Shop at U Mart, Order in PeopleSoft

During the period of June 21-30, the university Financial system will be upgraded to the new PeopleSoft system. To complete this upgrade, the financial system will not be available for any transaction during this period.

The U Mart (formerly TechMart) site will continue to be available as a portal to U Wide Contract pricing for computer-related purchases. However, beginning June 21, U Mart is used for shopping only. The site will no longer be enabled as an ordering site.

The Requestor (faculty, staff member who needs computer equipment, software, etc.) may shop UMart and identify items for order. The Preparer will prepare the PeopleSoft requisition for these identified items.

If the order will be going to a "Web" vendor (Dell, Apple), select the web tab on "Create Requisitions" in PeopleSoft and punch out to Dell or Apple. Requestors may prepare a shopping cart, then give the cart code to the requisition Preparer, who will retrieve the shopping cart during the requisition entry process and transfer it to the order.

If the order will be going to a U Mart vendor who is not yet set up in PeopleSoft under the "Web" tab (such as Lenovo, Unique, Gov Connection), Requestors may still shop U Mart, identify items, and write down the identifying information. The Requestor gives the list of items to the preparer, who will create a requisition.

If you have questions in regards to Peoplesoft, please call 612-624-1617.
