Upon typing the supplier’s name in the supplier field, your supplier does not appear in the drop down, this indicates that it is a new supplier.
Cancel the 'Write a Request Window' and download the New Supplier Request and email it to your Supplier contact for completion. NOTE THAT THIS FORM IS MANDATORY AND MUST BE COMPLETED ELECTRONICALLY BY THE SUPPLIER NOT A UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEE. HANDWRITTEN FORMS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
When the completed form is returned to you by the Supplier, initiate the requisition. Type Supplier - new (with spaces) in the supplier field and choose from the drop down. Attach the completed form received by the supplier.
Please note that we encourage using the Corporate Purchasing Card (PCard) for eligible purchases below $5,000 for new Suppliers.
Only proceed with the steps below if a SupplyNet PO is required and PCard is not an option (e.g. Supplier does not accept credit card payments, Contract for Services, restricted or controlled goods - see eligible and ineligible PCard expenses and Benefits of using PCard).

Invoices without a PO that do not meet the criteria of Direct Pay will no longer be paid and will be returned to either the responsible department or to the supplier. University purchasing options are either by Purchase Order or Corporate Purchasing Card (PCard). Departments may contact the supplier to pay the returned invoice by PCard. Or, if choosing to initiate a requisition in SupplyNet after the invoice has been received, it will be the department’s responsibility to communicate to the supplier that it is not a new order to be fulfilled (i.e. duplicate order). The department will also be responsible to advise the supplier that the existing invoice will need to be revised to include the PO number and then have the invoice re- submitted, via the invoicing methods indicated on the Purchase order.
It is not possible to have orders delivered to a home address. Vendors deliver orders to the University. Requesters can make arrangements to pick up the delivery at central shipping in the Materials Management building by contacting Dispatch
Yes, orders can be sent to an alternate delivery location on freeform orders and NOT online supplier catalog orders.
Select “Alternate Location” if the ship-to address does not appear in the list of locations.
The requisition will route to a Procurement and Contracts Management (PCM) for review prior to PO dispatch.
