What's new: Procurement process changes for receivers
September 26, 2013
Here are business process changes that will assist receivers during the cutover to Ariba P2P.
AUTOMATIC GOODS RECEIPT: All orders under $250 will now be automatically received in Ariba and require no action by the receiver. In the past only Guy Brown orders were a two-way match (no receipt needed). In the future any Guy Brown orders over $250 will need to be received. It is expected that within units, the existing processes of ensuring that proper receipt documentation is maintained in the account file is continued. By this change in process, the overall volume of orders auto-received will increase. If an auto-received order is not received or needs to be returned, handle the correction through the returned goods process.
RECEIVER ROLE: In Ariba there is only one receiving role. Anyone that is in this role will have the ability to see all orders for their purchasing unit (campus) and therefore should exercise care in only receiving orders they have confirmation of actual item being received.
