Hello All, This is an important message to anyone who does purchasing in SRM. The go-live date for Ariba is October 14th. We all must be ready to input orders into the new system on that date. SRM will be shut off and no new ordering will be allowed after that date. Please make sure that you sign up for training. I have attached your training options below. There is a SRM Shutdown Schedule for SRM (also attached), as of October 4th we will have limited access to SRM. We will only be able to make purchases the are with preferred vendors. So please plan accordingly, if you have items that you can order ahead please do so. We will be unable to place any orders in SRM that require Purchasing Agent approval. If you have a question about what vendors you can order from during this time please send me an email with questions. I will quickly respond to you. We want to make this a smooth transition for all. Please let me know if you have any questions. COMPUTER-BASED RESOURCES A number of online resources are available for those individuals who prefer not to take the live training.
