Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Who is my buyer?

Answer: Click here to find your buyer (by Requester number)

2. When creating a change order, can you add a line to the existing Purchase Order?

Answer. No, adding a line to an existing Purchase Order will create another Purchase Order for that added line (two separate Purchase Orders).

3. How do I setup my requisition if there are going to be multiple invoices coming in?

Answer: Check the box “amount only” within the requisition.

4. How do I purchase custom items with Logos or branding?

Answer: Branding approval should be obtained from Marketing and/or URCM prior to creating the requisition. The email approval should be attached to the requisition along with the artwork. If branding approval has not been obtained by marketing and/or URCM prior to the requisition, the art work should be attached to the requisition so that the buyer can insert the special approver to approve the branding – please note that extended processing times apply in instances that approval was not obtained prior to submitting requisition.

7. I cancelled my requisition but the encumbrance is still showing on Cognos. How do I fix it?

Answer: After cancelling a requisition, you will still need to complete a budget check at the end to release the funds back to your account.

8. I need to get my agreement signed before the start of the new fiscal year. How do I do that?

Answer: You have two ways, depending on if the new year is available in EIS.

If the new fiscal year is available to budget checked against, enter in the requisition for $0.00 with a budget date of 9/1/xx (xx being the future fiscal year). The requisition will get processed and contract reviewed and signed. After the PO Roll (usually 2^nd/3^rd weekend in September), you will need to execute a change order to that requisition to add funds to the line so it can then pay invoices.

If the new fiscal year is not available, you can enter in a $0.00 req with the current date as the budget date. Include a note that the requisition is get a contract reviewed and signed. That req and PO will then be closed. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, you will need to submit a new requisition with the signed contract to establish a PO that will allow invoices to be paid.
