New PReq Application training

To:        UIHC Requesters and Initiators

From:    Chris Leichty - University Purchasing Department

Re:       PReqs application training on “How to create Catalog Orders”  

 

PReqs Application:

On January 14, 2008 UIHC and the Purchasing Department will be implementing the new PeopleSoft 8.8 Inventory and Purchasing modules at UIHC.  With this implementation, the PReqs (Purchasing Requisition System) application will provide enhanced functionality as well as strengthened security. 

 

UIHC staff: Currently, supplies are ordered via multiple methods: By faxing or taking a written list to Processed Stores; by using the on-line item master; and by calling in orders. The PReqs application replaces all of these systems including the On-line Item Master System.  You are invited to attend a PReq training class to see how to enter and use the PReqs application for Catalog Orders. 

 

The new Catalog Orders will be used for Items Sourcing from a Warehouse and Items Sourcing from a Vendor that have a PeopleSoft UI Item number.  With this new functionality you will be able to place orders for items without knowing or caring if they are stocked in the warehouse or purchased from an external vendor.  The system will make this determination and create multiple requisitions when necessary.

 

UIHC Requesters and Initiators please register for a class by providing your name, email, phone number, and desired session to UI Learning & Development at 121 USB, Fax 335-2644, or email dorian-walker@uiowa.edu.  You must register at least 6 days prior to the session you would like to attend in order to receive a confirmation for your registration.
