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:
| Supplier Type | ID # | Used for |
| Supplier NO $ VALUE | 0000043480 | Contract/Agreement signatures required that have zero dollar impact on the campus or your budget. (Ex. Student Placement, Non-Disclosure Agreement, etc.). |
| Supplier TO BID | 0000043479 | Informal or Formal bidding requests only. |
| Supplier NEW | 0000042333 | Onboarding a new supplier (AFTER it have been cleared with UP’s Independent Contractor vs employee process). |
| Supplier CREDIT CARD ONLY | 0000046418 |
|
| Supplier UNKNOWN (New) | 0000048284 | Supplier is not known but a department needs a product or service. This allows the C&PS Team to investigate options for your department. (Note: this process may still require University Personnel approval for Independent Contractors). |
