Have you heard? The Purchasing team has moved to Lang Hall 122, we are now part of the office of the Sr. VP for Finance and Operations and are called Procurement Services!
The Procurement Services team, consisting of James Tanzsoch, Molly Ungs and Jon Westhoff, has been busy this summer working to improve and streamline purchasing processes for campus. New contracts have been negotiated, iProcurement is now implemented, and even more contracts will be available this fall. To help inform you of news and changes this newsletter will be sent out monthly. If you have any questions regarding Procurement Services, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.
New Notification in Ebiz- Confirm Receipt of Order: This weekly notification is to remind users they have a PO to receive against. Timely receipt of invoices allows suppliers to be paid more promptly. The notification is determined by the “need by date” entered when the requisition is completed. If you receive a notification to “Confirm Receipt of Order” and you have received the items, click “Receive”. If you have not physically received the items, check the box “Not Received” and the workflow will be routed to a buyer for analysis. If you are unsure or have questions, contact Jon Westhoff at 273-6246.
UNI Purchasing User: This responsibility in eBiz is required to access iProcurement. To obtain responsibility please utilize the Security Request System (SRS) in MYUNIverse. If you have problems please contact James Tanzosch at 273-5811.
