Important Changes to iBuy - Copy to New Care and On Behalf of functionality

Effective April 2019, the iBuy Copy to New Cart and On Behalf of functions have been updated to avoid various issues that were being caused by the old functionality.

Copy to New Cart
When using the Copy to New Cart functionality, the C-FOAPAL information will no longer copy over to the new requisition; only the vendor, line item details and shipping address will copy over. To expedite entering the C-FOAPAL on the new requisition, the Requestor or Department Account Coder can set up Code Favorites and save a Code Favorite as a Default, which will auto-populate into the requisition. Otherwise, a Requestor or Department Account Coder must enter the appropriate C-FOAPAL on the new requisition.

Creating an order for Another Person
When creating an order for Another Person, the “On Behalf Of” function is no longer active. Instead, please add that detail as an Internal Note (e.g. “Ordering on behalf of John Smith”), as well as include that person’s name in the Attn: field of the Shipping Address.

For more assistance on the above, the following job aids have been posted at iBuy Training Materials.

  • Using Copy to New Cart
  • Placing an Order for Another Person
  • Creating and Using C-FOAPAL Code Favorites
  • Setting up and Using Ship to Addresses

iBuy 17.2 Release Functionality Changes - 7/31/2017

New Shopping Cart Management Page:

  • Often, users within large organizations have multiple carts to manage. Previously, all carts in draft state were displayed in list format on the Draft Cart screen, making it necessary to scroll through a large list to locate a cart. In 17.2, we have added a new View Carts screen. This screen organizes the view of a user's draft carts. It contains separate tabs for Draft Carts (draft carts that have not been assigned to an approver), Assigned Carts (draft carts that have been assigned to an approver) and Shared Carts (draft shared carts for which the user is part of the shared cart group). You will have the ability to filter carts on each tab. An indicator displays the tab that contains the Active cart.

iBuy 16.3 Release Upgrade - 11/14/16

The iBuy e-procurement system was upgraded on Sunday, November 13, 2016 (iBuy Release 16.3). There are a few enhancements that will be visible to end users in this release.

Main Navigation Menu Item Updates

In release 16.3, updates have been made to the way the main menu items (located along the left side of the interface) are displayed. Previously, the menu options were displayed only as icons. As of the 16.3 release, the name of the menu option displays along with the icon for users with browser resolutions set to 1440 pixels or wider. The titles of several menu options have also been changed. These changes include the following.

  • The Orders & Documents menu option has been renamed to Documents.
  • The Catalogs and Contracts menu option has been renamed to Contracts.
  • The Supplier Management menu option has been renamed to Suppliers.
  • The Site Administration menu option has been renamed to Administer.
  • The Site Configuration menu option has been renamed to Setup.

There is an icon on the bottom of the menu that allows users to hide the labels.

New Advanced Search Setting for Document Search

Advanced search functionality allows you to search for items based on related users. For document search, this includes "participants" or anyone who touched a document and is in the audit trail for that document. Previously, participants had to be manually selected for the search. In 16.3, we have added a setting that will indicate that the items returned should be those for which the user searching is the participant (document search. The primary purpose of this feature update is to allow a search to be saved with this criteria. In 16.3, there are three options to choose from:

  • Any - This option returns documents for all participants.
  • Me - This option returns documents on which the current user is a participant.
  • Pick - This option allows the user to select participants for the search. When this option is selected a field displays below in which the users can be searched for or entered.

Go Buttons Display without Scrolling in Document Search

Previously, if the document search screen was longer than the available screen size, the user was required to scroll up or down to access the Go buttons. As of 16.3, the buttons display, or "stick" in the available screen space. This eliminates the need to scroll all the way down the screen to access the buttons.

