CHANGE: Submitting Requisitions in BCB


Beginning January 31st, you will again use the Validate with ERP and Place Order button to submit your requisitions (instead of the Submit Requisitions button).  In December, this button was temporarily disabled in BobcatBUY due to system performance issues that caused delays for users. We have continued to work with OIT to improve this feature’s performance and are happy to announce that the issues have been resolved. This feature now provides real-time account validation within seconds and allows you to correct account issues before submitting your order instead of the req being returned for corrections. There is also a quick reference guide that discusses this button.

Should you have any questions, please contact Finance Customer Care.
