Important Business Rules

• To initiate a purchase with an ECAT vendor, begin at the ECAT vendor website, not SAPweb.
• A dollar amount for each line item is required (even with Internal Provider reqs).
• Requisitions may be sent for approval (release) within your department before they are sent to Procurement or the MIT Internal Provider.
• No action can be taken by Procurement on a requisition until all items are released. Once released, Procurement will receive the requisition and assign a PO number.
• Once a requisition has been approved, any changes require change orders.
• To create blankets and subcontracts, indicate begin and end dates of contract in Item Note field and reverse quantity and price.