  • iBuy No Longer Supported on IE Versions Lower than IE11
    • Effective January 2016 Microsoft supports only browser version IE11. In keeping with SciQuest policy to support only browsers that are supported by the vendor, SciQuest supports only browser version IE11. This does not mean that it won't work on older versions, but we won't be able to get support if something isn't working correctly.
  • IOS8 No Longer Supported by Mobile App
    • This is of note if you have been using the mobile SciQuest App.
    • As of release 16.1, SciQuest will no longer support iOS 8 for the mobile app. The updated app for 16.1 will be compatible only to iOS 9 and up. Mobile devices with iOS 8 will not be able to get the latest update.
  • Access Points for Action Items and Notifications Changed from Text to Icons
    • In iBuy, a user's action items and notifications are accessed from the top-right banner on the screen. In 16.1, the options for accessing action items and notifications have been changed from text to icons. Action Items are now denoted by a flag icon and Notifications are denoted by a bell icon.
  • Ability to Modify a Saved Search
    • In 16.1, we have added the ability to change the parameters of a saved document search. Note: The option to create a new saved search is still available.
  • Miscellaneous Updates to the iBuy User Interface

New iBuy Functionality - Approve Invoices via Email - 6/10/2015

As of 6/10/2015, Invoice Acknowledgers now have the ability to approve invoices via email.

In order to do this, two things must first be done. The Invoice Acknowledger must create an email approval code in their iBuy profile.  This code allows them to access the invoice in iBuy through their email.  The Invoice Acknowledger must also enable invoice notification via email in their profile. Unless this is done, the user will not receive emails about invoice approvals.  Please see the Invoice Acknowledgement job aid on the iBuy website.

iBuy 15.1 Release Upgrade - 3/30/15

The iBuy e-procurement system was upgraded on Sunday, March 29, 2015 (iBuy Release 15.1). There are a few changes in this release that impact end-user functionality. These are:

15.1 Release Functionality Changes

  • Shopping Favorites User Interface Updates
    • In 15.1, the current interface for Favorites management will be updated. In the current interface, most actions are accessed through a series of buttons or links. The updated interface will roll those actions in to more intuitive drop-down menus. For example, in previous versions, the Edit, Move, Copy and Delete actions are separate links. In 15.1, those actions will all be accessible from an Available Actions drop-down menu, similar to other areas in the application. The Available Actions drop-down menu will allow you to perform an action on multiple favorites. In addition, required fields will be marked with an asterisk (*) instead of simply displaying in bold, as they do currently
  • Ability to Search Shopping Favorites in Favorites Management
    • In 15.1, users will have the ability to search Favorites and Favorites folders. This is useful when there are a large amount of Favorites/folders saved. Users with permission to view and use personal favorites will be able to search personal folders.

Clicking on an item in the search results will take the user directly to the favorite or folder.

iBuy 14.3 Release Upgrade - 11/3/14

The iBuy e-procurement system was upgraded on Sunday, November 2, 2014 (iBuy Release 14.3). There are a few changes in this release that impact end-user functionality.  These are:

  • Help Screen Updates
    • The look and feel of the on-screen help has changed.Virtually every area of iBuy has help available by clicking the question mark in that particular screen section.Currently, when the help text is accessed, all of the help information for that page or section displays in a single window. Although the window is opened to the appropriate section, it is then necessary to scroll to any additional help topics within the window. In 14.3, the help text look and feel was updated, making it easier and more efficient for users to utilize the help text. In addition, the help text will be searchable.
  • Ability to Create a Custom Document Search Export in a Single File
    • In 14.2, we added the ability to create a custom document search export. Currently, when a custom export is run, the data is exported in separate files. In 14.3, we will include the option to export all data in to a single file.
  • Ability to Rename Bookmarks
    • Bookmarking pages in iBuy allows you to easily access frequently-used areas of the application. By default, the bookmark name is the same as the page name. As of 14.3, we have added the ability to rename bookmarks, allowing you to change the name to something more meaningful if you so choose.
  • Approver Visibility of POs and Invoices
    • Previously, if an approver user was restricted to seeing only their own orders, they did not have the ability to see all the documents they may have approved. For example, if a user approved a PR that they did not create, they could approve the PR but then could not access it via a requisition search. Similarly, they would not have access to a PO created from a PR they approved. With this release, approvers will have the ability to search and access all documents they approved and that were related to documents they approved. This feature is available for documents created or changed after the 14.3 release.
  • Ability to Upload Multiple Attachments to Documents, Forms and Non-Catalog Items
    • Previously, when attaching files to documents and forms, it was necessary to add them one at a time. As of 14.3, you have the ability to add multiple attachments at one time. In addition to documents and forms, you can add multiple attachments to non-catalog items, which is a new capability in 14.3.
  • Ability to Move Attachments on Forms and Purchasing Documents
    • Organizations are able to include attachments on forms and purchasing documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Attachments can be external, meaning suppliers can view, or internal, meaning only organizations users can view. Currently, in order to change the type, the attachment must be deleted and reattached as the appropriate type. In 14.3, organizations will have the ability change the attachment type, eliminating the need to perform those extra steps.
  • Inactive Users Indicated When Creating a Comment on a Purchasing Document (PO or Invoice)
    • When comments are added to a purchasing document, you have to option of notifying specific users associated with the document (prepared for user, prepared by user, etc.). A list of appropriate users displays and the user creating the comment can select one or more of them for notification. Currently, there is no indication that a displayed user has a status of Inactive. In 14.3, users who are not active will be marked as Inactive.
  • Country of Origin Added to Supplier Profile
    • In some cases, supplier organizations are headquartered in one country, but may have one or more additional locations in other countries. It may be important to a buying organization to know from where the supplier originates. As of 14.3, supplier profile information will include Country of Origin. This field allows organizations to capture information about the country from which the supplier originated.
  • New Date Option for Document Search that Allows you to Search within a Specified Range of Days
    • In 14.3, we have added a new document search date option that allows you to search for documents within a specified range of days. For example, you can search for invoices that were created within 30 - 60 days ago.
  • For further information, see the attached document which shows screenshots of the new functionality.

