. • COA Structure in Peoplesoft • The recommendation is continue the current JDE COA for 2010. The feeds (payroll and garnishments) will be mapped to MC COA using the mapping utility. • For 2011 and beyond, feeds (payroll and garnishments) from Peoplesoft should reflect EBS COA. HR/Payroll team target end of 2010 for consolidated payroll for MC. • COA Structure in Legacy (R6000 and 7i). • The recommendation is continue the current legacy COA in 2010. The journals will be mapped to the MC COA using the COA mapping utility. • For 2011 and beyond, consider a Phase 2 to replace RCG COA in legacy with EBS COA. The effort to do this is being assessed. This could be performed in parallel with payroll consolidation and standardization of departments across systems (EBS, RS6000, PeopleSoft, etc) within Masco Cabinetry.
Phase 1 – Implementation Strategy • Phase 1 timeline is independent of the timeline to relocate the finance department into a new HQ location • For Phase 1 go-live and operation – we expect to have 1 logical finance department operating out of 2 physical locations (Adrian and Middlefield) • Finance team (in Middlefield) would be trained on Oracle EBS, so they can function in their roles • With Phase 1 implementation, there will be a single close process. Training across the finance function (both Adrian and Middlefield) will be required to make this successful.
Transition Tasks for 2011 (upon legal entity consolidation) • Retire selected “company” values in MC COA • COA mapping from RCG to MC COA to reflect mapping to active “company” values • Purchasing/Receiving: update configurations to reflect active “company” values • iExpense: Consolidate T&E templates to reflect operational “company” values • Fixed Assets – Mass Update to reflect updated “company” values • Payables – SLA for accounting by company will no longer be required
Major Design Tasks • Functional Specifications for RICE - ~500 - 600 hours • COA Mapping ~ 120 hours • Document procedure for creating each journal for closing (~300 manual journals) • Training for RCG team on Oracle
Some concerns • Have we understood all reporting requirements • Significant RICE for Phase 1 • Forecast Vs Budget • Finance resource availability – co-locate to speed up decision making
Phase 2 – for January 2011 Standardize use of MC COA across MC systems: • Oracle EBS – consolidate and standardize list of values for each MC COA segment • Department (major effort) • Product • LOB • Market (consistency in level of detail) • PeopleSoft – in conjunction with consolidating payroll for Jan 2011, map payroll directly to MC COA (eliminate intermediate mappings to old BCG COA and RCG COA) • Legacy (RS6000 and other legacy applications) • Push down MC COA so COA mapping can be eliminated • Replace monthly semi-manual journals with automated daily integration to GL
Agenda for Session 2 - EBS Structure Decisions • Business Group and Employee Data, • RCG Legal Entities (Company Segment), • Structure for US and International Operations
Agenda for Session 3 – COA Mapping and Reporting • EBS and RCG COA Mapping Strategy, • Advanced Cost Accounting , • Reporting
Agenda for Session 4 – AP & Procurement • AP/PO by Legal Entity, • Procure to Pay Conversion Strategy, • Procurement Card Process, • Receipt Correction Process. • Procurement Scope: • Fixed Assets across the enterprise • Expense purchasing for HQ(s) only
Procurement Scope (Dana Bilski) • Fixed Assets across the enterprise • Expense purchases for HQ(s) • Plant MRO purchases will stay on 7i
Agenda for Session 5 – iExpense & Payroll • iExpense • Payroll • Garnishments
