odds & ends

It's me (Phee) again with a few random pieces of information

If a group wants to purchase from WB Mason it should be treated just like any SASP card purchase. But they should make a list of what they want to buy and go to WB's website (whobut.wbmason.com) to look up the product codes to bring to the meeting with the account specialist. The prices won't be accurate, but they will get prices (lower than the listed ones) at the meeting.

POs are taking longer than in the past because of staffing issues in procurement - sometimes as long as two weeks, depending on the type of PO it is. Increases are particularly problematic, so please warn students.

There are some changes in car rental procedures, so if a group is renting a vehicle they need to make an appointment with January (who handles all travel related expenses). But they should call the rental company for a quote first.

When checking POs please look for detail in the description part of the purchase request especially for SASP cards. "stuff for an event" is not adequate. Also make sure the group is not frozen and that the speed type and fund type match up (i.e. if they circle revenue the speed type they wrote is actually the revenue one).

Okay, enough or you won't have time to do the things I just posted about. Have a nice day.
