16. Multiplier Effect • Estimates the ripple effect in the state economy where spending occurs • UW Spending with local suppliers provides these suppliers with addt’l dollars that they re-spend in the local economy  “multiplier effect.” • For every $1 of direct UW spending, $1.275 of indirect spending is generated for the state economy via employment, tax revenue, and business spending MULTIPLIER EFFECT (1.275) Source: The Economic and Societal Impact of the University of Washington

18. Non PO Invoice Payments In January, Procurement Services developed a lean team to streamline Purchases. The team learned that there are times when a PO is created in PAS simply to make a payment to a supplier when a physical PO copy is not required. We set out to provide a flexible, less expensive alternative to meet campus’s payment needs. What resulted is the Non-PO Invoice module in Ariba.

19. Non PO Invoice Payments What is a Non-PO Invoice? ANSWER: An online tool used to make a payment to a supplier when a PO is not required. Ex: Items purchased under the UW’S Direct Buy limit (currently $3500) when the supplier is not in eProcurement, registrations, memberships, etc.

20. Non PO Invoice Payments How will this help departments? Cuts down the groups involved in making a payment (less touches to the process) Invoices are retained in the department which reduces the amount “lost” Greater flexibility with budgets, account codes and PCA codes on a line item basis (previously unavailable in PAS) Complete transparency of the invoice process from beginning to end Links between MyFD andinvoices in Ariba

21. Non PO Invoice Payments When will Non-PO Invoice be available? Soon! The project is projected to go live in November 2011 Beta testing was done on September 28th. We would like to thank Joe Sabo for his participation and feedback! Look for upcoming training dates as we get close to project completion!!
