A periodic informational email from the Fulton County Schools SAP Management Team
Change is in the air!	COUNTDOWN: 12 Days
By now, you’ve probably heard the buzz about SAP (pronounced ‘ess-ay-pee’…just like the letters!) and how it’s going to do great things for Fulton County Schools. This will be a major change for many employees who have used the existing business systems for many years.
First Phase of SAP “Goes Live” on October 1
On October 1, several longstanding FCSS business programs are being transitioned to SAP. These include ADPICS, ACT, and FAMIS. These programs will no longer exist in their present state. They will be replaced by newer – and better – programs in SAP that manage requisitioning (formerly ADPICS), facilities management (formerly ACT), and funds management (formerly FAMIS). Hundreds of Fulton County Schools employees have been training on the new programs for several months so the transition will be seamless.
New User ID and Password Required
Also on October 1, employees using SAP programs will require a new log-in and password. When you log on to SAP for the first time, your SAP ID and password will be as follows: User ID: Your Fulton County Schools e-mail prefix. For example, if your email address is  “smithjohn@fultonschools.org,” your SAP User ID is smithjohn. Password: Your initial password is welcome (all lowercase). Upon initial log-on, you will be prompted to change this password. Your new password should be six alpha numeric characters and will be case sensitive (do not use special characters such as: &, *, #). Passwords will expire every 30 days.
