eVA terminology for a "purchase order." A EP is created when an eVA requisition has gone through the required approvals. If a vendor accepts electronic orders then the eVA EP will be sent directly to the vendor; otherwise, Shared Services will need to email or send a copy of the EP to the vendor. If the requestor is also the last person in the approval flow, this is an indication the order did not flow electronically to the vendor.
- Blanket orders are not the normal method of processing and the particular service must be lend itself to this type of order, contact Procurement Services for guidance.
- Blanket orders should not cross or cover more than one fiscal year or if applicable contract term.
- Blanket orders must be carefully tracked and reconciled by the department for the various payments that may occur during the year. At the end of the year, the blanket order should be adjusted to cover any over/under usage.
- The vendor must be willing to accept the blanket order (vendors are charged the eVA fee upfront for the total dollar amount put into the system).
- Contract orders must have pricing verified at the time the order is created.
eVA will generate a PCO# (rather than a EP#) anytime the PCard option is selected on the requisition. Keep in mind that if you have a PCard associated with your account, the PCard option will always default to on. Remember to remove the PCard option anytime you need to pay by an invoice or if the order is $5,000.00 or more. Users may remove the PCard option when completing confirming orders to reduce the risk of the purchase card receiving duplicate charges. If the PCard box is unchecked, the vendor cannot see the PCard information in order to charge the card.
