1. Managing Contracts in MyFloridaMarketPlace Webinar
Welcome to the MyFloridaMarketPlace Contracts Workshop <OR TRAINING TOUR OR SEMINAR…>
Today, we are discussing the Contracts functionality within the MyFloridaMarketPlace system. MyFloridaMarketPlace, also known as MFMP, is the State of Florida’s electronic procurement system. This is the system where state agencies complete purchasing and invoicing activities. Agencies also have the ability to track their contract spend in MFMP, including spend against Agency Term Contracts, State Term Contracts, Interagency Contracts, or any other alternate contract sources.
Today’s training will focus on how to enter Contracts into MyFloridaMarketPlace. For detailed instructions on using MyFloridaMarketPlace, creating purchase orders (releases), or creating invoices, please see our on-line Training Tours or use the MFMP 3.0 Buyer Manual for step-by-step instructions.

Common Questions / Resources
Today we continue our MFMP Contracts journey to learn how to create releases on your contract and manage it in the system.
This includes creating releases, changing contracts, adjusting the amount of the contract in MFMP, and creating invoices against the contract.
Prior to taking todays webinar, you should be familiar with creating contracts in MFMP, how to create requisitions and how to create invoices in the system.

3. Creating Releases Against Contracts
Release Required is an option selectable when setting up a MFMP Contract Request.
Release Required indicates that a purchase order is required each time a purchase is made against the MFMP Contract.
To create a release (purchase order) against a contract, you create a MFMP requisition.
Contracts set up on the Contract Request as Release Required, requires a release or purchase order for each purchase.
To create a release, a purchase order, against a contract, create a requisition.
The only difference between setting up a requisition against an MFMP Contract and a regular requisition is the first steps of tying the requisition to the contract.

4. Creating Releases Against Contracts

8. Creating Releases Against Contracts
Create a Supplier or Commodity Requisition
For a Supplier or Commodity Level Contract, click the ‘non-catalog’ link and enter the line items to purchase.
Based on how your contract is set up, Supplier or Commodity Level, place a check in the line item or click non-catalog and enter the items to purchase.
Complete the requisition information and submit. For more information on creating requisitions, please join one of our Creating Requisitions Webinars.
Your Supplier level requisition allows you to purchase anything from the supplier that you are authorized to buy. The Commodity level requisition limits you to selecting specific commodities identified in the MFMP Contract.

9. Creating Releases Against Contracts
Create an Item Level Requisition
Item-level contracts present the catalog items to add to the requisition. These catalog items are the items that were established when the agency created the MFMP Contract Request.
Complete the requisition information and submit.
Now that we have walked through the key steps tie a requisition to an MFMP Contract, let’s move into the MFMP Training environment to demonstrate the process.
MFMP displays the available catalog items to add to your requisition.

Common Questions / Resources
There may be situations where customer need to make changes to an MFMP Contract. For example, an amendment to the Contract, changes to accounting or financial information or a change to the Contact.
To do this, change the Contract Request associated with the MFMP Contract. Once the authorized agency representative approves the changes, MFMP displays the amended MFMP Contract number as a version of the original number.

12. Changing a Contract Search for and select the Contract Request
To begin this process, search for the Contract Request to amend. If the agency has previously amended the contract, search using the original Contract Request number. MyFloridaMarketPlace returns the latest version in the results.
When the search results return, click the link to open the Contract Request.
When searching for the Contract Request, remember that the Contract and the Contract Request have the same number, with a different prefix. Contracts begin with C, Contract Requests begin with CR.
To add an attachment to an approved contract, you have to edit the contract, however, comments do not require a change.

13. Changing a Contract Click the Change button
To see the edit box, you have to have Edit Access on the MFMP Contract.
Click the ‘Change’ button on the Contract Request. The system opens the Contract Request with a left hand navigation bar showing the 6 areas of the Contract Request.
Use the navigation bar on the left hand side to go to the specific area you need to change. For example, if you need to update the accounting information, you can click on the ‘Pricing Terms’ link to go to that area and make changes.
Update the Contract Request information and enter ‘Comments’ to document the changes. When you are done, click ‘Submit.’
Some fields are not editable on a Contract Request when doing a change. These fields are:
MFMP Contract Type
Release Required, and
Currency
There are fields within the ‘Pricing Terms’ area that cannot be modified when completing a change. These fields are:
Description
Commodity Code
Supplier Part Number
Supplier Auxiliary Part ID, and
Unit of Measure
MFMP routes the updated Contract Request to the appropriate approvers. Once approved, the updated Contract number contains an updated version number. This is represented by the “V” after the initial Contract number. For example: CR2319-v2

Adjusting a Contract Amount
Creating Invoices against Contracts
Common Questions / Resources
There are situations where an agency customer may need to adjust an amount for a Contract.

