When approved, the requsition will be sourced to a PO. The PO (Purchase Order) is routed to OSU Extension Publishing. When payment is applied, a receipt is emailed to the primary contact on your store account.

*Putting the Sales Invoice number(s) SI# in the "Memo to Supplier" field aids in processing payment. Multiple publication orders can be added to the same requisition in Workday: ADD a separate line per invoice and list the Sales Invoice numbers for each order in the MEMO to Suppliers.
If funding needs split between Worktags on an Expense Line, scroll to the right on the expense line, choose the Split button to add additional Worktags for same SI#.
Be sure to put in a thorough Business Purpose, not just “ordering publications”, remember to justify the WHY.
