Upcoming Software Form Improvements

Earlier this year, a new BearBuy Software Form was introduced for software and cloud computing purchases to identify and mitigate notable potential risks associated with these types of purchases.
 
After the launch of the Software Form, we received valuable feedback from our campus community about the Software Form guidance. We are listening, and based on this feedback, we are currently working to provide more clarity on the form usage by improving the guidance on the form and the  Software Guide.
 
Please look for more details about Software Form and guidance improvements in upcoming Supply Chain Management newsletters.

BEARBUY TIP

Q: If I am using different BearBuy forms, what forms cannot be mixed in the same shopping cart?

A:   Do not mix a Change Order Request Form, Payment Request Form, Meeting and Entertainment Payment Request Form, After the Fact Purchase Order (PO) Form, Outbound Freight Form or Standing Order Amount Form with any other items in your cart.
