11 SHOP – Search Results 11

13 SHOP  Required fields at Checkout Department and Unit infer but can be changed Auto Numbering checkbox is checked User must enter Code, Shipping Location, Billing Location and Delivery Date 13

14 Requisition Buyer Team Assignment Requisition (RQS) assignment to a Buyer Team is based on the threshold set on the Universal Requestor (URCTRL) table. For each Commodity Code there is a dollar threshold listed for each Department. 14

15 Requisition Buyer Team Assignment  In the example below: RQS < $1,000 assigned to Arts Council RQS > $1,000 assigned to OMPS 15

16 Requisition Buyer Team Assignment 16  The Threshold Information section lists an Under Buyer Team and Over Buyer Team for each entry. In 3.10, the RQS will assign based on the Total Amount and the final Buyer Team assignment when the document is submitted for Approval.  The RQS assignment will change as the document amount fluctuates until it is submitted.

17 Solicitation Buyer Assignment  To ensure a standalone Solicitation lists the correct buyer on VSS: The Buyer must be listed on the Buyer Table The Unit Cost or the Contract amount (depending on Line Type) must be left blank on each commodity line  If the final Solicitation does not list the correct buyer, update the Procurement folder with the correct buyer. The update will post to VSS during the next regular cycle. 17
