                   Arkansas should define how POs, PO-related documents and electronic

                   Develop test plans and corresponding test scripts for unit testing,

                   risk at go-live. Arkansas should be responsible for developing and
                   successfully executing these test plans. Errors and failures should be
                   documented and reported to SciQuest as needed. Error resolution
                   should be thoroughly understood by the Arkansas system
                   administrator, functional representative or technical lead and proper

                    Consider automating the change order process in RazorBuy to ensure
                    purchase order data is congruent between two systems. Arkansas
                    should explore one of two options for change order processing as an
                    alternative to processing change orders in BASIS alone: 1)Work with
                    SciQuest to automate the change order process during the PO Export
                    integration design and build. 2)Utilize SciQuest's custom form
                    functionality to create and route PO change orders. These changes
                    could be routed for approval before being manually entered/updated
                    in BASIS. This would be a manual work step (vs automation of change                                                                      Do we need the ability to update/make

               RazorBuy could be used for stockroom purchases in two ways: 1.

               an Arkansas requester for purchase. 2. Purchasing from the VWR
