What's new in Procurement?

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. 

VWR Lab Supply & Service Center Grand Opening is this Friday, December 2nd from 11am – 2pm. King Life Science Building Rm 1013.

We are pleased to announce that Procurement Services and Enterprise Resource Planning are currently engaged in a project to significantly expand the capabilities of SpearMart, FSU’s online electronic procurement system, hosted by Jaggaer.

REMINDER - Friday, June 24th is the last day for FY16 SpearMart orders. All SpearMart requisitions must be submitted and approved by 12-noon (ET).

We've created an electronic marketing initiative to help promote the utilization of SpearMart participating suppliers. You will find the latest products and promotions offered from each of these suppliers by visiting their webpages on our Supplier Showcase web portal. We encourage you to support these strategic business partners.

Procurement Specialist, Joyce Cordell, will retire this month after 41 years of FSU service. We are proud of her service and her contributions to campus and will miss her.

Departments have not had the ability to search open PO items (waiting to be received) by Department ID since the OMNI Financials Upgrade to 9.2. We created a query as an alternate solution to better assist departments. The name of this query is FSU_DPT_PENDING_RECEIPTS. Please click here for directions on how to use this query.