Detail Commodity Codes Now Available in iBUY - 05/15/2012

The complete list of detail level commodity codes is now available for use in the iBuy system. This includes the detail level codes that must be used to categorize equipment. Detail codes should be used instead of high level codes to ensure accurate financial reporting and control of fixed assets. For example, when purchasing a desktop, the detail commodity code 20453 should be used instead of the high level major category code of 20400.

Correctly coding equipment and property at the detail level is important because the codes affect many activities in the life cycle of the equipment. A commodity code assigns a useful life to an item, determining the amount of annual depreciation for capitalized assets. If the commodity code for an item does not have the appropriate detail, the item will not be classified or depreciated correctly, which may cause difficulties in processing a new acquisition in FABweb, conducting the biennial inventory, calculating Facilities and Administration (F&A) or service activities rates, or responding to auditors' questions.

More information about commodity codes is available at the links below:

New iBuy Functionality - e-Invoice - 05/17/2010

In an effort to streamline processes and improve efficiencies at the University of Illinois, the Office of Business and Financial Services (OBFS) has implemented e-Invoice, a new functionality within iBuy. e-Invoice replaces the current manual, paper-based invoice process with an electronic solution. e-Invoice will allow participating iBuy catalog vendors to submit invoice data electronically, eliminating various costs to the University. CDWg and Sigma-Aldrich are the first catalog vendors to be implemented with additional vendors added by a phased-in approach.

Click here to access the web-based training (WBT) for e-Invoice, which will provide you with important information and task simulations.  In addition to the WBT, there is a new job aid available to assist you with the task of Invoice Acknowledgement.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the AITS Service Desk at servicedeskaits@uillinois.edu.


New iBuy Roles - 05/05/2010

A new functionality within iBuy - e-Invoice - is scheduled to go-live on Monday, May 17, 2010. e-Invoice will allow participating iBuy catalog vendors to submit invoice data electronically, eliminating various costs to the University. The initial vendors will be CDW-G and Sigma- Aldrich. Communications will be sent out as additional iBuy catalog vendors begin participating in the e-Invoice program.

Two new iBuy roles will be introduced with the implementation of e-Invoicing: iBuy-Invoice Acknowledger and iBuy-Query Only. At this time, every department must have at least two individuals designated as iBuy-Invoice Acknowledgers in their department's invoice acknowledgement queue. Electronic invoices with line items ≥$5,000 will route to an Invoice Acknowledger for acknowledgement of receipt of goods and services as invoiced through iBuy. Please determine who in your unit will have the responsibility of reviewing and acknowledging invoices with line items ≥$5,000.

Individuals with no current role in iBuy whose responsibilities include the tracking and/or monitoring of invoices will need to request the iBuy-Query Only role. Current iBuy users do not need to request the iBuy-Query Only role as their roles already provide them with query functionality.

Please request these new iBuy roles from your Unit Security Contact (USC) by Monday, May 10, 2010. This will help to ensure your users' access can be granted and available on Monday, May 17, 2010. If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Susie Baker at susbaker@uillinois.edu.
