Page - 5 Current Failed Purchase Order Notification Process The Customer Service Desk (CSD) identifies failed purchase orders (PO) due to problems with the vendor’s preferred ordering method (fax or ). The CSD attempts to send the PO via an alternative method (e.g. if previously fax, they will try , etc.). The CSD will not attempt to resend the PO if the vendor has already been flagged for having invalid data (ID XX/XX). If the PO is still unsuccessful, the CSD will attempt to contact the vendor by phone and get current information from them, send the order and update the vendor’s information in Vendor Registration. The agency only receives notification that the PO was resent successfully if the PO had attachments. The agency will be notified in this communication to send the attachments directly to the vendor as they are unable to. NOTE: if there are no attachments then the agency is never notified.
Page - 6 Current Failed Purchase Order Notification Process cont. If the CSD cannot contact the vendor, the vendor’s name will be marked with Invalid Data, the month and year this is effective. Ex: Geyer Painting Inc. ID: 08/07(001_Geyer Painting Inc. Tallahassee).Geyer Painting Inc. ID: 08/07(001_Geyer Painting Inc. Tallahassee) If the vendor cannot be contacted, the agency is notified about the failed PO and the CSD will stop attempting to contact the vendor to send the PO. If an agency chooses to continue to submit orders to a vendor flagged as having invalid data, the CSD is not required to continue to try and send the PO. We request that agencies assist us by reaching out to vendors, and getting them to update their information in Vendor Registration.
Page - 7 MFMP Failed Purchase Order Notification A report request has been submitted to capture and report failed PO information. This report will assist agencies in knowing what POs failed, why, and the timeframe from when the PO failed to when the agency is notified the PO is successfully sent. Report Fields: Date PO failed to send Reason PO failed to send Date successfully sent to the vendor Method successfully sent to the vendor Date agency notified Agency Name PUI OBO Vendor Name Vendor FEID DO #
Page - 8 OptionTarget Notification Time Impacts Agencies are notified when the PO fails and are responsible for reaching out to the vendor 1 business day Quick turnaround to agency when PO fails; but added work for agency staff (i.e., contacting vendor, getting PO and attachments to vendor) Agency would now get all failed orders, including those that the CSD currently resends without having to involve agency (e.g., vendor’s fax machine was turned off) CSD tries to resend order via an alternate method. If the vendor is not reached, the agency is notified within 2 business days 2 business days CSD may be able to make contact with vendor and therefore prevent agency from having to resend PO Agency will still be contacted to send attachments CSD tries to contact the vendor via all methods ( , fax, and phone). If the vendor is not reached, the agency is notified within 4 business days 4 business days CSD exhausts all available contact methods, and may be able to make contact with vendor and therefore prevent agency from having to resend PO Agency will still be contacted to send attachments Proposed Options (Going Forward)
Page - 9 Operational Reporting History Last Fall, several agencies indicated that there were additional MyFloridaMarketPlace reporting needs Since that time, additional agency requested reports as well as upgraded system search export functionality in MFMP 2.0 have provided expanded options for users The team would still like to investigate any additional reporting needs Depending on the additional needs, a change request may be needed to provide an operational reporting solution Today There are several reporting solutions currently available: System search export Analysis Reports posted to the FTP site Over 25 reports are run and posted daily 3 reports are run and posted weekly 7 reports are run and posted monthly
Page - 10 Operational Reporting The team is investigating reporting solutions, including the following: New reporting database New MFMP environment to be used for reporting Enhanced report request functionality Access database Agencies are permitted to have 8 report requests implemented per month Next Steps Discuss reporting needs Select CRB design team

Page - 12 Agency buyers utilize MFMP information for making purchasing decisions User is able to identify available ‘green’ products from MFMP catalog search results Report myGreenFlorida User completes purchasing process myGreenFlorida provides reporting data for enterprise analysis of ‘green’ spend Executive Order / MFMP enhancements
Page - 13 Functional Steps within MFMP Step 1: User adds catalog items to a requisition and can specifically search for ‘green’ products within MFMP
Page - 14 Functional Steps within MFMP Step 2: User is presented with a set of search results with a ‘green’ indicator included as part of the product description. As an example icon, a tree is used to indicate a green catalog item. The user then uses the ‘Add to Cart’ button to include as part of the requisition. This allows line item data to be captured and ultimately used for reporting purposes.
