Campus Announcement

To:      General Stores Customers

From:  Gary Anderson/General Stores and Chris Leichty/Purchasing

Subject: PReqs Application new ordering system replacement for SIGS

In August the SIGS system for ordering items stocked at General Stores will be replaced by a PReqs Application.  Our goal is for all General Stores customers to place their orders on-line via PReqs. 

In preparation for this release, training has been scheduled across campus.

• General Stores Inventory Catalog Order Training Classes to learn how to order on-line from General Stores using the new PReqs Application
• General Stores Inventory Catalog Order Training Materials

If you have not completed the PReqs Access form to let us know you are a SIGS user and will need access to the General Stores Catalog for on-line ordering please fill out this form and email a scanned copy to JoAnn Dolezal joann-dolezal@uiowa.edu or Chris Leichty chris-leichty@uiowa.edu
or send a copy to Purchasing (202 PCO) via Campus Mail.

• If you are already a requester, update your information and complete the form to gain access to the General Stores Catalog for PReq ordering. This is for the new system that replaces SIGS.
• If you are a new requester please check the new requester check box and complete the form.    

Please refer to the PReqs Inventory website for more information including updates, training schedules and training materials.

Note:  For UIHC and other users that are currently ordering from Hospital Processed Stores you will be using the same PReqs Application to order your General Stores items.

In the future General Stores will not accept faxed or paper orders.  We will work with departments to make this transition as easy as possible.
