HP Separation update for Global Procurement Suppliers*
Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) is preparing to separate into two new industry-leading public companies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. HP’s Global Procurement team is reaching out to you as a current supplier to help you prepare.
Preparing for the transition
Our aim is to ensure business continuity for both future companies – and for you, our valued supplier. We’re committed to ensuring current engagements – such as purchase orders, statements of work and contingent worker engagements – are successfully migrated to the correct future company. Where appropriate, HP will be initiating new transactions to cover Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc.
What to expect and when
On the HP Supplier Portal in the “Learn more about HP’s Separation” section, you will find more information about HP’s Separation including Frequently Asked Questions from our suppliers, the Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) Schedule**, and other useful information and tools. Please note that information will be updated as it becomes available, so please check back regularly for the latest.
Please make special note of the following information related to invoicing:
• Invoicing to the future companies will become effective as of 1 August**, 1 September**, 1 October** depending on Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) date. Refer to the Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) Schedule for a list of countries and their applicable Implementation (Operational Cutover) date.
• All invoices generated prior to the Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) date will continue to follow existing processes. We recommend you invoice HP before the Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) date for all goods and/or services delivered.
• All invoices generated on or after Country Implementation (Operational Cutover) date must reference the correct future company information and be sent to the correct postal or electronic address. In some instances the company name and/or bill to information will remain the same.
• To assist suppliers in updating their invoices with the correct information, we will provide a Purchase Order Look-Up tool in mid-July**. This will be available on the HP Supplier Portal. HP Suppliers can use this tool to look up their Purchase Order numbers and validate the correct future company information to include on invoices.
• HP will issue updated Purchase Order details from the correct future company to each supplier starting mid-August.
• For details of how to request US tax exemption certificates from future Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., suppliers should visit the HP Supplier Portal “Learn more about HP’s Separation” section.
