During the week of December 11, enhancements will be made to select Buckeye Buy items that will allow the commodity code to automatically populate on purchase requisitions. During the transition, requests to add or update affected items will be held until maintenance is complete. The estimated maintenance complete date is Friday, December 15.
For UNIV purchases only - If the commodity code is not automatically populated, the commodity code field is not required.
B&H Photo will be closed in observance of Yom Kippur on Monday, September 25 and also for Sukkot on Friday, September 29 through Sunday, October 8.
Purchase orders issued during the closures will still be accepted but product will not ship until B&H reopens. Please contact the Marketplace Team at BF-Marketplace@osu.edu with questions.
OSU Surplus now offers a catalog in Buckeye Buy for small, medium, and large internal transfer deliveries to Columbus campus locations. A special request line is also available in the catalog. Contact OSU Surplus at surplus@osu.edu with questions.
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.
In order to improve the Workday purchasing experience for end users, on Monday, May 8, the SC99999 spend category will be renamed from:
OFFICE USE ONLY - Do Not Change (SC99999) to *Do Not Know (SC99999)
This renaming allows for this spend category to default as the first selection option when Spend Categories are searched in transactions.
Blanket orders are used for transactions that occur very frequently (daily or multiple times a week), have a high variation of product types, have undetermined timing, and are not available in Buckeye Buy.
