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

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.
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.
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
Non PO Invoice Payments When will Non-PO Invoice be available? Soon! The project is projected to go live in November 2011 Beta testing is September 28th from 9 am to noon. Look for upcoming training dates as we get close to project completion!!
Procard – What’s ahead? $75 Waiver UW received permission from the State to waive receipt requirements for purchases up to $75.This applies to all transactions: - Travel - Procard - PO’s - Ariba Guidelines and exemptions: Some type of transaction will still require documentation regardless of cost. More details and guidance will come soon ProCard online application • Using Ariba eForm • Astra approval process • Departments can track card applications and approvers online
