Q: For eCAT vendors, the requisition does not include field for whether the order is a confirming order

For eCAT vendors, why does the requisition not include a field for whether the order is a confirming order?

Answer

In the procurement world, a Purchase Order is marked confirming when the end user expects to place the order him/herself, and only needs a PO number assigned by MIT Procurement to do so. Confirming Purchase Orders are commonly seen on Atlas for external requisitions and PO's.

All eCAT3 Purchase Orders are electronically assigned and sent to the supplier regardless of the requisition being marked confirming by the end user. eCAT3 does not provide the option for the end user to place the order him/herself.
