MyFloridaMarketPlace Prioritized Change Requests Estimate Analysis

• CR 37: Mass Edit for Purchasing Code and Method of Procurement Fields

– Current Challenge: Currently, the Purchasing Code and Method of Procurement fields must be updated individually on each requisition line item. This causes a significant time commitment from the purchasing staff and can dramatically affect their workload.

– Proposed Solution: Changes will be made to the mass edit functionality for requisitions so that the Purchasing Code (labeled “Buyer Code” in MyFloridaMarketPlace) and Method of Procurement fields can be updated for multiple line items.


• CR 40: Invoice Reconciliation Accounting Validation

– Current Challenge: Currently if a customer is rejecting an IR, all of the accounting must be validated to get the IR in ‘Rejected’ status. Additionally, if a customer is disputing a line item, you also must validate the accounting before continuing. This creates additional work and time to a simple process. Agencies are requesting the following changes:

• (1) when rejecting an IR, do not require that the accounting be validated, and;

• (2) when disputing a line item, do not require that the accounting be validated.

– Proposed Solution: Changes will be made so that accounting fields are not validated when a line item is disputed. These same changes will also impact the validation logic for a rejected IR (since the reject action disputes all line items). If a customer later selects to cancel a rejection or accept a previously disputed line item, then the accounting fields will required to be valid.


• CR 36: Make the encumbrance number the direct order (DO) number

– Current Challenge: Currently, the system assigns an encumbrance number just before an encumbered requisition is sent to FLAIR. Once the requisition is fully approved, a direct order (DO) number is assigned. As a result, there are two identifiers for an encumbered requisition and order: (1) a DO number or MA number and (2) an encumbrance number. In FLAIR, the encumbrance number is used for research. The DO or MA number is sent to the vendor and used in MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) but is not maintained in FLAIR.

– Proposed Solution: Encumbrance numbers are required to be six characters. Once this change request is implemented, the first encumbrance number assigned must be greater than the last DO number assigned (that is currently expected to be greater than 800000) so that DO numbers will not be duplicated. Once the encumbrance number reaches 999999, alpha characters will be assigned (for example: A00000, A00001, A00002, ….).

• When the encumbered requisition is fully approved and an order is generated, a DO number will be assigned starting with “DO” and then appended with the encumbrance number.

• Encumbered and unencumbered requisitions will use the same incremental counter to reduce the frequency of creating duplicate DO numbers


• CR 42: Add Accounting Fields to Analysis

– Current Challenge: Agencies are requesting to have searchable accounting data fields added in Analysis. Finance and Accounting need analysis reports to utilize fields such as object code, organization code and the category that requisitions and invoices are coded in order to track spending history and to accurately track the agency’s budget allotments.

– Proposed Solution: Changes will be made so specific accounting fields are exported into Analysis for requisitions, purchase orders and invoices. Several fields will be available upon the implementation of this change request. Customers will have the ability to run reports in Analysis with the above accounting fields displayed on the page, row or column.

Organization code Expansion option Object Code Budget Entity

Category Category Year State Program Standard Grant

Grant Year Contract Contract Year Project ID


• CR 26: Mass Edit for Invoice Reconciliations

– Current Challenge: When modifying an IR, customers are unable to mass edit accounting details on the line items. Customers must edit line items one at a time. Agencies have requested the ability to mass edit IR line items. This will allow modifications to the IR line item accounting information for all line items or the selected line items based on the existing functionality for requisitions.

– Proposed Solution: Changes will be made so that customers can mass edit accounting fields on the line items of IRs. The following are defined as accounting fields for the purposes of mass editing (these are the accounting fields currently available for editing on an individual line item): organization code, prefix, expansion option, object code, budget entity, int. budget indicator, category, category year, state program standard, external program, grant, other cost accumulator, contract, agency unique, contract year, grant year, project id, ext. category, general ledger, ext. general ledger, product id, ext. object, grouping character, BPIN, certified forward indicator, batch, description, quantity, count, transaction fee exempt, transaction fee exempt reason, sub-vendor, times and units.

MyFloridaMarketPlace Change Request to Address Legislature Data Visibility Concern

Current Challenge: • The Department of Management Services (DMS) currently has a plan to

sunset the Statewide Purchasing System (SPURS) application. There is one remaining entity that is using the purchase order functionality of SPURS - the Florida Legislature. The Legislature has requested that their data be scoped so that it is not visible by other agencies in MFMP.

Proposed Solution:• With the implementation of this change request, there will be three levels of

data scoping. The level of access will be implied based on the entity assigned to the user (there will not be any specific groups, roles or permissions assigned for data scoping):1. All – Data will not be scoped; users will have access to all data (this level of

access will be reserved for MFMP project team members for support purposes).

2. Executive-Branch Agency – Data will be scoped to display Executive-branch agency data; users will not have access to the Legislature data.

3. Legislature – Data will be scoped to display Legislature data only; users will not have access to Executive-Branch agency data.

Legislative funding available – no impact to CRB

MyFloridaMarketPlace HB687 – Service Disabled Veteran Business

The bill will add Service Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises to the Office of Supplier Diversity. This would require a change on MFMP to add this category so that the Office of Supplier Diversity is triggered when a disabled veteran registers with MFMP.

These changes would impact several of the MFMP applications and interfaces:

•Buyer – make modifications to accommodate new OSD code and update catalogs as appropriate

•SPURS – the interface from MFMP to SPURS would need to be updated to accommodate this code

•OSD interface – when implemented, this interface will need updates to accept this new identification and possible changes to program to comply with business rules.

•Reporting – those reports that use minority codes need to be reviewed and updated accordingly

The initial Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate based on our understanding of the requirements and known variables at this time is 100 -175 hours to complete this enhancement. This legislation is not expected to take effect until November 2008.
