Previous instructions for orders that require prepayment or payment to accompany the
order have changed. The initiator was instructed to print the APO from their Action
List and send the APO and supporting documentation to Accounts Payable.
Effective immediately, ANY order that requires prepayment or payment to accompa-
ny that order must:
1. Be marked Restricted and therefore will route to Purchasing for review.
2. Include a note in the Delivery folder in the Delivery Instructions field indicat-
ing that a check is to accompany the order. Also include whether or not it is to
be:
- “Mail to Vendor” (or direct deposit if they have an ACH set up) OR
- “Pick up check” (to be picked up by the Delivery To: ‘name’). Be certain to
include a phone number in the Phone Number field.
Note: the 5 step email previously required for Check Enclosed orders is no longer
necessary. The Note on the Requisition in addition to the Item being marked as
‘Restricted’, replaces the 5 step email.

Purchasing has once again been advised of the return of the “Toner
Phoners.” This type of scam makes the rounds at all universities.
Regardless of the tactic used, be aware that Indiana University does
not buy copier toner from cold call phone sales people. Our B2B
vendors in KFS provide University negotiated contracts which should be used for
these purchases. When in doubt, please do not hesitate to call or write Purchasing
for assistance with this issue. ([email protected])

“4-Star”…News from Procurement Services

Purchasing recently signed contracts with five security firms
(Security Firms). These are the only firms that are to be used
on campus for services. You must first contact your local
campus Police Department for authorization to use outside
security. In addition, if a Department is working on an event
with an outside organization they should suggest that the outside group research
these firms for security if the event will be held on campus.

Purchasing is still receiving several emails each day from Guy Brown/Staples
where University faculty/staff are not properly selecting the buildings. This is
holding up orders.
1. In the Requisition, select the search icon by the ‘Building’ field. Do not
click ‘building not found’ as this causes problems for the vendor.
2. Enter a portion of the ‘Building Name’ using wildcards (*). If your search
does not produce expected results, try searching using the ‘Building Long De-
scription’ field which stores longer and alternate names.
3. Select the correct address and click ‘return value’.
4. Enter the ‘Room’ number where the item is to be delivered. If this is a perma-
nent address, select ‘set as default building’. The next time you create a Requi-
sition, the address will automatically populate.
Procurement Services is pleased to announce that EMV chip cards
are coming to our P-Card program this fall. “EMV” – commonly
referred to as “chip” or “chip and PIN” – is a globally accepted
card standard that uses an embedded microchip to protect your purchases from
counterfeit fraud.
Beginning in October, Visa chip cards will be sent to U.S. Bank cardholders
who’s P-Card is new, expiring, lost or stolen. P-Cardholders receiving the Visa
chip card will experience a new level of card security. The added chip will contain
technology and coding that combat counterfeit fraud in a way that a magnetic
stripe simply can't.
Visa chip cards are easy to use. Your new card includes both the chip and a
magnetic stripe, so you’ll be able to use your card wherever Visa is accepted, in
compliance with University expenditure policies.
If a merchant hasn’t adopted EMV chip technology yet, your card will
be processed just the same as it is today. It will be swiped, and you’ll sign
the receipt.
If a merchant has adopted EMV chip technology, your card will be
inserted (“dipped”) into the terminal. You’ll sign the receipt!
We will be reaching out to P-Cardholders throughout the transition to ensure you
know what to expect and when, and how to use the new cards.

Classic Touch/Carte Blanche Airport Transportation
Service
Message for arrangers:
Explain the shared ride limousine concept with your travelers (employees and non-
employees). Travelers should be aware of the following:
It is a shared ride meaning there may or may not be other passengers in the
limousine with the traveler.
When arriving at the Indianapolis airport, check in at the Classic Touch booth
in the Ground Transportation Center.
There may be up to a 30 minute wait before the limo leaves the airport depend-
ing on the arrival of the other passengers.
The pickup time for the travelers going to the airport will be set for 3 hours
prior to the departure time. Classic Touch makes confirmation calls the prior
day of the pickup as timing can change by a few minutes when shared ride
pickup schedules are made. If Classic Touch does not have the traveler’s
phone number they will contact the person who made the reservation via
phone or email.
Get approval from the traveler to give his/her cell phone number to Classic
Touch/Carte Blanche.
Forward the Limo confirmation information to the passenger so that they have:
Phone number for Classic Touch
Confirmation number

Subscriptions should be processed on a DV (unless they require a contract
signature or are software subscriptions). The billing notice is typically generated
through a renewal reminder rather than through an invoice; therefore, a DV is the
appropriate method for payment.
Memberships should be processed on a DV if the membership does not require an
agreement or ongoing services/data sets (such as Cloud) which would require a security
review.
The $1,000 limit on Disbursement Voucher transactions applies to ‘Compensation
for Services’/‘Payments for Contractual Agreements’ and not to subscription /
membership payments.

An e-Invoice Vendor is a vendor that receives and transmits electronic
files to and from their customer. These electronic files contain the
customer’s item orders and the vendor’s billing invoices for those or-
ders.
Dell is now an e-Invoice Vendor. E-Invoicing is not new at IU. Currently, one
of every 10 PREQs processed are e-Invoiced.
As a KFS Purchasing initiator and workflow approver, you will now see a few
changes to Dell orders because of this.
1. The REQS and PO’s will now list only one Line Item per system rather
than all of the components of the system. The example below shows 3
line items rather than the 89 that would originally be listed.
2. There will now be three Email order notifications from Dell sent to the
KFS Requestor and to Purchasing. These emails will include an
Acknowledged, Confirmed and Shipped Notification. All 3 emails will
contain the complete component details (originally in the REQS and PO
Line Item detail).
If you still cannot find an address, email [email protected] or call Purchasing at 812-
856-5008. Again, please do not click ‘building not found’ without first contacting
Purchasing for assistance.
If you have any questions, please contact, [email protected].
As of September 15, 2014, Carey Limousine changed their name to Embarque. The
company is now offering IU travelers a discounted rate of $28.75 (includes gratuity)
each way for shared-ride transportation between the Indianapolis International airport
and downtown Indianapolis, including the IUPUI campus. They no longer offer a shared
-ride service between the Indianapolis International airport and the Bloomington cam-
pus. For more information regarding Embarque and other limousine services, visit the
Travel Management Services website here.

1. The full hotel address must be listed on every lodging receipt that is
submitted for Travel reimbursement and supplement documents. The lodging ad-
dress is needed to determine the appropriate per diem rate. If the lodging address is
not listed on the hotel receipt, write the hotel address on the receipt.
2. When IU Hotels.com is used to make lodging reservations, submit the Hotels.com
confirmation email along with the reimbursement documentation when per diem is
being claimed.
3. If the traveler’s trip originates from a location other than a campus location, an expla-
nation must be included in an Exception to Policy field explaining why the traveler is
not leaving from a campus location.
4. Upload the Travel@IU Trip Coversheet and supporting documentation using the
Electronic Receipt Submission process instead of mailing the documents to Travel
Management Services.
5. Scan and email supporting documentation for all prepayment requests (for registra-
tion and one-night lodging deposits) to [email protected].

Is your department naming a research initiative, marketing campaign, or
program?
If so, please contact the IU Office of Licensing & Trademarks before selecting the name.
They will run a preliminary trademark search to determine if another entity is using the
name in a similar capacity.
The search, conducted by the office, is free of charge and we try to provide search results
within a few days of receiving the request. Risks of not obtaining trademark clearance may
include having to stop using the name and rebranding all marketing, web, product, and/or
program materials associated with the program. This costly mistake can be easily avoided
by obtaining a preliminary trademark search.