15. Adjusting a Contract Amount
Key Terms
Restoring Dollars - adds money back to your MFMP Contract.
Depleting Dollars - removes money from your MFMP Contract.
Restoring and Depleting dollars are two of the terms we discuss in this section.

16. Adjusting a Contract Amount
MFMP restores or depletes dollars to the contracts available balance. Restoring is the adding of funds back and depleting is the reduction of funds to the available balance listed on the MFMP Contract.
For example, this may occur if someone creates an invoice against a contract, processes it through MFMP and a warrant issued. If Finance and Accounting needs to cancel the warrant, the funds need to be restored, added, to the available balance of the contract.

17. Adjusting a Contract Amount
Overview of how to draw down funds against MFMP Contracts
When a customer makes a payment in MFMP against a MFMP Contract, or a purchase order associated to a MFMP contract, MFMP reduces the Contract dollars when the invoice goes to’ Paid’ status.
If a customer establishes a PCard purchase against a MFMP Contract, MFMP reduces the dollars from the Contract as soon as the purchase order goes into ‘Ordered’ status.
When a customer creates a requisition against a Contract in MFMP and the form of payment is not PCard, MFMP reduces the money from the Contract at the time of payment, not when MFMP encumbers the funds and sends the order to the vendor.
If a customer creates a requisition and selects the PCard indicator as the form of payment, MFMP reduces the money from the Contract as soon as the purchase order goes into ‘Ordered’ status and MFMP sends the purchase order to the vendor.

18. Adjusting a Contract Amount
Overview of how to draw down funds against MFMP Contracts
If the agency needs to adjust the contract available amount only specific MFMP customers can restore or deplete money to the Contract. These customers are:
Contract initiator (Preparer)
Contract Contact
Customers with ‘edit’ permission for the Contract
In a scenario where a contract available amount needs to be adjusted, there are specific MFMP customers that can restore or deplete money to the Contract. These customers are:
The Contract initiator (or preparer)
The Contact, which should be the Contract Manager or the person designated to manage the contract in MFMP. This could be the same as the preparer
Customers with the ‘edit’ permission for the Contract
Let’s take a look at the steps you would take to adjust Contract amounts.

19. Adjusting a Contract Amount
Click ‘Restore Contract Amount’
To begin the process of restoring a Contract Amount, click on the ‘Restore Contract Amount’ link in the Common Actions area.
Click on ‘Restore Contract Amount’ in the Common Actions.

20. Adjusting a Contract Amount
Complete ‘Restore Contract’ eForm
Enter a Title based on your agency’s titling conventions.
Select the MFMP Contract number.
Select the radio button for ‘Restoring Dollars’ or ‘Depleting Dollars’.
Enter the dollar amount to restore or deplete.
Enter Comments and click Submit.
On the ‘Restore Contract’ eForm:
Enter a Title for the eForm based on the agency’s titling conventions.
Select the Contract number to which MFMP should restore the balance.
Select the radio button for ‘Restoring Dollars’ or ‘Depleting Dollars.’
Restoring Dollars adds money back to your Contract. This may occur due to a warrant that is cancelled.
Depleting Dollars removes money from your Contract. This may occur due to a loss of funding.
Enter the dollar amount to restore or deplete.
Enter Comments and click submit.
Once you complete the information on this form and click submit, the dollar amount is restored or depleted to the selected contract. This action is real-time as it requires no approvals.
Remember, if this Contract is encumbered, you may need to take additional actions directly in FLAIR.

Common Questions / Resources
Now let’s look at creating invoices against our contract or the release for the contract.
For more information about creating an invoice in MyFloridaMarketPlace, please join one of our regularly scheduled Creating an Invoice Webinars or take the Invoice Training Tour at your convenience.

22. Creating Invoices Against Contracts
Key Terms
PO-Based Invoice – Invoice for contracts with release (purchase order).
Contract-Based Invoice – Invoice created directly against the contract, no release (purchase order).
Key terms for this section include PO-based and Contract-based invoice. In MFMP the invoice begins the audit process to create a warrant.
The main difference between a PO-based and Contract-based invoice is that customers create PO-based invoices against the purchase order or release for a contract, and create Contract-based invoices directly against the MFMP Contract.

