Year-End Guidance

Year-end guidanceAs fiscal year-end approaches, we’d like to provide you with guidance on placing your orders. Please know that we, in Procurement, will do all that we can to process your orders as quickly as possible. To assist us in issuing year-end orders, we ask that you submit your year-end orders per the following guidance:

eBuy orders must be placed and approved by Tuesday, September 15th at 5:00 p.m in order to be recorded in FY15.

  • eBuy has a $500 self-approval limit
  • You can view the approval status of your orders placed through eBuy by accessing Manage Requisitions in the Laboratory’s Financial Management System. View our useful instructions on how to view your order status.

ePro requisitions must be approved in FMS by:

  • Friday, September 4th  for requisitions >$25K to <$150K
  • Friday, September 11th  for requisitions  <$25K
  • Please note that requisitions >$150K can take up 2 to 4 months or more, depending on the complexity
  • All requisitions received will be processed in a first-in, first-served basis

Approved requisitions received by Procurement after the above dates will be processed only if  all other requisitions submitted prior to the cutoff dates have been completed.

If you need to escalate a critical need or an emergency situation after the cut-off dates, please contact the appropriate Procurement Manager:
