Magnetic Springs is back in buckeye Buy with a two-line catalog for either 5-gallon water service or filtration unit service. The pricing for each is visible in the long description of the item. Requestors should enter the expected total for annual service in the quantity field without decimal points. This will produce a one-line purchase order for the total amount of service through the year. The dollar line structure allows for multiple invoices to be paid during the service period. The account number, service location and best days for delivery must be included in the Memo to Supplier field of the requisition before service can begin. Each delivery location should be on a separate purchase order. See the Magnetic Springs contract book page for supplier contact information for new account set-up or customer service questions. The full post includes a visual that provides guidance for Magnetic Springs order entry.
The 16-digit number found on BuckID cards has been reclassified from S3 to S4 institutional data. This means that it is now considered restricted data and requires stricter safeguards due to its various applications, including functionality as a debit card number, potentially increasing the risk of identity theft and financial loss if compromised.
Note that this change does not apply to the staff or student nine-digit ID number, which is also printed on BuckID cards. This number remains at an S2 classification level.
