Supplier Data Management (SDM), Purchasing, and Accounts Payable (AP) are the three main groups involved with BUY.IU processes. The table below breaks down the topics each group is responsible for:
| Department | Topics |
| Supplier Data Management (SDM) | Supplier invitations, registration status, banking information |
| Purchasing | Requisitions, purchase orders, change requests |
| Accounts Payable | Invoices, payments |
The SDM team has two contact methods: BUY.IU supplier request forms and the Support Form. If you need to invite a new supplier or request updates to an existing supplier profile, submit a supplier form in BUY.IU. General questions should be submitted via the Support Form.
There are also two ways to contact Purchasing and Accounts Payable: via the Support Form or by logging a BUY.IU comment.
If you have a question about an existing BUY.IU document, like a requisition, purchase order (PO), or invoice, log a comment on the document in BUY.IU and add the appropriate team as an email recipient. Visit the Logging Comments page to learn how.
General questions about Purchasing or AP processes should be submitted via the Support Form.
