Purchasing - Implementation Plans

Will be implemented as is, with no customizations, but purchasing client will not be put on desktops. Independent web requisitioning. Catalog ordering, vendor orders etc, will still be handled by the purchasing staff.

Purchasing will continue to use a web form, either existing or redesigned, for end-user input.

Will need to focus on linking the pro card to purchasing. Will switch to PSFT pro card if to our benefit. Ours has link to dept accounting. Does PSFT financials give us everything Dept Acctg gives us. If not, and if depts keep something like dept acctg, we will keep our procurement card.

Vendor file - continuing to do analysis . Trying to determine which purchasing and accounts payable vendors and do they link. Purchasing doesn’t always have the information to get information in correctly. Likely to start from scratch. We don’t know from what we have now which addresses match. (Multiple addresses to pay for single vendor).

Payment terms, shipping terms, XLAT tables. They are not customizations -- just tables.
