Miscellaneous Supplier Options

We have some important updates to share about the supplier options available when submitting a requisition in FTS. We are excited to share that we’ve introduced additional choices for the campus to select a supplier during the requisition process.

These updates are designed to provide more flexibility and streamline the requisition process, making it easier for departments to select the best supplier for their needs. By offering more options, we aim to improve efficiency and enhance the overall experience for everyone involved in procurement, from requesters to suppliers.

Below are the available options and guidelines on how to use them:
