Two drop-in office hour sessions will be available in July. The sessions will be focused on year-end needs and allow units to stop in if there are questions related to finance or supply chain as we approach year-end close. No formal agenda or material will be presented.

This is a reminder that bottled water services should only use the following spend category and commodity code combination.  

Bottled Water Services

• Spend Category: SC10410 – Beverages-nonalcoholic
• Commodity Code: 502022301 – Water

Some requisitions have been submitted that are incorrectly using Spend Category: SC10502 – Utilities-Chilled Water when ordering bottled water is what was intended.

Freight charges should not be listed as a line item on the requisition. Freight will be applied to the freight section of the header of the purchase order when the invoice is paid.

Paying freight charges on the header of the purchase order will allow for consistent reporting of freight charges. 

Contact your local Service Center or the Procurement Shared Service Center with questions.

For those using the Requisitions app to start a new purchase, the landing page looks more streamlined with a recent Workday update. As of May 6, all forms of a purchase requisition can be launched from a single block called Ordering Methods. For a detailed description of the changes, review the new job aid in the Administrative Resource Center (ARC).

There are several recent supplier name changes in Buckeye Buy. The links shared access current contract details information and will eventually change with the new naming.
