New! 3 New Vendors Join eProcurement Marketplace
We are pleased to announce three new eProcurement vendors;
Invitrogen, Continental Laboratory Products (CLP), and the new Qiagen punchout catalog. University
wide contracts have been established for all eProcurement vendors; therefore, there is no direct
buy limitation, no need for special quotes, and no sole source documentation requirements.
Remember, there is NO MARKUP in eProcurement. All displayed
prices are University contract prices.

Effective June 11- Place Orders for Ethyl Alcohol
in eProcurement
AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE:Only “authorized users” may place alcohol orders.
If you are not already authorized, please click on the link to the authorization form. It must
be signed by a unit head such as department chair, administrator, director
or Principal Investigator. Fax to (206) 685-3686 or email the authorization form to eprocure@u, per the instructions on the form.
“Authorized users” are those departmental staff who place the orders in eProcurement.
By signing the authorization form, the unit head is agreeing to comply with
relevant policies regarding the purchase, use and storage of ethyl alcohol within their unit. (See UW APS 15.1.)
Please note that products are not available in as small quantities as were previously
available through University Stores. Currently, the smallest quantities available are
24 pints or 4 gallon cases.
NEW ORDERING PROCESS
- Log into eProcurement
https://ar.admin.washington.edu/AribaBuyer/uw/login.asp
- Click on Create - "Requisition"
- Title your requisition then click "Next"
- Enter "ethanol" or "alcohol" in Keywords and click on "Search" (DO NOT PUNCHOUT TO FISHER)
- Find required item and click on "Add to Cart"
- Click on "Checkout" on the left sidebar
- Verify that budget and address are correct (for further instructions see training manual)
- Click on "Submit"
NOTE: In order to assure a smooth transition, all individuals that were previously authorized to purchase ethyl alcohol have been preloaded into the system. New users will be required to submit
an authorization form to the eProcurement help desk prior or their first order.
Please remember, this change will not affect the University's continuing need to carefully manage the ordering, storage and use of alcohol. We would also like to remind campus alcohol users to
order frequently and limit storage to reduce risk and assure fire code compliance, and to maintain accurate mychem inventories.
If you have questions or need further assistance please contact the eProcurement help desk at 685-3558 or
eprocure@u.washington.edu

New eProcurement Requisition Splitting Process and Suggested
Reconciliation Practices
Due to a change in the underlying application supporting eProcurement,
there will be changes in how purchases are charged to budgets. In the past, purchases were
processed on the detail level and special customizations were put into place to itemize
the expenditure against the departmental accounting structure (budget, object/sub object,
task, option, and project). As in the past, orders will be entered into eProcurement with
different budgets and object codes, but now they will be processed on separate purchase
orders and charged separately by budget number and object code. Purchase orders and budget
charging documents/transactions will have only have one budget number and one object code,
so you may receive multiple EP
(purchase order) numbers and multiple charges on the BAR for one S number (requisition number). For additional details
view the .pdf.
