Shop at UMart, Order in PeopleSoft

During the period of June 21-30 2008, the university Financial system was upgraded to the new PeopleSoft system.

The UMart (formerly TechMart) site will continue to be available as a portal to U Wide Contract pricing for computer-related purchases. However, beginning June 21 2008, UMart 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 UMart vendor who is not yet set up in PeopleSoft under the "Web" tab (such as Lenovo, Unique, Gov Connection), Requestors may still shop UMart, identify items, and write down the identifying information. The Requestor gives the list of items to the preparer, who will create a requisition.

Purchasing Card users may use their P Cards to make purchases, as long as they follow policy guidelines set up. If using a P Card, be sure to use the link specific to purchasing card purchases.
