**0:** Data owners

**1:** Named per object

#### 7. Assumptions

**Body:** Customer provides timely access to subject matter experts and decisions within agreed turnaround times. Required environments and licences are available by the dates in the project plan. Any assumption proven wrong is handled through change control.

#### 8. Change control

**Body:** Any change to scope, schedule or price requires a written change request describing the change, its effect on effort, schedule and cost, and approval by both project managers before work starts.

#### 9. Acceptance

**Body:** Deliverables are accepted when they meet the agreed acceptance criteria. The customer will accept or give written reasons for rejection within an agreed number of business days of delivery.

#### Approvals

**Signatures:**

- Customer sponsor
- Partner delivery lead
- Customer procurement

**Notes:** This is a starting point, not legal advice. Have your legal and procurement teams review it, and align it with the master agreement. Add pricing tables, service levels and warranty terms as your contract requires.

## Content

**Intro:** A weak statement of work is the root of most ERP project disputes. This template gives you a clear outline for an IFS Cloud implementation with scope, exclusions, migration approach, roles, change control and acceptance, ready to export to Word or PDF.

**Sections:**

#### How to use the template

**Body:** Fill the fields for customer, partner, sites, IFS Cloud areas and go-live date, then edit the generated text. Complete the milestone table with real dates and acceptors. Share the draft with procurement, IT and process owners before it goes to the partner. A SOW that business owners have read is far easier to enforce than one only the project manager has seen.

#### Scope and exclusions

**Body:** Write scope in terms of business processes and sites, not just module names, and be explicit about what is excluded: historical data, custom integrations, reports, training and extra environments. Ambiguity about data migration and reporting is the usual source of change requests. State who cleanses data and who builds each interface.

**Bullets:**

- List every site and legal entity in scope.
- Name every integration and who builds it.
- State the number of mock loads and test cycles.

#### Commercial model and change control

**Body:** Fixed price per phase gives budget certainty if scope is stable; time and materials with a cap suits uncertain scope. Whichever you choose, the change control clause decides how disputes resolve. Require written change requests with effort, schedule and cost impact, and keep a running change log that both parties sign monthly.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** Customers often leave out their own responsibilities such as decision turnaround and data cleansing, so delays are blamed on the partner. Acceptance criteria written as vague statements invite argument; tie each deliverable to a test or signed document. Do not skip hypercare duration and exit criteria, since support handover is where many projects lose clarity.

**Cta:** If you want a second opinion on the technical scope, especially data migration and integrations, Netray can review the SOW and flag areas that tend to expand.

**Faq:**

#### Is this an official IFS document?

**Answer:** No. It is an independent generic outline for a statement of work. IFS and its partners have their own contract documents. Use this to structure your requirements and check a partner's draft.

#### Does this give legal protection?

**Answer:** No. It is a starting point and not legal advice. Your legal counsel must review it against the master agreement, liability, intellectual property and warranty terms.

#### How detailed should the scope be?

**Answer:** Detailed enough that a new project manager could tell whether a request is in or out of scope. Reference an appendix with the process list, interface list and object list rather than describing everything in the body.

#### Can I export to Word?

**Answer:** Yes. The tool exports the filled document as Word and PDF, and you can continue to edit the Word file with your own pricing and legal sections.
