I've also used the tactic to get vendors to lower price Hey Mr. Vendor I can approve myself anything 5K or less, anything over 5K has to go to higher management and it could take 6 weeks or not get approved. If you'll lower the price from 5,495 to 4995 I'll get a PO out today <vbg> -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of rob@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 12:03 PM To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: RE: WDSC v5 (was: SEU vs. ?) Easy, You don't ask for all developers in one chunk. You ask one at a time. No one turns down a $59 expense. However, if they have to get a manager to sign off on any expense over $x then piecemeal it. An IBMer told me of one person who managed to expense a mainframe this way. Accounting has respect for those who can play the game. Rob Berendt -- "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
