Sourcing Requests and Procurement Exceptions
A Sourcing Request is used to request the creation of a Sourcing Project and Event to conduct a solicitation when the initiating user is not able to create or complete a Sourcing Project on their own. The requesting user will fill out the ‘Sourcing Request Attributes’ section, select the template, and create the Sourcing Request. They will then add the ‘Solicitation Document’ to the Request before submitting it to another user via an ‘Approval Task.’
The approving user will then turn the Request into a Sourcing Project on behalf of the initiating user. This can be done between users within an agency, or an agency user can submit a Sourcing Request to P&C if they are attempting to solicit Non-IT Goods over their agency’s delegation.
