The department makes a payment against BCO business contracts and consultant agreements by creating a departmental BFS purchase order including the steps below.

• On the PO page (Header Details), select PO Type “BusContrct” ; click OK
• Click “Add Comments”
• Click “Copy Standard Comments”
• Select Comment Type “BUS”, and Comment ID “1”

• After creating the BFS purchase order number, the department forwards the purchase order number to BCO. BCO will cross reference it in BCO's database of contracts, and furnish BCO's internal contract number to the department for referencing in the BFS purchase order.

Do not send the purchase order to the vendor.

To increase the dollar amount of a purchase order:

First an amendment to the agreement (issued through BCO) needs to be fully signed, and then the department creates a change order to the BFS departmental purchase order. Do not send the change order to the vendor.
