06/11/24 The strike has been halted and deliveries should continue as usual.

Please be advised of potential disruptions or delays in delivery services due to possible strikes or work stoppages at UC campuses. 

We will provide updates on this situation as they become available. 

Fiscal Close is almost here!  To help the campus prepare for the end of the fiscal year, Supply Chain Management has a webpage that includes Fiscal Close dates and deadlines, instructions for purchasing, accounts payable and travel transactions and other important information. 

With the launch of Aggie Enterprise, our previous catalog ordering system (AggieBuy) has been retired. However, you can still access AggieBuy order and invoice information though the Document Search feature in the Kuali Financial System (KFS). Simply search for AggieBuy Purchase Orders (POs) or Payment Requests (PREQs) to find details on payment history, related documents, and more.  Detailed instructions can be found in the Locating AggieBuy Orders and Associated Payments in KFS  Knowledge Base Article (KBA).

This month's Supply Chain Link newsletter includes info on the Free E-Waste Drop-Off Event, category names, AggieSurplus Coordinator Robert Juhler, sustainable travel, and the Alcohol Custodian Request Form.

Purchasing Services Against an Existing Agreement: 

Before Aggie Enterprise went live, suppliers were asked to select a university preferred payment method. This is part of a system-wide strategy to encourage suppliers to accept payments that are more secure and to reduce administrative costs to the University. Those suppliers that did not select an option were defaulted to NET 60 payment terms for future orders and invoices. NET 60 indicates a payment will be issued within 60 calendar days from the invoice date. This change was intended to only impact future Purchase Orders for the specific suppliers.
