Cart Return to KFS
Cart return errors between the two platforms (KFS and UCIBuy) can occur for various reasons. Sometimes an item in the UCIBuy cart may be missing a Commodity Code (No Value) and users typically see a blank screen.
Action: Include a screenshot of the UCIBuy cart and item missing the code, supplier name and include this information in an email to UCIBuy@uci.edu.
Error on PO Doc
PO’s with this particular error have not been successfully transmitted to the supplier due to either a technical disconnect or in some instances, the unavailability of a selected item in the cart. Report the error to UCIBuy. If the PO cannot be resent, you will be advised to follow the steps in the How to Copy Items to New Cart (PDF) and submit a fresh requisition into workflow.
