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:
| 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). |

New Functionality Added to FTS Requisition
A new functionality has been added to FTS Requisition.
Users will see the Calculate button display in the requisition. Clicking this button will automatically add the total of the Extended Amount of the requisition lines. Previously, the grand total was not visible until the requisition was submitted for approval, which made it challenging to validate correctness of the entries, especially when there were many lines in the requisition. With this new functionality, requesters can check the requisition total anytime as they complete their request.
If the Calculate button does not display in Google Chrome , then try one of the following to reload page:
- Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
- Hold down Ctrl and press F5.
For all other web browsers, click the Reload button.
