Tips   Add milestones to a requisition

A milestone represents an agreed upon deliverable or commitment by the supplier and is typically tied to a due date and payment. You can use milestones on a requisition to build the requisition by phases, such as adding items like "Phase One."

Users can verify milestones using milestone trackers (MT), which can trigger Accounts Payable (A/P) to pay fees; milestones that are not completed by a due date can also flag A/P to withhold or adjust payments.

Screen details

To display the Milestones screen, click Contract in the Navigation Panel or Create in the central "swoosh" or image on the Home page, and then Contract Request on the Create a New Request screen. After defining the contract, click Milestones.

 
  1. In the Add Items screen, browse or search the catalog for a milestone item, and then click Add to Cart.

    Depending on your configuration, you might have catalog items for specific milestones, such as "Phase One", or you might have general milestone items such as "Milestone (With Itemization)" and "Milestone (No Itemization)".

  2. In the Milestone screen, enter the title and description for the milestone, and then enter values for the remaining fields, such as the completion due date.

    The fields on this screen vary by item, and some might be unique to your company. For details on a particular item on this screen, contact your system administrator.

  3. If this milestone allows or requires itemization, click Add to add items, and then click Calculate to calculate the amount for the milestone based on the items you added.
