eVA Requisition Update

Effective Friday, January 27… a NEW eVA field will be added to requisitions.  According to DPS, the added field “procurement transaction type” will ultimately be used to build reports and get a closer look at state procurement transactions in various categories.  We encourage you to make what seems the most logical selection among the choices provided.  There will be no interruption of work flow and no review of field selections at this time.

A special thanks is extended to Vickie Chapman and Lynn Norfleet, from Training Evaluation and System Support, for the following user guidance:

Overview
The procurement Transaction Type field is required on all purchase requisitions beginning Friday, January 27^th, 2012. The intent of the code is to allow state reporting of goods and services at a Purchase Order level.

• When multiple Procurement Transaction Types are entered on the same requisition, choose the type that is the highest dollar value.  For instance, if you are ordering Equipment that is both Technology (for $500.00) and Non-Technology (for $250.00), select Equipment –Technology as the Procurement Type.
• NIGP and Account selection and coding will remain on the individual line items, continue processing as usual.
