Purpose
This guide is intended for the Entity Financial Manager Approval Group, Procurement Requester – General, Project Manager, and Organization Financial Manager Approval Group to create an After-the-Fact Requisition.
Deliver-to Location and Charge Account information must be set up as preferences, prior to initiating a requisition. Watch this video for additional details on setting preferences.
After-the-Fact requisitions are an exception-based purchasing channel intended for emergencies.
Terminology
- Purchase Requisition: A request to order goods or services from a supplier.
- Non-Catalog Requisition: A requisition that is created via an Oracle Smartform for goods or services not included in a catalog.
- Procurement Category: Categories are used to classify goods or services on a requisition. The procurement category selected by the requester drives the “Account” segment of the chart of accounts COA for that transaction. Users can find the “Account” value associated with each procurement category in the category description.
- Chart of Accounts (COA): A 10-segment combination of accounts composed of primary and secondary segments. The primary segments define the business transaction (Entity, Org., Account, Fund, Purpose). The secondary segments allow us to define why the transaction is being incurred (Purpose, Program, Activity, Site).
- POETAF: A 6-segment combination of Project Cost Collection values that are used to code transactions against projects defined within the Project Portfolio Management module (Project Number, Expenditure Organization, Expenditure Type, Task Number, Contract Number, Funding Source). All transactions coded with POETAF must also have a COA defined.
- After-the-Fact: An After-the-Fact (ATF) purchase occurs when an organization orders or receives goods or services prior to a purchase order being issued. An ATF is an unapproved obligation to purchase goods or services.
