Introducing the new Vendor Registration Form Procurement Services, in collaboration with the Business Diversity Program and campus customers, have created a new Vendor Registration Form to meet various state and federal reporting requirements Note from Jeff: Whoever speaks to the vendor registration form maybe should specifically point out the fact that we’re collecting data on credit card acceptance and ebilling, as it ties back to the other improvements we’re working on for campus Procurement Services, in collaboration with the Business Diversity Program and campus customers, have created a new Vendor Registration Form to meet various state and federal reporting requirements. This form was introduced to pilot testing group on August 1st and we now would like to expand this out to campus. The Vendor Registration form must be completed by new vendors not currently in the PAS vendor file and returned to Procurement Services by email, fax or U.S. mail. More information including the form instructions, exceptions, and a vendor search tutorial can be found online at www.washington.edu/admin/finserv/payables/Registration/index.html .
$3300 Phase I Results Phase I small dollar transition implemented July 1, 2009 resulted in more than a 50% reduction in PAS Transactions
$3300 Phase II Roll Out More manageable data allows focused analysis Phase II recommendation: tighter controls and targeted “opportunities” Internal training Supplier involvement Campus department outreach Notes from Jeff: When we say “internal training”, does that mean Procurement Services? In general, I really want the “phase II” message to be that we have worked hard over the course of the last 6 months to continue to improve the eCommerce products and that in the next couple of months, our staff will be more focused on the best purchase path. In other words, ePro suppliers with e-invoicing implemented will be the route to take, so look for continued guidance as we move forward…. More manageable data allows focused analysis
