Banner Document Attachment for Automation of Purchase Requisition Process and Campuswide



Initiative TitleBanner Document Attachment for Automation of Purchase Requisition Process and Campuswide
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2018
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Currently departments are and will be submitting attachments using a IT home grown system for the online Purchase Requisition approval process.   Currently IT, Facilities, and Security are using the online Purchase Requisition approval process, and it is planned to go campus wide by the end of AY 1819.  Banner has a Document Attachment feature which can be used by all college departments, and will allow the approver in the auto purchase req process to see the attached documents.  Right now the approver, purchasing and others can not see the attached documents and needs to correspond with the requisitioner to get this data.  The only exceptions is purchasing who uses the IT Home Grown system. 

The college uses On Base to do document attachment and costs the college $31k a year and can increase as users are added and any modifications made by OnBase Reps.  Banner's Document attachment feature costs $9k (as of 2/2/17), and has no additional cost when you add users and no modifications would be needed since we are using the document attachment feature that comes with Banner.  This would be at least a $22k annual savings for the college once fully implemented. 

I would request for this to occur sooner than later since it would be helpful to have Banner Attachment implemented prior to having the remainder of the college use the online auto purchase requisition approval process, so they are trained once and not twice.  If push comes to shove I would rather have implementation of the Auto Purchase Req Approval Process by the end of the AY1819, knowing that Banner document attachment being implemented on the early portion of 1920 year.
