All FY22 UNIV blanket purchase orders must be issued outside of the marketplace. Requestors should select the “blanket purchase order” requisition type and complete the blanket request per the Create a Requisition to Procure Goods and Services job aid .
Monthly service orders (formerly term orders) for uniform service, pest control, office coffee and water service, floor mat replacement, lawn care and snow removal should also be issued on service line blanket requisitions, outside of Buckeye Buy.
Accounts Payable advises users to include the service to be provided and frequency in the description line of the requisition. It will also be helpful to include the expected term agreement details in the memo field (example, $50.00/month for 12 months).
The steps for requesting goods and services from Ohio State Internal Suppliers are the same as those from external suppliers. First, search in Buckeye Buy to see if the internal supplier has a catalog. If there is no catalog available, change your requisition type from "Buckeye Buy" to "Non-Catalog Request" before submitting it to make sure your request is routed to the appropriate service center or buyer for review. Access the Business and Finance website to find a current list of internal suppliers with catalogs in Buckeye Buy, and instructions on how to search for these catalogs. Review the Administrative Resource Center's "Find Internal Suppliers by Catalog and Inventory Status" job aid for a list of Ohio State internal suppliers, including their supplier IDs and email addresses .
If you are part of an earnings unit with inventory tracked outside of Workday and have a need to directly post to Inventory Accounts when purchasing goods, assistance is available to help set this up for your unit.

Health System authorized requesters will be assigned a one-hour Buying Experience course in BuckeyeLearn.
