What numbers appear on my
BAR? (Budget Activity Report)
eProcurement assigns two
numbers:
Requisition number -
example: S37
A requisition number is
assigned to each requisition. A requisition number
begins with "S".
This number will appear
on invoices from University Stores.
Order number - example: EP55
After a requisition is
approved, the requisition is assigned an order number
that begins with "EP".
The order number appears
on packing slips from vendors, on invoices from
University Stores, and on the BAR.
