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:
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.
A new university-wide contract for local accommodations and event space was recently awarded to 25 properties by the Sourcing Team. Sourcing has pre-negotiated terms and rates with local hotels and event centers for use by Ohio State as part of a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The scope of these contracts includes individual and group accommodations, meeting and event space, AV/TV service, food and beverage services, and additional services for events at each property. Pre-negotiated terms include pricing, cancellation, attrition, concessions, etc.
One way to prepare for bringing the Buckeye Buy experience directly into Workday is to confirm your work space (deliver-to address) is correct to ensure accurate deliveries. To confirm your work space, log in to Workday, navigate to your profile, and select Job from the menu. On the Job Details tab, locate the Work Space field below the Location field. If there is no Work Space field, one is not set up on your profile yet.
A new university-wide contract was recently awarded to four flower and gift basket suppliers by the Sourcing team. Instances where you might order from these suppliers could include expressions of acknowledgement and support for life events such as birth or adoption of a child, injury/illness of an employee, or the injury, illness or death of an immediate family member, etc.
