Important Note about Requisitions with Zero Dollar Lines

Sometimes, requisitions you submit to Procurement will have a line with $0 (zero dollars).  Usually, this is a free sample or to document the transaction liability reasons, etc.  In any case, zero-dollar requisitions occur every once in a while.  

Here's the important part:  until we implement a system fix that's in the works, please let us know via Ask Finance if you submit a requisition including a zero-dollar line.  All we need is the requisition number!  

Why?  Because currently, a system constraint in Workday sends requisitions with a zero-dollar line into a sort of "requisition purgatory" from which it's very difficult to filter for them without identifying data.  

We should have a permanent solution for this very soon, but until then, if you provide us with information upfront, we'll be able to rescue your requisition and get it on its merry way quickly.

Note:  If your entire requisition has a zero-dollar amount, a Contract Request should be submitted instead.  A Contract Request is used when you need a contract reviewed and signed by PSDS and you do not need a PO issued to a supplier.  See this Quick Reference Guide for more info.
