NCS

This screen contains the details of the now decommissioned non-contributing suppliers or NCS. These were companies or individuals that we have paid via RCS in the past to supply goods and services that were not editorial content (e.g. travel agents, hotels, mobile phone suppliers etc.). These records have been disabled in RCS and payments to them must be processed in iProcurement. If you need more details or help paying an NCS then please contact the Procurement team (procurement.team@theguardian.com).

Records set up incorrectly as NCS?

You will find that a NCS record will not show up in the lookup when you are trying to create a new Expense/Other payment. If you try to commission or contract with an NCS the relevant buttons are disabled.

If you believe that a record is incorrectly set up and it should be a contributor record then please contact the RCS administrator, and they can change it for you.
