Alternative B -- Implement a Contracts Procurment Requisition Pre-Approval Process -- This would eliminate ERP system errors created by utilizing incorrect information and shortening the time to execute a contract modification.
Alternative C - Implement a shared drive system utilizing the local network to track funding actions by contract. This effort would create a filing system housed completely on the LAN. Specialists would save their funding action files on the network using a predetermined organized format, as well as a universal naming system for different document types.
