New eProcurement Requisition Splitting Process and Suggested Reconciliation Practices

Due to a change in the underlying application supporting eProcurement, there will be changes in how purchases are charged to budgets. In the past, purchases were processed on the detail level and special customizations were put into place to itemize the expenditure against the departmental accounting structure (budget, object/sub object, task, option, and project). As in the past, orders will be entered into eProcurement with different budgets and object codes, but now they will be processed on separate purchase orders and charged separately by budget number and object code. Purchase orders and budget charging documents/transactions will have only have one budget number and one object code, so you may receive multiple EP (purchase order) numbers and multiple charges on the BAR for one S number (requisition number). For additional details view the .pdf.
