MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Role of the CRB / Design Approval Teams
The Change Review Board (CRB) is an integral part of the upgrade process providing direction and feedback
Regular meetings are conducted to address design questions, prioritize change requests, and to validate team assumptions for development
Design Approval Teams have been created for each change request that is being implemented as part of MFMP 2.0
The Design Approval Team is involved in design review, testing and a post implementation survey of the system enhancement. Specifically, the team will: Review, provide input to, and approve designs Conduct user acceptance testing after development is complete Complete a system enhancement survey after the implementation of the
change request

MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Overview of Benefits/Enhancements
Change Requests (CRs) included as part of the upgrade: CR 3: Payment History (Current amount remaining displayed for purchase
order with IR history page)
CR 6: Ability to Edit Requisitions with a ‘Hold Until Date’ in FLAIR integration
CR 25: Invoice eForm validation
CR 27: Ability to correct receiving report via ‘negative receipting’

MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Overview of Benefits/Enhancements
CR 3: Payment History (Current amount remaining displayed for purchase order with IR history page ) A new field will be added to the purchase order (PO) to indicate the
outstanding PO balance. This will be a monetary display and will be non editable
The initial value of this field is the total of the PO. When an IR against a PO goes to “Paid” status, the total of the non-disputed lines will be subtracted from the outstanding balance. This balance will be reflected as a header level amount of the PO, not a line item level amount
Additionally a new field/table will be added to the PO to hold a list of all IRs created against a given purchase order (including previous versions of the PO)
The list of IRs will be displayed in a table format on the PO header with links to the individual IRs. The table will display the IR number (with a link to the actual IR), paid date (warrant date), and IR total amount

MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Overview of Benefits/Enhancements
CR 6: Ability to Edit Requisitions with a ‘Hold Until Date’ in FLAIR integration Requisitions that have a ‘hold until’ date (e.g., July 1st) and are submitted
prior to that hold until date will now be accessible for updates
This functionality will be available prior to year end (i.e., prior to July, 2007), even if a decision is made to shift the go-live date of the MFMP 2.0 Upgrade

MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Overview of Benefits/Enhancements
CR 25: Invoice eForm validation When an agency user creates an Invoice eForm, new validation will be
added to ensure that an active purchase order (PO) or open/closed master agreement (MA) is tied to the Invoice eForm
If a user tries to submit an Invoice eForm without referencing a PO or MA, an error message will be displayed preventing the eForm from being submitted
This change request will impact any existing Invoice eForms in a ‘Composing’ status that do not have a valid active PO or MA associated with them. These eForms will not be able to be submitted until a valid PO or MA is entered
This change does not impact users ability to link an invoice eform form to a closed MA

MFMP 2.0 Upgrade:Overview of Benefits/Enhancements
CR 27: Ability to correct receiving report via ‘negative receipting’ Users will have the ability to enter a negative amount in the “Accepted” field
on the receipt in order to correct a quantity error from a previous receipt If a user over receives on a previous receipt, they will have the option to
create an additional receipt for a negative amount (the amount that was over received) and the number accepted will be updated to the correct amount on the purchase order.
The 24 hour editing period is no longer applicable and receipts can be completed as necessary.
Please see example below.• Purchase order is for a quantity of 20• User originally creates a receiving report for 15, but actually only
physically received 10• User creates a new receipt for a quantity of -5• Purchase order number accepted is updated from 15 to 10

The following represent the changes being made to the regeneration rules: Adding a line item

Deleting a line item
If a line item is deleted the workflow will not be regenerated
Changing the total dollar amount
The dollar amount percentage threshold will be increased from 5% to 10%
Changing the commodity code on a line item
If the commodity code is changed on a line item to a commodity code that does require a commodity specific approver or a cross agency approver the workflow will be regenerated
If the commodity code is changed on a line item to a commodity code that does not require a commodity specific approver or a cross agency approver the workflow will not be regenerated

Office Consumables Master Agreement
A new Master Agreement (MA) is scheduled to be created with an effective date of December 31, 2006
With the CRB approval and because this MA is highly used by Agencies in MyFloridaMarketPlace, the team will do regular renewals (at least annually) of this MA in order to help manage the number of items tied to a specific version of the MA. This should also assist with response time associated with users researching particular items (e.g., orders, receipts) tied to this contract
Communications will be sent to users to provide notice of the upcoming MA, a report that shows pending transactions against the current MA, and any suggested actions that should be taken prior to the change
As part of these communications, users will be encouraged to move all current “in process” orders to ‘Ordered’ status prior to the end date of the MA
If the transactions are not in ‘Ordered’ status by the date that the new MA is effective, the orders will need to be recreated
Page - 30
Office Consumables Master Agreement
Requisitions that have not been fully approved are withdrawn automatically by the system and must be re-submitted and associated with the new MA number in order to be processed correctly
Requisitions that are in submitted status are moved to ‘Composing’ status and an auto-withdrawn statement is added to the requisition history
Requisitions in ‘Composing’ status are withdrawn automatically by the system
‘Rejected’ requisitions are placed in ‘Composing’ status and must be associated with the new MA number and resubmitted in order to be processed correctly
As a reminder, there is the ability to still invoice against POs tied to a closed MA
