Current CCSF Practices
• Manual bidding
• On-line and manual requisitions
• E commerce orders placed on hold, encumbered through FGAENCB
• Fixed Assets updated via outside inventory
• No centralized receiving, manual
• Forced receiving/invoice matching

Requisitions
• There are 2 different forms: FPAREQN and Web 4
• Web 4 advantage: easier for casual users to use
• Web 4 limitation: the description field is limited to 42 characters
• FPAREQN has 5 screens in version Banner 7, an improvement

Bid Module
Forms required to issue and evaluate a bid:
• Bid Creation FPACTBD• Prospective Bidders
FPAPRBD• Bid Entry FPABIDE• Bid Comparison FPIBIDC• Bid Award FPABAWD
• Advantage: Linked data to a PO, perm. record
• Disadvantage: You have to fully enter vendor information if not a current supplier. This fills the FTMVEND database with inactive vendors and it is difficult to completely remove vendor records from the data base
10
Purchase Order Forms
• The conversion of a requisition to a purchase order is not too arduous FPAREQN>FPAABUY>FPAPOAS>
FPAPURR
• You can shortcut requisition process and start directly in FPAPURR

Fixed Assets
12
Fixed Assets
• Orig. and P tags are cumbersome
• Lack of a bar code interface
• Regulatory requirements: GASB 34/35
• How is your college handling this?
13
Receiving
• Relatively complete process
• Best for centralized receiving
• Receiving is all or none process: cannot do on-line for some and not others
14
Challenges of the Purchasing Module
How do you handle:• Management level reporting• On-line ordering/electronic commerce interface• Database maintenance: difficult to merge
records (i.e.: merge history when a vendor is bought), easily delete records (typos or duplicates, you terminate or invalidate but never delete)
• Lack of bar code interface• Fixed Assets: O & P tags are cumbersome
