5. Free Text Shopping Cart – Overview The first step in creating a Free Text Shopping Cart is obtaining a quote from a supplier. As the name “Free Text” implies, the Shopper enters the line items directly into the cart via freehand rather than selecting from punch-out catalogs. The Shopper attaches the quote to the Free Text Shopping Cart during the creation process. Free Text carts frequently, although not always, originate from suppliers holding a University Price Contract or other agreement. If needed, the Price Contracts listing can be found on the Purchasing website at: http://www.uky.edu/Purchasing/. http://www.uky.edu/Purchasing/ All Free Text Shopping Carts require approval regardless of dollar amount. The carts route to Purchasing after approval and are processed manually based on established protocols. Important: Be sure to create Free Text carts independently of punch-out catalog orders. Due to workflow routing, a single cart cannot contain a mix of punch-out and Free Text items. SRM Free Text Carts 5
