MFMP Contracts

Operational documents that support the legal contracts between vendors and the State of Florida. In MFMP, contracts facilitate the operational procure-to-pay processes, which allows customers to track and manage their two-party agreements.

Things to know:

• Ability to track contract spend

• Define the scope of a purchase

• Manage blanket purchase orders (BPO)

• Document multi-year agreements

• MFMP only routes the contract release to the vendor for release required contracts

• MFMP contracts do not auto-encumber

‒ Funds should be encumbered in the Florida Accounting Information Resource system (FLAIR), then recorded on the MFMP contract request (CR)

MFMP Contracts

*

An MFMP contract can be used to facilitate:

• Agency Term Contracts: Agreements between an agency and a vendor

• Interagency Contracts: Agreements between agencies

• Alternate Contract Sources: Federal, state or local government contracts that have been deemed by the Department of Management Services (DMS) as cost-effective

• State Term Contracts: Used by DMS, State Purchasing to track state term contracts

MFMP Contracts

*

AGENDA

Contact is the person who:

• Owns and manages the contract in MFMP

‒ Note: If someone other than the owner of the contract enters the data into MFMP, they are considered the Preparer

• Approves service invoices

• Attaches documentation required by Department of Financial Services

Agency Role

*

What is an MFMP contract request?

The initial contract information a customer populates in MFMP about the contract. Agencies use the contract request (CR) function to establish and approve the contract (C) in MFMP similar to the way you would use a requisition to establish a PO.

MFMP Contract Request

*

Allows any order of goods/services from a specific supplier. Select when the contract has a high-level description of products. Example: General maintenance BPO

Allows orders of goods/services by commodity code from a supplier. Select when the contract has similar commodity types. Example: Pharmaceuticals

Choosing the Contract Level

Allows orders of only specific goods/services from a supplier. Select when the contract line items are well-defined. Example: Auto parts or printer leases

Item

Commodity

Supplier

MFMP offers three different contract levels (item, commodity, and supplier). Here are some general guidelines on how to choose the appropriate level.

Things to know:

There are several considerations to keep in mind when deciding which contract level to use. Before selecting a level ask the following questions:

✓ How many items are on the contract?

✓ Are the items specific and well-defined?

✓ Does each item have a fixed unit price or rate?

MFMP Contract Level

*

What is an MFMP contract release?

A release is a request to “release” funds against an MFMP contract. Releases are similar to POs in that customers will need to create a requisition that is tied to a contract; the release is often referred to as a PO.

Note: In order for funds to be released from a contract, the MFMP contract number must be tied to the requisition.

MFMP Contract Releases

*

Release Required

• Allows direct invoicing from the contract without requiring a specific release

• Select No if releases are not necessary and they can be invoiced directly

• Requires authorized users on the MFMP contract to create releases for all purchases

• Select Yes if the vendor requires a release for each purchase

VSRelease Required No Release Required

To release funds from a contract, MFMP gives agencies two contract options.

PO-Based vs Contract Based Invoices

PO-Based Invoice • Created when the

contract is set up as release required

• Customers create PO-based invoices based on the release (PO) and the submitted invoice from the vendor

Contract-Based Invoice • Created when the

contract is set up as not release required

• Customers create Contract-based invoices directly against the contract once the vendor submits the invoice

Once a purchase has been made and the vendor submits their paper/email invoice, an authorized customer will need to create one of the following invoice types in MFMP:

*

Creating Contract Invoices

• Select the PO-based Invoice link to begin creating an invoice for a release required contract

• Complete the required invoice fields such as, Supplier Invoice #, Vendor Location, and Purchase Order


• Select the Contract-based Invoice link to begin creating invoices for contracts that are not release required

• Complete the required invoice fields such as, Supplier Invoice #, Vendor Location, and Contract

*


• Customers may also create contract-based invoices within the contract by clicking the Invoice button

• MFMP automatically enters the contract number and supplier information into the invoice

*

What should you do?

You created a release against one of your MFMP contracts. The following week you received a paper invoice from the vendor

What should you do?

A: Create a PO-based invoice.

B: Create a contract-based invoice.

C: You do not have to create an invoice.
