"Who Buys What?" Page Retirement
The “Who Buys What?” section of the Purchasing website has been retired and removed as of Friday, June 3. This section of the site was largely outdated and did not contain current category manager or contract information.
Remember, the best way to contact Purchasing staff with any questions is by using the Support Form. The Help Desk will gather more information about your question, then assign it to the appropriate category manager or support staff member.
Automated Supplier Messages
Starting in June, certain suppliers will receive reminder notifications from the Supplier Data Management (SDM) or Accounts Payable (AP). These messages are automatically sent on the first business day of each month to the contact information the supplier has on file. Messages are sent from the email address uprocure@iu.edu.
Below is a breakdown of the automated messages that will be sent:
- AP Invoicing Requirements: This reminder is sent to all Profile 1, or US company, suppliers who have completed registration in the past 30 days. This message describes the invoicing standards that must be met by a supplier invoice in order to receive payment from Indiana University.
- Registration Reminders: All supplier types invited to register in the past 30 days that have not completed registration will also receive an email reminder. These reminders are personalized, contain links to supplier help documentation, and contact information for the appropriate SDM team should the supplier need assistance.
Both reminders aim to improve communication between IU’s supplier network and our SDM and AP teams. The ultimate goal being faster registration and fewer invoicing errors!
