If you can't find what you need in the catalog, click Create Non-Catalog Item and describe the non-catalog items you need so that a purchasing agent can locate and order them for you. Non-catalog orders can take longer to process than catalog orders.

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.

When you add non-catalog items to an item level contract request (CR), this screen is named “Add Item Level Pricing Terms.”

For requisitions:

1. Enter a full description of the item. Include as much information as possible to help the purchasing agent process the order.
2. Specify other information as necessary:
   • Enter an actual or estimated price; do not leave the field blank. The total value (actual or estimated) of the requisition determines the default approvers. The approvers must have a price in order to approve the request.
   • If you change the price or quantity, click Update Total to update the requisition total.
3. Click OK to add the non-catalog item to the requisition and display the Shopping Cart screen where all items currently included in the request are summarized, or click Cancel to return to the previous screen without adding the non-catalog item.

   Note: If you clicked the option to not show the Shopping Cart screen after adding an item, then the Add Items screen remains displayed after you create the non-catalog item. In this case, if you are finished adding items, click Next to review and submit the request for approval, or Exit to stop working with the request. If you exit and choose to save the request, it has a status of Composing and is listed on the Composing screen. You can edit the request at a later time and then submit it for approval.

For item level contracts:

1. Enter a full description of the item, including details about the item discount or other information you have agreed on with the supplier.
2. Enter the commodity code, supplier part number, supplier auxiliary part ID, and unit of measure (UOM). When editing a contract sourcing request (CSR), 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.
3. Enter the negotiated price you have agreed on with the supplier, changing the currency if necessary.
4. Click OK to add the item and display the Add/Edit Item Level Pricing Terms screen, where you can add spending limits and discount terms for the item, or click Cancel to return to the previous screen without adding the non-catalog item.
