Dear Comptroller Team,
As previously communicated, we are excited to announce eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) is releasing new functionality that impacts the Vendor Registration, Set-Up Process, and Vendor Maintenance Process. To support your use and adoption, please see the below information on the new features and how they will impact your day-to-day Comptroller tasks.
- Automation of the current GAD Form 710 and X10 processes: Vendor Coordinators, Procurement Officers, or Accounts Payable employees will now initiate these requests in the eMMA portal instead of completing a manual form.
- Vendor Self Registration: Allows vendors to self-serve and initiate both new vendor setup and change requests.
- Automated approval workflows: GAD will have complete visibility to all requests for new vendors, changes to existing vendors, and requests and changes to vendor banking information. GAD will review and action these requests directly in the eMMA portal after they have been approved by the Agency Vendor Coordinators.
- Automated Vendor Validation: the eMMA portal will automatically validate the Vendor Record including performing validation checks on: Vendor Address, Tax ID, Sanctioned Entities list, and Bank Routing Number.
- Vendors will be required to designate a new Trusted Advisor contact/role: This will allow Vendors to set up or change banking or payment information.
Training support, including a User Guide and Quick Reference Guides, will be available prior to the release. Our next communication will share more details about how to sign up for training.
If you have any questions regarding this email or the eMMA Project, please contact the eMMA Project Team at dgs.emmaprojectteam@maryland.gov.
Thank you,
The eMMA Project Team
