Automating E-Procurement and Payment
to Maximize Savings
…and Increase Productivity
What is E-Procurement?
Electronic procurement is the purchase of
supplies and services via the internet.
Transactions are completed electronically
to maximize savings and increase
productivity.
Partnership With IUC
Former Chancellor, Eric Fingerhut
Challenged us to collaborate with state-
wide colleagues
To partner on initiatives such as
procurement
To drive down costs associated with
providing a quality higher education
Institutions partnering with SciQuest:
Ohio University, Bowling Green State University
Miami University, Shawnee State University, Wright State University,
Kent State University, Youngstown State University
Why BobcatBUY?
Overall GOALS FOR Ohio University

Channel more spend to contracted suppliers to
allow better leverage on price and terms
Institutional and State-Wide savings with better
direct spending
Reduce PCard Usage
Shift from PCard and Direct Payment to Purchase
Order
Reduce Risk
BobcatBUY Focus Groups
The Project Team requested input from University
departments by including them in Focus Groups.
Focus Groups met three times with Sciquest consultants
and Project Team to review the system.
Focus Groups suggested enhancements that were
configured and implemented in BobcatBUY.
WHAT YOU SEE TODAY IS A RESULT OF THOUGHTFUL
INPUT FROM YOUR PEERS.
Preferred Suppliers
Includes links to OHIO service web sites
Catalogs - Hosted and Punchout
Hosted Catalog Is an online
version of the supplier's
items included in OHIO’s
contract.
A Punchout Catalog Is an
external link from within
BobcatBUY to the supplier's
web page created
specifically for OHIO.
I can find items
easily in the new
BobcatBUY system.
I love shopping for
my department
now!!
Forms -Non-Catalog and Related
A Non-Catalog Form or other form should be
entered when a shopper cannot find the item
from a hosted or punch-out catalog or the
purchase is something that cannot be
procured through an existing catalog.
Embrace the Form
Add only one type of form to a shopping cart . You may add multiple forms to the
same supplier in one shopping cart to represent different line items .
Request To Add New Supplier
Purchase Order Revision Form
Direct Payment
IMPORTANT: Only one Invoice may be attached to
each Direct Payment Form at this time.
Blanket Order
Service Agreement Purchase Order
Sub-Contract Agreement Purchase Order
BobcatBUY Features
Three end-user roles:
Shopper
Requester
Approver
Approver Workflow:
Once the shopping cart is complete, the shopper will assign
the shopping cart to the requester for review.
The requester submits the cart to the departmental account
approver.
The approver reviews the order and submits it electronically.
Additional Workflow may apply for invoicing
Workflow now BEFORE THE PURCHASE. Plan ahead.
Supplier Maintenance
IRS requires current W9 or Substitute W9 (Our Payment
Compliance Form – PCF) on file.
Oracle contains nearly 90,000 suppliers currently, many
with outdated PCFs. We are taking this opportunity to
bring Supplier Database into compliance.
OHIO is also reducing suppliers overall for better
supplier management and negotiation ability.
Please allow time for your PCF to be processed through
your department and Finance. Plan ahead. The
approvals now come before the purchase, not after.
The Entire Workflow Process
A shopping cart is submitted and approved
A purchase order is created and sent to the supplier
The purchase order information is sent to Oracle
The item/service is received and may require the end
user to verify they received the goods/services
The invoice is entered by Finance staff
Notification is sent to Oracle to verify it is okay to pay
the supplier
What is different about this?
We have historically bought first and asked questions
later and many policies, ORC and related codes, and Risk
Management considerations have not been addressed.
You may be asked to attach information such as supplier
insurance, Bureau of Worker's Comp (in limited
situations), or perhaps the existing contract to your
requisition.
Reducing risk and remaining in compliance is critical.
Please plan ahead.
Ohio University Payment Terms are net 30 days from the
date of invoice. Not new- being enforced.
