Procurement Tuesday Tip for June

It’s time for the June Procurement tip!  On the first Tuesday of each month, our office will share a quick tip to help improve the Procurement Process and save you time.  Please reach out if you have any questions.

Today’s Tip:  When adding your vendor for a Kuali requisition be sure that you are selecting the, “Return Value” button after a vendor search so it populates the vendor record. To ensure the vendor is added correctly there should be a vendor number XXXXX-X that populates with the name and address details.

Notices

Procurement Services would like to inform campus that the University’s name is being used in a scam utilizing fraudulent CSU purchase orders. Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to us. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
