The BuyWays system will undergo scheduled maintenance and will be temporarily unavailable from March 15th at 9:00 PM until March 17th at 12:00 PM. We encourage you to plan your procurement activities ahead of time to ensure this maintenance has minimal impact on your work and apologize for any inconvenience this downtime may cause. 

During this time, the system will be inaccessible to all users, including suppliers as Jaggaer (host of BuyWays) implements a new system update. This update is aimed at enhancing the overall performance and functionality of BuyWays, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for all users.

Some updates include: 

Campus: 

  • Unable to submit a req with $0.00 line – Must change it to $0.01
  • External req# field required for bank card statements
  • Ability to switch to a new view when searching for a supplier (see images below)
    • New search will be the only option available after the next maintenance period on July 12th
