What is FORD?
The new Faculty of Medicine organisational structure was implemented on 1st January 2010.
We are now updating all College business systems to reflect this new structure. This project is called FORD – Faculty Organisational Restructure Delivery.
Benefits:• Simplifying processes for academic and administrative staff• Simpler and more logical management of information• Streamlined coding structures and processes• Data cleansing

Building blocks
Each unit with the College is identified by a code, or building block. These appear in a large number of College systems.
The current Faculty of Medicine building blocks are 4 or 5 letters in length and all begin with a D.
To recognise the Faculty’s new structure, these D codes are being replaced by new 4 letter codes beginning with a W.
The new building blocks are streamlined and structured to make them easier to use and understand. The Faculty has reduced its number of building blocks from over 300 to 125.

HR
From 1st August over 6,000 employees, honorary staff, visitors, casuals, etc. will be moved to a new code in the W structure.
This will also update the College directory and Personal Web Pages (PWPs), so everyone will be shown in their correct SID and Division/Section.
All payroll charging (Labour Distribution) will also be updated to new W codes.
ICIS HR users will have new responsibilities to the appropriate W codes.
No action needed!

Research: InfoEd
The new building blocks have been set up in InfoEd and over 13,000 proposals will be moved into the new structure.
Approval hierarchies have been updated to reflect new SID structures.
No action needed!
![Page 16: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Research: ICIS Grants
12,000 research awards and projects will be moved to their new W codes.
ICIS Grants users will have new responsibilities to the appropriate W codes.
Existing project numbers will not change and will still show their original D code, e.g. P12345_DABC.
New project numbers will show their new W code, e.g. P67890_WXYZ.
![Page 17: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Purchasing: iProcurement – non-project account
When purchasing against a non-project GL account (e.g. F or G accounts), you will need to use a new W cost centre/activity code combination, with the cost centre beginning W instead of D.
You can’t use an existing account combination and just change the D to a W.
A code mapping will be available on the FORD website (details later).
![Page 19: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Purchasing: iProcurement – non-project account
![Page 20: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Purchasing: iProcurement – research account
When purchasing against a research account (P or R), use the existing project number which will not change.
The new W code for the project will automatically appear under “Expenditure Organization”.
![Page 21: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Purchasing: iProcurement
Pending purchase orders currently in the system will be mapped to new W codes so will remain valid.
New security rules and approval authorisations have been set up for the new W codes. Depending on how SIDs have structured their new rules, this may mean that different people will now approve your purchases.
More work will be done to streamline the approval process in the coming weeks.
![Page 22: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Finance
When using all finance systems, remember to use your new W codes. For example:
![Page 23: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Reporting
Discoverer reports• If you have any Discoverer reports with parameters to select cost centres
using D codes, you will need to update them to use the new W codes.
Reports2Web• Since these reports are driven by project numbers, no action is needed.
![Page 24: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Where do I find my new codes?
Go to the FORD website: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/ford/ and download the code mapping spreadsheet for your SID. If your old account is marked as “CLOSE”, contact your SID administration team for a new code.
The website also includes new organisation charts with W codes.
![Page 25: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Access to old D codes
Most users will have access to the old D codes revoked as the accounts are being closed.
Some staff will be granted access to the old codes for reporting/accounting purposes. If you do not have the access that you need, please contact your SID administration team.
Historical research project information will still be available in ICIS Grants.
![Page 26: The FORD Programme: What you need to know Neil Young James Robinson Faculty of Medicine Centre.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d2f5503460f94a067fa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How to get help and resolve any issues
Despite the huge volumes of data being updated, there should be minimal impact on staff.
If you do encounter any problems, please check the FORD website for information and advice. If this does not resolve your issue, please contact your SID administration team who will escalate if necessary.
