Aspire Update

Wave 1 Update: Timeframe for Initial Agencies Update on Replanning Effort

Blackout Period Update: The team is in the process of finalizing activities that will happen during

an agency’s “blackout” period prior to Aspire transition. Details of the “blackout” period will be reviewed closer to the Wave 1

timeframe.

Encumbrance guidance prior to transition to Aspire: Agencies are strongly encouraged to not process “unencumbered”

transactions prior to transition to Aspire. This will help to minimize agency workload impact during the transition

to Aspire.

Aspire Update (cont.)

Entering Master Agreements Prior to Aspire Transition:

Option 1: Enter Master Agreement as ‘Unencumbered’: Agencies will then need to encumber using Aspire Accounting on the purchase order(s) or will issue an invoice(s) associated with that Master Agreement. If the Master Agreement is set up as ‘No Release Required,” then it will be a requirement to encumber the Master Agreement.

Option 2: Enter Master Agreement as ‘Encumbered’: Upon transition to Aspire, agencies will need to update the Master Agreement with new Aspire Accounting information. Purchase Orders and/or Invoices generated from that Master Agreement will then include the Aspire Accounting Information going forward.

Guidance: All purchase orders, including blanket purchase orders and multi-year purchase orders will be maintained in MyFloridaMarketPlace going forward.

Agency Activity: Each agency should review and develop a “close out plan” for open orders. Identify any open orders that need to stay open past the end of the fiscal year and begin keying them into MyFloridaMarketPlace. Wave 1 Aspire agencies should coordinate with their Aspire team contacts to confirm timeframe available for reviewing open orders.

Blanket Purchase Orders:

Guidance: Blanket Purchase Orders for the current fiscal year that exist in SPURS can remain in SPURS (as the PO edit functionality will continue to exist until July 29 th for non Wave 1 Aspire agencies). New Blanket Purchase Orders that are being created for FY 2005 – 2006 will be entered in MyFloridaMarketPlace.

Agency Activity: All Blanket Purchase Orders for the upcoming fiscal year should be created in MyFloridaMarketPlace

Certified Forwards / Year End Processing

As we approach the end of the fiscal year, agencies may have questions about common tasks such as: Certified Forwards Releasing Encumbrances Disbursement Transaction Overrides

The following slides provide screen shots of some common processing that you may be doing at this time of year.

This information will also be posted as a job aid on the MyFloridaMarketPlace Toolkit.

Please contact the Customer Service Desk at 1-866-352-3776 or at [email protected] if you have specific questions or concerns about a process you are trying to complete.

Page - 15

Certified Forwards

Previously within FLAIR, agencies have had the option of either Marking their encumbrances and payables with a ‘C’ in the CF

(certified forward) field manually through FLAIR. Or requesting that DFS mark the encumbrances and payables with

a ‘C’ in the CF field on behalf of the agency on June 30th.

With the implementation of MyFloridaMarketPlace, agencies will have the option of either Marking the encumbrances with a ‘C’ in the CF (certified forward)

field through MyFloridaMarketPlace. Or requesting that DFS mark the encumbrances with a ‘C’ in the CF

field. The encumbrances will also automatically be updated in MyFloridaMarketPlace via a one-time batch process so that the accounting is reflected correctly in both systems. Date for this batch process is TBD- but is anticipated to be early-mid July.

Page - 16

Certified Forwards

If an agency elects to mark the encumbrances through MyFloridaMarketPlace, the following steps should be followed

1. Initiate a change order to the appropriate Purchase Order. Users assigned the role of ‘CO No Workflow’ may complete a change order for accounting/encumbrance changes only without regenerating the workflow.

2. Update the accounting/encumbrance as appropriate and include a ‘C’ in the CF field.

3. Submit the change order – a subsequent PO version will be created.

4. A change encumbrance transaction (6SU) will be sent to FLAIR to update the encumbrance record.

Similar to encumbered POs, encumbrances against Master Agreements may be updated through initiating a change against the Master Agreement Request or may be updated automatically if requested by DFS.

