Whether looking for Staples, Lowes or other contracted suppliers -including internal such as UniPrint or ComDoc- follow these steps:

  • At HOME screen click on "Request Travel or Purchase" - (OR- in Search field type "Create Requisition" -takes directly to Requisition Type screen)
  • Click "Request to procure goods and/or services"
  • For "Requisition Type" choose "Buckeye Buy Request"
  • Double-check Deliver To address includes Room and Floor info and put in FDM information of Fund/Program/etc... hit OK
  • Click "Connect to Supplier Website" - Connect again on right side of screen
  • Two choices in next screen:
    • Click "Round Trip" in upper left corner- creates a pop-up window of Suppliers in the System - IF not found here.. then do this next step:
    • Under "Supplier" in left column- 'Filter' for ComDoc, UniPrint, etc. for companies not listed in the above mentioned pop-up window
  • If company is not listed under either, you'll likely need to not use "Buckeye Buy" requistion type, but use Non-Catalog requisition type, check ahead of time if they are in the system, if not will need to add contact information for vendor- email address, name and phone number of contact at company. Service Center will contact to set up profile for vendor in Workday system. Email will be from Workday not an OSU address.
  • Follow-through with your order, add to cart, checkout to return to complete the requisition
