CR 154: Sourcing to Buyer Integration • UAT has been scheduled and we are on track for implementation at the end of October.

• A webinar will be conducted on October 29 for users who have previously attended eQuote training. We plan to conduct another webinar in November. Current eQuote training includes information on this change.

• Highlights of this change include:– Customers can create eQuotes from requisitions.

– Once the eQuote is awarded in Sourcing, award information (such as description, price and vendor) will update the requisition.

– Customers will no longer need to maintain a separate password for Sourcing. Access to Sourcing will be synchronized with Buyer twice daily like Analysis.

– Agency system administrators will have the ability to assign the “Sourcing” or “Sourcing eQuote” group to customers using the User Maintenance eForm in Buyer.
