Using Price and Availability Check
During requisition entry, you can update the price of an item with the most current price in a Marketplace. Click the Check Price and Availability button on the Requisition Summary - Item Description page. If the supplier's price in a Marketplace is the same as the price in the item tables, there is no change to the page. If the supplier's price is different, a message appears which informs you that the price is changing to the supplier's price. The Item Description page then displays the Marketplace price.
Use the Check Price and Availability function to also compare the supplier's available quantity in a Marketplace to the requisition quantity. If the quantity requested exceeds the available quantity, a message appears which provides the opportunity for you to change the requisition quantity.
Note: The Check Price and Availability button only appears if this is a Marketplace item that is loaded from a CUP file, and the user has been assigned the eProcurement role action of PRICEANDAVAILCHECK.
