  3. Create Requisitions Helpful Tips/Icons Navigating in CUNYfirst 1) • Disable ALL Pop-up Blockers • Do not use the browser’s back button when attempting to get to the previous screen. Always look for the blue underlined link instructing you to return to the previous screen • The system “times out” any users who have been idle for 20 minutes or longer • Never select the DUMMY vendor option when selecting a Vendor

  4. Create Requisitions • CUNYfirst Procurement Overview • Effective July 1, 2013, all Tax-Levy purchases, with the exception of those purchases related to Employee Travel and Employee Reimbursements will require a Purchase Requisition created in CUNYfirst. • All Employee Travel (Travel Vouchers) and Employee Reimbursements (use Blue Requisitions) must be sent directly to the Accounts Payable Department (A/P). Do NOT create a requisition in CUNYfirst for these payments. The A/P Dept. will process the payment without a PO. • When creating requisitions keep in mind the following: • Quantity-Based Requisitions – These are requests for a specific quantity of goods or services that need to be ordered. Requester enters a quantity of goods/services of 1 or greater on the line of the requisition. • Amount Only / Requirement (Blanket) Requisitions – These are requests for goods or services to be ordered throughout the year and the exact amount of items to be ordered is not known (i.e. supplies form Grainger, MSC, Fischer Scientific,etc...). Requesters enter a dollar amount (typically for the year) for the Price and always a quantity of 1 on the line of the requisition. Then you put the dollar amount of the invoice (if it is correct) for those items you received. • f 1)

  37. Budget Check – How It Works • Once the Requisition is approved by the Level 2 Approver, the Budget Check feature in CUNYfirst runs on an automated hourly basis. • The Budget Check feature: • seeks to establish if there are sufficient budget dollars for the amount of the requested item(s). If there are sufficient budget dollars, the system returns a status of Valid on the Requisition and records a pre-encumbrance • conversely, when a transaction exceeds the available budgeted amount (at the Budget Account level), the system stops the transaction and returns a status of Error on the Requisition • Also returns a status of Error if there is an error in the string of chartfields. The chartfields are the codes associated with a Department: Dept. Code, Operating Unit, Fund, program, MP, SP Init and Fund Source. If one of these codes is incorrect than it will fail Budget Check.

  38. Budget Check – Action Plan • As there is NO automated email that is sent to the Requester indicating that the budget check has an Error, the following steps must be followed: • PRIOR TO APPROVING THE REQUISITION • All Approvers should verify that all chartfields and account codes are correct prior to approving each requisition. If incorrect, the Supervisor and/or Level 1 Approver should Deny the requisition & instruct the Requester to correct these fields prior to approval. Level 2 Approvers have the ability to edit the Requisition prior to approval • Departmental Approvers should employ a practice of viewing departmental budget balances by running the Budget query to check for sufficient balances prior to approving requisitions • AFTER THE REQUISITON IS APPROVED • Requesters should check Manage Requisitions daily to ensure that the Budget Check status is Valid for their requistions. • If the budget check returns an Error, the Requester must view the requisition details to ensure that the chartfields are correct and verify that the Budget Account code selected has sufficient budget balance. • If it is deemed that the chartfields or Budget account codes are incorrect, the Requester must edit the requisition to reflect the correct fields under Edit Requisitions • If the requisition continues to show a status of Error, the departmental manager must then coordinate with the Budget Office
