Shout out to the micro-purchase team: Aaron Prince (BR1F), Jan Miller (BR2F), Hoa Hua (BR3F), and Marvin Muhammad (BR4R)!
The micro-purchase team designed, planned, and implemented a new direct payment process in FY23. This new process utilizes the micro-purchase sheets and an automated bot to create obligations and invoices with no manual data entry into Pegasys. The new direct payment process increases automation, decreases workload, and improves business process performance. Well done, team!
