In April, *DEFINE VP2 and VPE document creators will see additional audits when entering payment transactions indicated as they relate to a contract. Payments will begin to audit against contract dates and amounts taken directly from a new interface with Contracts+ to help ensure payments under a business contract do not exceed their approved dollar limits. A new contract tracking tool will allow users to view transactions by contract number, along with basic information from Contracts+, including a summary of spend for each contract.
Phase one of this project went live in July 2022 and involved the addition of an indicator field to VP2 and VPE documents to assist offices across campus in associating payment transactions with contracts in Contracts+.
