The New SpearMart is Now Here….

The new SpearMart is now LIVE. All requisition and purchase order related activities (excluding receiving, invoicing/payments, and internal purchase orders) are no longer available in OMNI. SpearMart is now your one-stop shop for all procurement activity. SpearMart enhancements include:

Requester access in OMNI Financials system will be temporarily suspended beginning March 13, 2017 at 6:00 PM EST.  Requisition approvers will have until 12:00 noon EST on March 14, 2017 to complete approvals in the OMNI Financials system for external purchase orders. Requester access will be restored in OMNI and SpearMart on March 20, 2017.

March 20th, we will be going-LIVE with the New and Improved SpearMart, FSU’s electronic procurement system. All procurement requisition and purchase order related activities (excluding receiving, invoicing/payments, and internal purchase orders) will be moving out of OMNI and into SpearMart. The focus of the SpearMart Enhancement Project is to create a “One Stop Shopping” experience which includes shopping, requisition creation, workflow approvals, purchase order creation/distribution, as well as all procurement related paper forms.
