Step 1
Items will be requested through Workday using a Requisition. The purchaser will select “Request to procure goods and/or services.”
Step 2
Tech Hub is not listed in Buckeye Buy, and so the requisition should be submitted as a Non-Catalog Request. The purchaser will select Non-Catalog as the Requisition type, and then will select “Request Non-Catalog Items” as the Ordering Method.
Step 3
The purchaser will now enter the desired items manually. The descriptions for these items can be copied directly from the Departmental Price Guide, a list of items on Tech Hub’s website for easy access. The purchaser will then enter the cost, reason for purchase of the desired item, etc. Once finalized, add the item to the cart. Any other items can be added at this point as well.
Step 4
Once all items have been added to the cart, the purchaser will click the cart (in the top right corner) and finalize the Requisition. Be sure to include the purchaser’s contact information, including LastName.#, full OSU or Med Center email address, and a contact phone number in the “Memo to Suppliers” and “internal Memo” fields. Also include in these boxes if these items should be picked up from Tech Hub directly, or other important delivery information. Quotes and other attachments can be done at this stage, which may be required for the approval process.
Step 5
Finally, submit the Requisition for approval. Once it proceeds through the approval process, a Purchase Order will be generated and emailed directly to Tech Hub. You can track the status of a requisition using the “My Requisitions” report in Workday, and the Purchase Order number should be displayed in that report as well once the PO has been generated. If questions arise about the Purchase Order, reach out to Tech Hub at techhuborders@osu.edu. Tech Hub may also reach out if we have questions about the order.
