Purchasing Options
Because of the variety of options within SFS there are many decisions
that need to be made to set up the basic framework of the system. Some of
those decisions involve populating the various control tables and making
choices about what features you will be using. Your campus administration
(i.e. controller, accounts payable manager and purchasing director) has
already made most of the decisions about the features of the system that
you will be using. The following information gives you a background of the
various tables and options within SFS. Check with your campus
administration for variations in how these options are used on your
campus.
Some purchasing options that are the same across all campuses are set up
as a business unit of SHARE. Others are unique for each campus and are set
up by the specific campus business unit. The following table lists the
purchasing options and identifies them as a shared table or a business
unit specific table.
