Review: Year End
Last year, MFMP was taken down on July 1st to complete the “Certified Forward” and “Delay Purchase Until” process
Customers were notified of the systems availability through e-mail communications
61% fewer transactions needed manual intervention than in previous years The 387 transactions needing manual intervention, were resolved on July 3rd whereas
in previous years, they took approximately a week
Improvements were made to the MFMP Certify Forward program that processes the DFS Certify Forward file resulting in a reduction of overall run time for that batch program from eight hours to under two hours (32,095 requisition line items were processed in less than two hours compared to 30,324 in eight hours the previous year
These reductions in time assisted in a successful year end process
We would like to repeat the process again this year, taking MFMP down on July 1, 2009

Reducing/Releasing Encumbrances
There are four ways to reduce or release encumbrances in MFMP:
Change Orders can be submitted to reduce the quantity/amount of your order, reducing the encumbered amount
Final Payment Indicator can be checked when approving an IR for encumbered payments to un-encumber the remaining balance, this check box is located on the line level detail of the IR
Release Encumbrance eForm can be used to release all the remaining funds associated on an order
Release Encumbrance Request Form can be submitted to the Customer Service Desk to release the encumbrance, however, you will need to supply the REF (Release Encumbrance eForm) number

Disbursement Transaction Override
During disbursement processing, the disbursement transaction type may be changed from encumbered to unencumbered disbursement, or unencumbered to encumbered disbursement by checking or unchecking the ‘Encumber Funds’ checkbox
Customers assigned the “Invoicing” group will have the ability to override the disbursement type
The ‘Encumber Funds’ checkbox is at the split accounting level and must be updated for each split accounting line (Note: All transactions must be the same type)
If the disbursement transaction type is changed from encumbered to unencumbered, it may be necessary to use the Release Encumbrance eForm to release the remaining encumbrance amount

Reports
There are several MyFloridaMarketPlace reports that are generated for use by agencies and posted to the DMS Web site (http://dms-purchasing-ftp.state.fl.us/xx00/)
A job aid is also available on the DMS Web site (in the MFMP Toolkit) that lists the available reports along with a description of each Note: this document is currently being updated (http://dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/state_purchasing/myflorida_marketplace/buyers/myflorida_marketplace_toolkit)
Page - 17Page - 17
Suggested Year End Reports
The following reports (from the DMS Web site) should be helpful in year end processing:
IRs With Last Approver Primarily used by Finance & Accounting to monitor the status and activity of IRs to
ensure prompt payment processing Lists Invoice Reconciliations (IRs) in Reconciling and Approving status
This includes IRs generated from the Ariba Supplier Network (ASN) (Purchasing Unit Indicator (PUI): 9999) and IRs that failed Central FLAIR
IRs that failed Central FLAIR will list the approving invoice manager by name and will remain in Approving status until resolved
This excludes IRs that list FLAIR Integration as the active approver and does not list IRs in Paid status
Customers whose queue the IR is currently active will be listed This also includes IRs routed to the Invoice Administrator. This only
applies to ASN invoices
Page - 18Page - 18
Suggested Year End Reports
Invoice Reconciliation Report Will assist Finance and Accounting in determining outstanding invoices by
budget to determine what action needs to be taken when budgets change Lists all non-ASN IRs in an Approving, Reconciling or Rejecting status
POs Without IRs Is primarily used by Finance & Accounting to identify Orders where IRs
were not created through MyFloridaMarketPlace Lists Commodity POs in a Receiving or Received status Service POs in Ordered Status
All Received Orders Report Is primarily used by Finance and Accounting to identify purchase orders
containing commodities to determine if invoices have been received and processed
Lists Orders in a Received status
Page - 19Page - 19
Suggested Year End Reports
All Open Orders Report Is primarily used by Finance and Accounting to identify all “Open” POs
to determine if invoices have been received and processed. This is also used by Purchasing personnel to determine if the purchase order needs to be changed, canceled or closed for future receiving
Lists POs in Ordering, Ordered and Receiving status
All Orders Report Is the same as the All Open Orders Report but includes Orders in
Received status
PR’s in Submitted Status Displays intended PR obligation by organizational code before the
money is committed through a direct order. Managers are able to review spending plans before the agency is committed to an expenditure
List the latest version of a PR in a Submitted status
Page - 20
Suggested Year End Reports
Punchout vs NonCatalogsUsed by Finance and Accounting and Purchasing. F&A will be able to
view the Orders being placed against Punchout vendors, resulting in an eInvoice and Purchasing will be able to determine if the Punchout features are being utilized
Vendors being captured Dell Marketing L.P. Hewlett-Packard Company VF Imagewear, Inc. Lenovo Inc. Grainger Industrial Supply Fisher Scientific Company LLC Office Depot BSD (pull only Non-Catalog Requisitions)

