TCSG System Office and all Technical Colleges must conduct all purchasing activity in Team Georgia Marketplace. Team Georgia Marketplace is a set of state-of-the-art electronic PeopleSoft procurement tools that supports various state purchasing functions, including a requisitioning and workflow approval process, electronic bidding, advertisement of procurement solicitations and contract opportunities, purchasing card reconciliation, registration of suppliers and contracts management. 

TCSG System Office and each Technical College have established and implemented their own business processes and approval workflows within SciQuest and Team Georgia Marketplace (PeopleSoft).  The security and approval levels and workflow processes, whether in SciQuest or TGM (PeopleSoft), are left to the discretion and requirements of the individual Technical College. 

In addition, TCSG System Office and all Technical Colleges must reconcile and approve all Purchasing Card transactions in TGM.  Some colleges are set up with reconciliation to be done by individual cardholders and cardholder supervisors.  Oher colleges may utilize a manual paper process with designated assigned “Proxies” performing reconciliation in TGM.  All Purchasing Card transactions must be allocated to the General Ledger through the TGM reconciliation process within thirty (30) days of their billing statement date.
