Update – Top Five Change Requests At the last CRB meeting, the following CRs were ranked as the top five:
Update – CR 29 CR 29: Include Voucher # and SWDN on payment update eForm • Current Challenge: When a disbursement is completed directly in FLAIR, the “Paid in FLAIR” checkbox will be marked on the associated Invoice Reconciliation (IR). Users will then utilize the Payment Update eForm to enter the FLAIR payment details for that disbursement. Currently, users have the ability to enter the Warrant Number and Warrant Date for each payment associated to the IR. Users have requested the ability to update the Voucher Number and Statewide Document Number on the Payment Update eForm. • Proposed Solution: Add the Voucher Number and Statewide Document Number to the Payment Update eForm. These new fields will not be required on the eForm. Users will be allowed to enter a value or leave the Voucher Number and Statewide Document Number fields blank. If the user enters a value for these fields, then the value will be updated on the Payment and associated Invoice Reconciliation (IR) accounting objects. • Estimated ROM: 50 hours
Update – CR 30 CR 30: Add contract ID to the DO • Current Challenge: Customers have requested the display of the following on the print view of a Requisition: • Both the State Contract ID and Agency Contract ID • Line item commodity code, commodity description and PUI Currently, only the Agency Contract ID is displayed on the print view. • Proposed Solution: Add the above fields to the print view of a Requisition and PO. • Estimated ROM: 48 hours
Update – CR 41 CR 41: CFO Received Date Current Challenge: • Currently, when the DFS calculates an agency’s prompt payment they do not have particular fields available to them from MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) (i.e., the date that the Invoice Reconciliation (IR) is received by the auditor). • Instead, they are utilizing a date not provided by MFMP (CFO Received Date) that is captured after the auditors have approved the transaction for payment. • This causes the prompt payment report to include the agency’s processing time and the auditor’s processing time as a part of the agency’s 20-day timeframe for invoices audited in MFMP.
Update – CR 41 CR 41: CFO Received Date Proposed Solution: • In order to accurately report an agency’s prompt payment percentage for MFMP audited invoices, changes will be made in both MFMP and FLAIR. • In MFMP, changes will be made to store a date at the header level of new Invoice Reconciliations (IRs) to reflect the MFMP calculated CFO Received Date. • Changes will also be made in MFMP for all disbursement transaction (51S, 53S and 70S) interface transactions so that the “MFMP CFO Received Date” is submitted to DFS for calculation. • This “MFMP CFO Received Date” will be entered by the MFMP interface in the “CK-DT” (check date) field when submitting a disbursement transaction to FLAIR. Estimated ROM:496 hours
Update – CR 53 CR 53: Buyer Password Reset • Current Challenge: Currently, if a buyer forgets his or her MFMP password, the agency system administrator must reset the password utilizing the Password Change eForm. Agencies are requesting the ability for a buyer to reset his or her password without contacting the agency system administrator. The functionality would be similar to the vendor password reset enhancement. • Proposed Solution: MFMP will implement an automated password reset function for buyer customers, similar to the VIP vendor password reset already in place. • Estimated ROM: 512 hours
Update – CR 86 CR 86: Default the checkbox to unchecked • Current Challenge: Currently, when creating a comment on a Requisition, the “include comment/attachment(s) on purchase orders” checkbox is defaulted to checked.. • Proposed Solution: Changes will be required to the comment functionality within MFMP to default the “include comment/attachment(s) on purchase orders” to be unchecked when adding a new comment to a Requisition. • Estimated ROM: 40 hours
Issues: • CR 86: Default the checkbox to be unchecked • Where is the value added? • CR 53: Buyer Password Reset • Implementation will result in an audit finding unless scope is increased up to 30% to provide security measures • Consider alternatives to these two CRs?
Wrap-Up CR 260014 CR 260014: Green and Recycled Reporting (Charlie Goddard, DEP) • Current Challenge:MFMP already has the capability to report in some detail for green or recycled products in catalogs (4,900 products), but MFMP does not currently have the capability to report on non-catalog green or recycled products (16,000 products). • Proposed Solution:Add a “yes” or “no” indicator for the agency to indicate when they are purchasing a non-catalog green or recycled product. The addition of this change request would only show that a product is green or recycled. For green products, they would be products that are on the DMS “Florida Climate Friendly Product List.” For recycled products, they may be either found on the “Florida Climate Friendly Product List” or the vendor has certified to the agency that the product has recycled content. However, the amount of recycled content or material would not be tracked and reported in MFMP.
Wrap-Up CR 260014 CR 35: Edit Capabilities on Master Agreements (David Callaway, DOT) • Current Challenge:Currently, there are limited editing capabilities on MAs. • Proposed Solution:Changes will be made to the edit functionality for MAs to allow users to edit the following line item fields when changing a MAR: “Full Description”, “Unit of Measure”, “Supplier Part Number” and “Commodity Code.” Changes will also be made so users can edit the “Release Required” field when changing a MAR and allow users to delete existing line items when changing a MAR. Changes will also be made to copy comments from a MAR to the associated MA once the MAR is fully approved.
