With the rollout of the new Workday ordering process on May 8, several job aids have been removed from the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).
Changes to Buckeye Buy are now live! The job aids associated with ordering goods and services are now updated in the Supply Chain section of the Administrative Resource Center (ARC). For a list of updated job aids, view the list in a previous NewsLink article.
Now that we are live with the new ordering process, here are a few reminders:
We are a week away from implementing changes to Buckeye Buy. There are a few more items to share before we go live on May 8, 2023.
One of the changes associated with the move to ordering of goods and services into Workday is with requisition sourcing rules. Starting on Monday, May 8, when you create a requisition for multiple goods, some may be fulfilled from inventory, instead of from an external supplier. The intent behind these sourcing changes is to use any inventory on hand first before ordering more from the external supplier.
The job aids listed below will be updated on May 8 to accommodate a new enhancement to Workday ordering that reduces the clicks needed to place an order.
