Analysis Recommendations for Daily Tasks

  • Research possible reasons that may cause pricing exceptions (including review of tiers that may need updating in your GPO website, distributor markups/mark-downs, and GPO price updates not yet updated in your Item Master)
  • Document your findings on the green and yellow exception flags for reference purposes. Any information which is documented in the flags goes to the Resolved Exceptions queue which is available for six months
  • Look at your exceptions in My Exchange Orders, and conduct a 3-way comparison of PO price, vendor acknowledged price, and contract price
