iBuy - Using Equipment and Non-Equipment Account Codes on the Same Requisition

Using Asset and Non-Asset Account Codes on the Same Requisition

The following iBuy roles can edit Accounting Codes (C-FOAPAL) on an iBuy order: Requestor, Department Account Coder, Approver.

The definition of Asset is equipment valued at or above $2,500 with an Equipment Account code value that starts with 127XXX or 163XXX.

The definition of Non-Asset is equipment valued at less than $2,500.

Do not enter Equipment and Non-Equipment Account codes Accounting Codes(C-FOAPAL) in the Accounting Codes area together at the requisition header level or requisition line level. The iBuy order will reject if both Account Code types are entered at the same level.

It is recommended to apply an Equipment Account code (equipment over $2,500) in the Accounting Code (C-FOAPAL) at the line level to items which require a PTag.

When using the iBuy Purchase Requisition Form, always enter the quantity of each item you are ordering in the Quantity field and the corresponding dollar amount in the Unit Price field. This will avoid creating the wrong amount of PTags for your order.
