Click the Shopping Cart on the Add Items screen to view items you have added to your request.

1. Enter a full description of the item. Include as much information as possible to assist in approving and sourcing the contract sourcing request (CSR). The description is used as the item title in the RFX in Ariba Enterprise Sourcing.
2. Specify other information as necessary:
   • The commodity code is used to group the product in a category, such as “Furniture.” When you select a commodity code, a corresponding partitioned commodity code is automatically selected. If you display the partitioned commodity code chooser, it lists only the partitioned commodity codes that are related to the selected commodity code. To list all available partitioned commodity codes in the chooser, change the commodity code to no value.
   • Change the unit of measure (UOM) if the default does not apply. If you change a catalog item's UOM, a new non-catalog item is added to the CSR (and to the related CR). The original catalog item remains on the request (for historical purposes). Use care changing any UOM.
   • Enter a price, or the price you prefer to pay, for the item. This information appears in the corresponding RFX in Ariba Enterprise Sourcing, but is not disclosed to suppliers.
   • Select one or more invited suppliers from those available in your company’s Ariba Contract Compliance system. When you set up the RFX in Ariba Enterprise Sourcing, you can add other suppliers.
3. Click OK to add the non-catalog item to the request, or click Cancel to return to the previous screen without adding the non-catalog item.
