RE:  PReqs training for the new PReq Application that will be replacing SIGS at General Stores

We have started training for the new Preq application that will be replacing SIGS at General Stores. There are many sessions still available. The training will give you an overview of the new system and most importantly show you ways to make your ordering easy by setting up commonly used items as favorites. Please sign up now, the new Preq ordering application will be in production late in August. As an exact date is set, you will be notified. General Stores will no longer accept Faxed orders when the new system is live, so please sign up for access and for training. Note: The new Preq application does not apply to Gas Cylinder orders. If you order Gas Cylinders, continue to use the current process until notified otherwise.

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.

Note:  Nursing in-patient units should continue placing your office supply and general stores orders the way you’ve been doing them for now.  You will shortly be receiving information regarding your access and use of this system and the eBuy system.