Transaction Fee Exemptions
Level Description
Vendor
If a vendor is a non-profit or government entity, they are generally exempt from the Transaction Fee. If the vendor is not required to register in MyFloridaMarketPlace or is reluctant to register, the vendor may be exempt from the Transaction Fee. The reluctant vendor registration can only be processed if the reason meets specifications outlined in Rule 60A-1.030 of the FAC
Contract
An exemption that applies to all transactions (purchase orders or disbursements) conducted with a vendor for a specific contract within an agency. An agency must flag a contract as exempt from the 1% transaction fee by completing the Contract Exemption electronic form
TransactionAllows agencies to indicate that all or a portion of the transaction is exempt from the Transaction Fee. When a transaction is exempt, the agency must check the Fee Eligible checkbox of the requisition/invoice and select the appropriate reason code
The 1% Transaction Fee applies to all transactions that are not specifically exempted in Rule 60A-1.032 of the FAC. The table below explains the three levels that a vendor or specific purchase can be exempt from the 1% Transaction Fee:
Page - 23
Transaction Fee Exemption Review
We are beginning a new process to review the transaction fee exemptions
DMS reviews a monthly report that details all transaction fee exemptions at the transaction level by all agencies, including Vendors registered with the incorrect business designation Approved transactions that do not follow F.A.C. 60A-1.032
The exemptions highlighted compare the vendor to the specific exemption
Our goal is to assist the agencies in selecting the most appropriate exemption

Designs are complete and development work underway
Page - 36
SPURS Sunset: Vendor Add Application
DMS/DFS MOU:
MOU addresses commitment between DMS and DFS to build the Vendor Add application

Employee Interchange Agreement – staff being hired
Page - 37
SPURS Sunset
Phase I:
Development of a batch interface between MFMP and FLAIR for the addition and update of MFMP registered vendors to the FLAIR vendor file
Development of a FLAIR online application for vendor maintenance Allows agencies to add vendors which will be used only in the FLAIR
Purchasing Card subsystem Allows DFS / Accounting and Auditing (A&A) to add and maintain
vendors which may be used in any agency transaction Development of an annual process for DFS to provide MFMP with
information to inactivate “B” notice vendors (Note: first annual “B” Notice process successfully completed in December 2008)
Page - 38
SPURS Sunset
Phase II: MFMP will develop an online W-9 form within the MFMP Vendor
Registration System MFMP intends to enhance the batch interface between MFMP and
FLAIR to transmit the W-9 data DFS intends to enhance the batch interface between MFMP and FLAIR
to set MFMP Vendors to a “pending” status until a W-9 has been received and validated by DFS/ A&A
DFS intends to alter FLAIR to prevent all non-MFMP Vendor payments from processing if the Statewide Vendor record is in a “pending” status
Phase III: Enhancement to the MFMP Vendor Registration System to standardize
and validate address formats Enhancement to the FLAIR Vendor application (online and batch
interface) to standardize and validate address formats

Related Change Requests: CR 47 & CR 51
CR 47 - Line Item DescriptionCurrently, MFMP extracts purchase order data nightly for importing into SPURSView. However, MFMP does not send the PO line item description information with the PO data. With CR 47, MFMP will send line item description to DMS, displaying the data with the DO information within SPURSView.
Implemented because SPURS data will no longer be available Prospectively going forward
Page - 39
SPURS Sunset
Related Change Requests:
CR 51 - Inactivation Reason CodeDuring SPURS sunset discussions, DFS requested that MFMP add an inactivation reason code in the Vendor Registration System to indicate the reason a vendor's registration (or location) is inactivated. This inactivation reason code will be passed to FLAIR in the nightly MFMP to FLAIR vendor interface for updates on the statewide vendor file.
DFS provided a list of inactivation reasons, including:
(1) DFS request – no IRS match; (2) vendor request, no reason; (3) vendor request – duplicate registration; and (4) DMS request – vendor went out of business.
