Effective October 23, 2023, UTShare will no longer accept “negative” or “discount” lines on a Special Item Requisition. Using negative lines creates a myriad of issues in Budgets/Commitment Control which
cause cost center and project available budget amounts to be incorrect.
Going forward, if a supplier provides a quote showing a discount line (usually shown as a negative line) there are two options:
-
Request a revised quote from the supplier with the discount applied to/built into the line item prices, or
-
Enter only the amounts from the quote for the items being purchased and the related dollar amounts, and apply a non-PO discount/negative line amount on your payment voucher.
We certainly appreciate and want to take advantage of any and all discounts offered by suppliers, but they must be handled correctly in UTShare so that Budgets reflect accurate encumbrances and available
balances.
