This article helps you understand and manage mini requisitions within the CMEI Project Management Center (PMC) database. Mini requisitions are crucial for connecting official award actions in STRIPES with project management features in the PMC, especially for updating reporting checklists and deliverables due dates. By using mini requisitions, you ensure timely notifications and accurate tracking of your project's commitments.
Ensure that the STRIPES requisition is complete. You need the STRIPES requisition number to initiate the mini requisition in PMC.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My project dates in PMC look wrong. I already updated them, but the deliverables haven't changed. Why?
A: Simply changing project or budget dates in the PMC project/award record will not update deliverables or notifications. You must follow the mini-requisition process outlined in this guide to generate a new/updated FARC, which then updates the deliverable due dates.
Q: I created a mini requisition, but now I need to change a date. The fields are locked. What happened?
A: You can only edit items on a mini-requisition when it is "in-process/pending." Once you acknowledge or sign the mini requisition, it becomes not editable. You would need to create a new mini requisition for further changes if the original has been fully processed.
Q: I submitted changes to my FARC, but I don't see any confirmation, and the system seems stuck. What should I do?
A: After clicking "Submit Changes" on the FARC, you need to wait until "Update Successful" with a date and time appears at the top of the screen. This update can take up to a minute to complete. Do not navigate away or select "Return to the Requisition Overview" before seeing this confirmation.
Q: Do I always have to complete both acknowledgements (Requisition Approval and Award Action Approval) right after each other?
A: While you receive notifications for each approval, you can choose to wait until the Contracting Officer has signed the modification. At that point, you can go back into the mini-requisition and complete both the "Acknowledge Requisition Approval" and "Acknowledge Award Action Approval" steps consecutively.
