FW: IMPORTNAT - Chemical Procurement
by Turner, Jaime J 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Students/Faculty/Staff, Most, if not all, of you saw the communication that was sent out last week regarding the hard deadlines for purchases made in Ariba related to the conversion of our financial systems to S4HANA. I greatly appreciate the diligence that many of you have had to stock-up on your needed supplies to ensure that your research is not hindered by this conversion. However, I do need to clarify the policy related to the stock-piling chemicals. 1. Please ONLY order the chemicals that you have the capacity to properly store in your lab. 2. It is NOT ALLOWABLE to store liquid chemicals above eye level. 3. Flammable material MUST be stored in a solvent hood cabinet or flammable storage cabinet. If, during the transition period, you need to order chemicals, you can bring a purchase request approved by Steve to the business office and check out a credit card to make the purchase. I hope that this email clarifies this for you. If you still have questions or concerns, please feel free reach out to me or Steve Jurss. Thank you, ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.

Ongoing Recruitment - The Shake Study
by Leidy Lab 20 Mar '18

20 Mar '18

Hello, We are recruiting for our ongoing protein shake study (see below). Are there benefits to eating different types of protein? You can help answer this question by taking part in our study! You will be provided different types of breakfast shakes to consume at home. For each type of breakfast shake, you will complete a 5-h testing day that measures your feelings of appetite (hunger & fullness) and thoughts of food, and hormones that respond to eating (by taking blood samples in our lab). If you qualify, you will be paid for completing all study procedures. For more information contact: leidylab(a)purdue.edu<mailto:leidylab@purdue.edu> and mention: The Protein Source Study. IRB# 1701018659 Thank you! Sincerely, The Leidy Lab

IMPORTANT - Procurement Transition Process
by Turner, Jaime J 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Hello, We have been communicating for some time that Purdue is undergoing a campus wide transformation process related to many aspects of our daily work life. The finance module of this project is set to "go-live" on July 1st, 2018. This transformation will redesign the core financial structure to a standardized structure that allows us to truly utilize SAP. In order to prepare for this transition, there will be a period of time where we will not be allowed to place orders through Ariba. IMPORTANT DATES: * April 18th - Any orders greater than $10K have to be submitted and approved in Ariba * May 9th - Final day for ALL OTHER Ariba orders to be submitted - "requester role" will be removed from all who have access * May 10th - July 1st: o P-cards will be used for purchases that are considered low-risk/small transactions. Our credit card limits will be increased to account for the increase in transactions. o Direct Payments will be used when a vendor will not accept credit cards. However, payment will not be submitted to the vendor until AFTER July 1st. o For high risk/capital equipment a form 12 will need to be submitted to the procurement help desk so that the appropriate authorizations can be obtained via DocuSign. BEST PRACTICES FOR TRANSITION PERIOD: * If you plan on ordering a piece of capital equipment, please obtain all necessary documentation and approvals and enter the PO no later than 4/18. * If you routinely purchase certain items or have specific orders scheduled for May or June, please place those orders now. * Long-term or multi-year projects should be broken down into multiple POs with the first phase anything that would need paid out prior to the end of June. * If you have a situation that you are unsure of, please discuss with the business office. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know. Thank you all for your understanding on this matter. ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.
