The purchasing and finance systems that we use most often are managed by Supply Chain Management (SCM, formerly known as Materials Management). SCM is a Partners organization that covers many central corporate functions including supplies, purchasing, contracts, and vendor management. Most importantly for us, they are responsible for the important financial systems we use: eBuy for purchasing, eCheck system for subject compensation, and Expenses for submitting expense reports.

SCM Client Services Helpdesk
Client Services help desk: 617-726-2142
The Client Services Helpdesk is without doubt the most helpful helpdesk at Partners, so call them whenever you have a problem. Some of the situations Client Services can help you with are:
- If your subject complains that they haven’t received their check. Client Services can find out when the check was sent, what address it was sent to, and whether it was cashed. If the check hasn’t been cashed for over 45 days, they will stop payment and issue a new check.
- If a vendor says they haven’t been paid yet, call Client Services.
- If you need help submitting an expense report, or getting a reimbursement, call Client Services.
