Amount Based and Standard PRs (Non-Catalog Requests)
Important Note: PRs less than $10,000 do not route to S&P and will be automatically transmitted to the supplier. If you attach a contract to a PR less than $10,000, it will not be reviewed by Sourcing & 采购; a Contract Request Form must be completed to have your
contract reviewed.
Non-Catalog Requests are used to create PRs for one-off purchases for services or products that are not in a supplier catalog in Guided BUying. Suppliers must be assigned to a PR before submitting the PR.
There are two types of Non-Catalog Requests:
Amount Based: PRs created based on a quote from a supplier when you are unsure the final amount to be spent. Non-Catalog Amount Based Requests replaced Limit Order Shopping Carts.
Standard: PRs created based on a quote from a supplier when you cannot find what you need through a catalog in Guided BUying. Non-Catalog Standard Requests replaced Free Description or Material Carts.
Assigning Order Type:
Requisitioners are required to choose the Order Type on each Non-Catalog line. To assign the Order Type, scroll to the open Others tab, and select either Standard or Amount Based from the Order Type drop-down. Requisitioners should designate their PRs as follows:
Amount Based –> services or if you are expecting multiple invoices
Standard –> products
Attachments:
Requisitioners must obtain a quote from a supplier to attach to their PR. Other documentation we recommend you attach include quotes, proposals, or descriptions of services. Non-Catalog Requests of ≥$10,000 require at least one document be attached before submission.
