Questions about Suppliers?
Suppliers (also known as vendors or bidders) refer to individuals or organizations that do business with the State of Minnesota. Suppliers can view events, make bids, and review payments on the Supplier Portal.
Review Purchase Orders for PO Close
In preparation for the year-end close, agencies can start reviewing their purchase orders now. There are several ways to cancel or close purchase orders depending on how it was created and how it was used. Consider attending a Cancel and Close Purchase Order webinar.
Here are some quick reference guides to help you.
You can also view a summary in the Cancel and Close Purchase Orders training video.
Reminder: Purchase Order Close the Weekend of May 17
As part of the year end clean-up activities, the PO Recon (PO Close) job is scheduled to run the weekend of May 17. The PO Reconciliation Job closes purchase orders that have been fully matched by setting the Status to “Complete” See the SWIFT Procurement Year End Processing Tips for additional information.
The PO Close job will run three additional times this year to assist in closing documents: June 28, July 26, and the hard close weekend of August 16.
Remember, you can prevent the PO Reconciliation Job from closing a purchase order by clicking the “Hold From Further Processing” checkbox on the purchase order header. You can use this checkbox if you plan on increasing the purchase order at a later date.
Use CRO for Orders with MSC Industrial Supply Co.
Due to an error in the Punchout process with MSC Industrial Supply Co., on Contract Release T-572(5), please use a CRO when placing orders until further notice. MNIT is working with the vendor to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible.
This error only impacts MSC Industrial Supply Co. Agencies should continue to use the Punchout process for other vendors.
