  • Publication number: 20160239912
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable memory may include instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including receiving a first requisition by a computer system of a procurement organization. The operations may also include receiving, by the computer system of the procurement organization, first SQL commands that generate a first change to be applied to a budget allocation associated with the first requisition. The operations may additionally include determining, by the computer system of the procurement organization, that the first change to the budget allocation does not violate a threshold. The operations may further include in response to determining that the first change does not violate the threshold, creating, by the computer system of the procurement organization, second SQL commands that generate a purchase order based on the first change.

  • Publication number: 20130282535
    Abstract: A method of calculating accounting encumbrance adjustments for a purchase order associated with a first allocation of a budget includes determining that the purchase order has been closed, where the closure prevents additional processing associated with the purchase order by an invoice processing system; receiving a request to reopen the purchase order, where the request is associated with an additional cost; causing a determination to be made as to whether a second portion of the budget should be allocated, where the second portion of the budget corresponds to the additional cost; and in response to a determination that the second portion of the budget can be allocated: causing the second portion of the budget to be allocated, reopening the purchase order, and sending an indication to the invoice processing system that the purchase order is reopened.

  • Publication number: 20130254073
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to methods and systems for processing purchase requisitions and purchase orders in a procurement system and more particularly systems and methods for returning single or individual requisition lines back to the requester without affecting other associated requisition lines under the same requisition. Generally speaking, embodiments allow users of a procurement system to return individual requisition lines instead of returning all the requisition lines in the purchase requisition. In some cases, policies require all or some subset of all lines of a requisition be processed together when possible. Hence, if there are more than one requisition lines, the buyer can be presented with a choice whether he or she would like to return the individual line or whether he would like to return all or some subset of all of the lines allowing a buyer to make a more informed decision.
