FOAPAL is your Friend …………….
Set Default Index Codes/ Chart/Location /Account Codes
This section is for knowing and setting up your FOAPAL (Fund-Org-Account-ProgramActivity-Location) so that it will be easier and quicker later when doing requisitions and it
helps track accuracy for Budgeting.
My Tri-C Buy is a procurement tool, but it is not a Budget Tool and the My Tri-C Buy feeds
back to Banner as the ERP system and Banner Budget – so your reports and activity are
accurate.
•
Users always need to check Banner Budget first before launching a requisition / order or it
may get returned for insufficient funds.
Every requisition and every form has a FOAPAL tied to it for routing whether dollars are
associated with the transaction or not.

• Forms are routed as if they were a Requisition, in this way it allows for the routing
and sign-off on the form by Budget Unit Leaders electronically while also checking for
sufficient Budget and then allows the Account Payable Department to be able to
Approve electronically and then Flip into Payment into Banner electronically as well –
without the need to ever print the form. ($0 / FOAPAL)
• Remember to Scan & attach all required back-up information with the forms, such as
W-9s/W-8s, project detail, Invoices, quotes, etc… this information will stay with the
form and connected to the Check for future audit/compliance needs.

header level as well to communicate with Procurement/Accounts Payable.

3 Way Match versus 2 Way Match
•Tri-C has been following a 2 Way Match rule for paying supplier invoices for the
last 3 years +, which means we pay based on Invoice matching the Purchase Order,
and do not require a receipt.
• Starting with the My Tri-C Buy Launch, Tri-C will now be able to do a 3 Way Match
rule for paying supplier invoices tied to a Threshold. This means – a receipt will
now be required on an Invoice for a 3 Way Match supplier, over a $ 5K threshold,
or it cannot get paid.
• In talking with Departments like Plant Operations and Construction, we are going to
pilot about 350 suppliers for this 3 Way Match Process. We have selected Suppliers
mainly that are Service companies, Blanket Order Suppliers, and Suppliers that
supply Construction, IT equipment, or equipment in general that are high dollar and
there is a higher risk associated with it. The Requisitioner will receive an email and
then need to respond and do a Receipt –before AP can pay the supplier.

Tri-C contracted items as well as non–contracted items. Some Punch-outs will appear when searching
within the My Tri-C Buy site, varies by supplier technology.

Internal notes.
If the Order is a Blanket Order – Type “Blanket Order” in the Internal Notes of the requisition.
24
My Tri-C Buy
Non-Catalog Suppliers / Orders
Reminders when ordering ….
In order to fully optimize repetitive, Non-catalog orders Procurement needs to have more details on the
spend and the actual items that are being purchased. (Ex. Warren, Columbus Clay)
Procurement can then work with each department to figure out and set up some options that will make
ordering faster –
a) After first order work to “Copy Cart “ into favorites and list all the items as saved favorites so
ordering will go faster o
b) Establish a price file and load the items into the price file mgmt so they appear in a search and are
pre-loaded,
c) Develop a custom form with the saved items.
Depending on frequency of ordering , all of the above are good options. In the past, many of these
details have not been submitted into banner and therefore Procurement does not have the information,
but we can work to optimize this over the next several months.

Notes / Reminders/Tips
Catering Orders:
•Catering orders that were previously sent through the Catertrax link / punch-out will still be
placed through Aramark/Catertrax.
•The main difference – is that instead of the link being on My Tri-C Space, now it will be on
the My Tri-C Buy and be an icon to Click.
•Once Clicked – it launches you to the same Catertrax link as before with the same menus
and ordering process.
•However, it will Require that you come back it into My Tri-C Buy and it will Assign a
Purchase Order Number – that is New. As part of the regular PO process, it will route and
check for budget funds and authorization. Confirmations will still be sent from Catertrax /
Aramark. Invoices here do not have to be sent to AP, they will be sent electronically from
Aramark/Catertrax to the AP Department.
