Mandatory Source Master Agreement Lines

The Mandatory Source Master Agreement Lines (MSMALS) inquiry allows you to view each Master Agreement commodity line identified as a mandatory source (that is, the Mandatory Source flag is selected). If the Mandatory Source flag is selected when the MA is submitted to Final, the system inserts a new line on MSMALS for each Authorized Department/Unit within the Master Agreement’s effective dates. If the Mandatory Source flag is selected, then the Mandatory Source functionality is initiated if a user tries to purchase that commodity. Refer to the “Mandatory Source Functionality” topic for more information.
