General BuyWays Purchases - Summit Report Updated: Wednesday, November 21, 2018 - 10:46

BuyWays Alert – Summit Report

BuyWays Catalog/Punchout purchases less than $2,500 can be made without a secondary approval of a departmental manager due to the fact that such purchases are low dollar and limited to certain items.  To assist the departmental manager with a review to ensure these purchases relate and support the department’s mission, an alert report was created listing those catalog/punchout purchases for a selected month.  The report can be accessed in the Summit Reporting tool through the Academic Admin or Department Admin dashboards.  The Alert Report is found on the left side of the page when accessing the Summary tab.  Clicking on the “BuyWays  - Catalog/Punchout Requisitions less than $2,500”  link will produce a report of purchases made on chart fields within the report user’s authority.

Desktop ALERT: How to report fraud emails Updated: Thursday, March 9, 2017 - 10:36

Please be cautious of scams and possible phishing attempts. If you are unsure about an email, it's best not to click any links or open any attachments. Feel free to call or email us with questions. We will be able to help determine if it's a threat or not. If you are going to send an email to us about a specific email in question, please "Forward as an Attachment" (done by going using the "More" button next to the normal reply/forward section of outlook). This allows us to trace where the email came from and determine what systems are compromised.
