In 1986, UNMC was the first campus within the University of Nebraska system to utilize Quick Check (QM) Purchase Orders. Several years later, UNMC developed a process to electronically create these QM purchase orders within the financial management system. Over the years, the electronically processed QM purchase orders have grown in utilization and today represent 75 percent to 80 percent of all QM purchase orders.
With the recent budget reductions UNMC’s Purchasing Department has examined its processes for increased efficiency. The manually produced QM purchase orders were identified as a process that could be eliminated with few consequences. Department users could still create QM purchase orders in SAP and, if access to SAP was not available, the Purchasing Card could be used and would meet most needs.
As was previously announced, the manually created QM purchase orders will be discontinued effective Jan. 1, 2004. Unused forms should be returned to the Purchasing Department, Administration Center, ZIP 5050, after that date.
Meanwhile, the department has scheduled SAP ZORDER Quick Check training sessions on Dec. 16 and Dec. 17 for individuals who have current SAP user I.D.s. Individuals can register for one of these sessions through the SLUGO homepage (slugo.nebraska.edu).
Individuals who do not have a valid SAP User I.D. can request one and register for a Navigation/Slugo class, which is a prerequisite to other SAP training (slugo.nebraska.edu). The next Navigation/Slugo class is Dec. 19; other sessions are routinely available.
More classes for SAP-ZORDER QuickCheck training will be offered after Jan. 1, 2004.