23. Creating Invoices Against Contracts
Use a PO-based invoice for MFMP Contracts set as ‘Release Required’
Select ‘PO-based Invoice’ from the Common Actions area.
Use a PO-based invoice to create invoices for Contracts set up as “Release Required.” This means that the Contract requires a purchase order for each purchase made against the Contract.
To create a PO-based invoice, log in to MFMP and click ‘PO-based invoice’ under Create in your Common Actions box.

24. Creating Invoices Against Contracts
Complete the Invoice fields, searching for and entering the for the Purchase Order and Vendor Location.
Use the navigation steps on the left hand side of the screen to guide you through the process.
Complete the required fields, remember that if this is for a service, to enter the Service Start and End date as required by Department of Financial Services.
Attach a copy of the invoice and submit.

25. Creating Invoices Against Contracts
Create invoices from contracts in one of two ways:
Contract-based invoice or
From the invoice button on the Contract or Contract Request.
Creating invoices from the Contract or Contract reduces data entry. MFMP enters the Contract number and Supplier information.
Select ‘Contract-based Invoice’ from the Common Actions area.
Enter the information for the invoice.
Attach a copy of the paper invoice.
Submit.
If your contract is set up as “No Release Required,” create a Contract-based invoice.
You can do this in one of two ways:
Select ‘Contract-based Invoice’ under Common Actions OR
Navigate to the MFMP Contract or Contract Request and click the ‘Invoice’ button
Both of these options require the same information; however, if you create your invoice from the MFMP Contract, the system reduces your data entry because MFMP populates your supplier location and the contract number for you.

26. Creating Invoices Against Contracts
Search for the Contract and complete the invoice
Search for the Contract.
Once you click on the ‘Contract-based Invoice’ link, enter the invoice information. Remember- if you are creating this directly from the contract, the vendor location and the Contract number will pre-populate for you.
Use the navigation steps on the left hand side of the screen to guide you through the process.
The key difference between a PO-Based and Contract-Based invoice is that you will search for and select the MFMP Contract number for the invoice, instead of the Purchase Order number.
Once you complete the invoice information, submit the invoice for approval and payment. This invoice and payment information will tie to and reflect as part of the Contract and the payment history for that Contract.
If this is a Service invoice, MFMP routes the invoice to the ‘Contact’ on the MFMP Contract for approval before routing it to finance and accounting.
Click the Invoice button.
MFMP enters the contract number and the supplier information.

Common Questions / Resources
Now, lets review some frequently asked questions and review the MyFloridaMarketPlace resources to help you along your MyFloridaMarketPlace journey.

29. Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why don’t I see a ‘Change’ button on a Contract Request I am trying to edit? 
Answer: There are two primary reasons a customer will not see a ‘Change’ button on a Contract Request:
The user did not create the initial Contract Request; or
The user was not granted ‘edit’ access to the Contract as part of the ‘Define Access Control’ step when the contract was created.
Question: Do the rules for attaching and deleting attachments for Contracts work the same way as they do in the rest MFMP 3.0?  Is the person who adds an attachment or a comment the only person who can delete the attachment or comment too?
Answer: Yes, these rules function consistently across MFMP The person who adds an attachment or comment is the person who can delete the attachment or comment.
The next couple of slides contain some frequently asked questions.

30. Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Are any fields on a Contract Request locked from updates after the initial contract creation? 
Answer: Customers can edit only select fields on a Contract Request when making a change. Fields not available to edit are:
MFMP Contract Type
Release Required
Currency
There are also fields within the ‘Pricing Terms’ area that cannot be modified when doing a change. These fields are:
Description
Commodity Code
Supplier Part Number
Supplier Auxiliary Part ID
Unit of Measure

31. Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Is there a file size limit for Contract attachments? 
Answer: While there is not a specified limit for total attachment size (across all files uploaded to a particular contract), each unique file must be four megabytes (MB) or less.
Question: If I am on the Summary page, and I change my Commodity or Item level contract to a Supplier Level contract, are the pricing terms the only thing that is impacted?  Or are there other fields I would have to modify?
Answer: The pricing terms area is the only section impacted after updating the contract type.

32. Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What if I realize  (while I am on the Summary page) that I selected the wrong supplier?  If I change the supplier, are there additional updates to make?
Answer: If you change the supplier on the Summary tab (or by one of the approvers), you must re-enter only the pricing terms. All other fields of the contract remain unchanged.
Question: If I add approvers to the Contract Request, can they make edits?
Answer: Approvers that have the Contract group can make edits to the Contract Request as an approver. If someone is added to the workflow that does not have the Contract group, he / she will not be able to make edits to the Contract Request. Instead, the approver would see only the following options: Approve, Deny, Excel Export, and Print.
