New Punchout Catalogs
Several new PunchOut catalogs have been added to BUY.IU since February including:
| PunchOut Catalog Name | What they offer | |
 | Genesee Scientific | Scientific supplies |
 | Blackhawk Network | Digital and physical gift cards |
 | Grainger by Guy Brown | Industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products |
Navigate to the Shopping – Ordering (Catalog) dashboard in BUY.IU to locate the PunchOut links and investigate each supplier’s offerings.
Coming Soon: Checkout Validation Rules
An improved checkout experience is on the horizon! Soon, new rules will be built into BUY.IU that will replace the current return Draft Cart process. When BUY.IU flags a potential issue with a cart it will display a validation error.
Where will you find these validation errors? These will appear in the Summary section of the requisition, above the document workflow, where you’re used to seeing other warnings, such as missing account or Compliance information.
In the example below, there are two items that require review. The red circle warning is a hard stop. The order cannot be submitted until the issue is resolved. You’ll also see yellow triangle warnings. Yellow warnings prompt you to review your order for missing or conflicting information but will allow you to submit.
We hope this new functionality simplifies your BUY.IU ordering experience!
Support Form Updates
Year-End Category
Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24) ends on June 30, 2024. The Year-End topic has been re-added to the Support Form. Here you’ll find answers to common questions as well as deadlines.
PHI-related Options
Starting April 30, access to BUY.IU invoice images containing Protected Health Information (PHI) will be limited to Fiscal Officers (FOs).
In preparation for this, two new options have been added to the Support Form.
| Support Form topic | Support Form subject | Use case |
| Invoices | Report PHI on an Invoice | If you find a BUY.IU invoice image that you suspect contains PHI, use this option to notify the Accounts Payable (AP) team. The AP team will review the image and remove the image from BUY.IU if appropriate. |
| Approvers | Request Temporary PHI Invoice Access | FOs may use this option to request temporary PHI invoice access on behalf of another staff member in specific situations, stated on the Support Form.
Requests will be reviewed by AP and permission granted at the discretion of AP. |