Payables

During the year-end process, the agency may also establish payables for those items that have been received but not yet invoiced

The establishment of a payable (TR80/TR81) against a MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction will be completed directly in FLAIR A modification has been completed in FLAIR to support the release

of an ‘A’ encumbrance type for an encumbered payable (TR81)

When appropriate, a payable disbursement (TR53) will be completed in MyFloridaMarketPlace for a MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction

Page - 21

Payables

The following defines the steps which establish a payable and complete a payable disbursement for a MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction1. Identify the transaction in which a payable is to be established and

document the encumbrance number and line numbers if an encumbered transaction

2. Establish the payable in FLAIR (TR80/TR81) referencing the encumbrance number and line numbers as appropriate. You may also release the encumbrance using the Release Encumbrance eForm in lieu of a TR81

3. During the disbursement process, the Exception Handler or Invoice Manager may select the ‘Payable’ checkbox on the Invoice Reconciliation to indicate that the disbursement is a payable disbursement

4. Two fields will be displayed to enter the payable number and payable line number (It is not necessary to include the prefix in the payable number field)

5. The ‘Payable’ checkbox is at the split accounting level and must be updated for each split accounting line

6. Final payment indicator is available for payable disbursements on the split accounting line

7. The accounting distribution may also be updated for each split accounting line at the time of disbursement.

Page - 22

Page - 23

Check the ‘Payable Disbursement’ checkbox to indicate that this transaction should be a payable disbursement.

Page - 24

Two additional fields ‘Payable Number’ and ‘Payable Line Number’ will be displayed. Enter in the payable number and payable line number and select that appropriate accounting distribution. When entering the payable number, it is not necessary to include the prefix in the number.  For example, enter '897654' not 'P897654

Page - 25

Invoice Administrator Queue Discussion

MyFloridaMarketPlace has systematic roles that are used as a “catch all” queue in the case that the system is unable to appropriately identify the agency-specific approval flow (based upon missing information on the approvable). 

The Invoice Administrator role is a “catch all” systematic role to which invalid invoices are routed when the PUI Invoice Manager is not able to be identified on the generated IR to generate the approval flow. 

When a user generates an invoice, the supplier, order information (order number, line items, price, quantity, total amount, etc.), accounting details, PUI and site code are all pulled from the direct order (DO) to be applied to the generated invoice reconciliation (IR); based on this information, the system will automatically generate the IR approval flow.  

However if the invoice is NOT tied to a DO/MA, the system cannot identify the appropriate agency Exception Handler and Invoice Manager to route the invoice to; therefore, the invoice is deemed invalid - no agency approval flow is generated and the IR gets routed to the Invoice Administrator queue.

The project team is currently reaching out to agencies who have IRs routed to the Invoice Administrator queue based on the user tied to the Invoice eForm. If invoice is received via ASN, the team may not have the necessary agency information, and so the team is reaching out to the vendor. 

Page - 36

Invoice Administrator Queue Discussion

To prevent your agency from appearing on this report, the following should be followed for Invoice eForms:

1. When users are creating invoice eforms, they must search for and select the appropriate purchase order  or master agreement for the paper invoice sent by the supplier. 

2. Once the correct PO or MA is selected, the user must click the "Generate Invoice" button to display the line items contained on the matched document.  Once these lines are displayed, the user will need to make sure the information from the invoice received matched the line item information displayed.  If needed, the user can edit the description, quantity and price indicated for each line item. 

3. Once the line items displayed on the eform match the actual invoice received, the user will need to continue to the Summary screen to attach the scanned image of the invoice received to the invoice eform. 

4. After the invoice is attached, the user can then submit the invoice eform.  Once submitted, the system will generate an invoice reconciliation request which will be routed to the appropriate user within the agency's PUI. 

5. Completing these actions for an invoice eform will prevent the system from routing the resulting IR to the Invoice Administrator "catch-all" queue.

Page - 37

Invoice Administrator Queue Discussion

Copying an Invoice eForm: When copying an invoice eform, the system will display the selected PO or MA which was linked to the original eform.  However, it is necessary to click the 'Generate Invoice' button to re-establish the link to the selected PO or MA.  If this button is not clicked and the eform is submitted, when the IR is generated it will not be linked to the request.  The system will route the IR to the Invoice Administrator queue.

To prevent your agency from appearing on the report, the following should be followed for ASN invoices  (i.e. Office Depot, Grainger, etc.):  If a change order is completed for an ASN supplier, the user MUST NOT select the option 'Do Not Send Purchase Order to Vendor'.  When this option is selected the changed version of the purchase order is generated but it does NOT transmit to the supplier.  If a supplier completes a PO Flip for the original version of the purchase order, when the system attempts to match the purchase order from the ASN invoice to a purchase order in Ariba and its not found, the system will route the invoice reconciliation to the Invoice Administrator queue.  If a supplier has selected a preferred ordering method of 'Electronic Ordering', the option to not send the PO to the vendor should not be selected.
