26. ePro Hot Topics  A Catalog Viewer Role has been created.  Introducing the CORE-10

27. ePro Hot Topics Catalog Viewer Role  The Catalog Viewer role will allow eProcurement Approvers the ability to view items in the catalog, validate pricing and ensure that the most cost effective items are selected.  This role would allow users access to the catalog search screen in the eProcurement module but would not allow the user the “Save and Submit” the requisition.

28. ePro Hot Topics CORE-10  The Core-10 will be replacing the DOIT-10 system that agencies currently use for IT Procurements, the DAS paper SP- 10 and the Standardization Transaction paper process.  These processes will all start as eProcurement requisitions.  A new role has been created named CT Multi Requestor which will allow the user access to the CORE-10 drop-down box and CORE-10 Attribute links on the Create Requisition page.  For those Agencies that do not currently use the eProcurement Module, the IT Managers will be coordinating security, roles & workflow to provide access to the new functionality.  Those Agencies that do use eProcurement will have the new role assigned to specific users as identified by the IT Managers.

32. PO Reminders Batch processes now run at 10am, 12pm, 3pm and overnight. If a PO is opened but not changed, click Cancel to close the document – not Save. Cannot reduce and cancel a PO in one step. First reduce to the amount expended. Wait for Budget Check to complete - then Cancel. When doing a change order to a PO sourced from a requisition, always answer “No” when asked if you want to re-source, return open quantity or re-open the requisition. If a PO does not show up when trying to receive or invoice, check the status of the PO. It must be in Dispatched status. If a PO does not show up on the approval worklist.

33. PO HOT TOPICS  Creating separate run controls for Dispatch, Pending Cancel and Print purchase orders will ensure proper processing.  PO Obligation should be equal to the net amount due on open POs IF there has been more than one PO issued per contract.

34. Pending Cancel and Dispatch Run Control Navigation: Purchasing > Purchase Orders > Dispatch Purchase Orders

35. Print PO Run Control Navigation: Purchasing > Purchase Orders > Review PO Information > Print POs

36. PO Obligation should be equal to the net amount due on open POs IF there has been more than one PO issued per contract. Example: DOC issues a two year PSN contract for religious services. The contract is copied into PO 70403 which is to be used for the life of the contract. The PO Obligation page would be represented as follows: PO Obligation

37. PO Obligation should be equal to the net amount due on open POs IF there has been more than one PO issued per contract. After only $5000 was expended on PO 70403, the PO was inadvertently closed. A new PO was issued for the balance. The PO Obligation on the new PO must reflect only the amount due on the open PO, not the entire amount of the contract: PO Obligation
