School Specialty
Using School Specialty's "Requisition Lite"
In an ongoing effort to simplify the ordering of classroom supplies, the Strategic Sourcing and Contracts Department announces a new method of ordering classroom supplies from School Specialty. The process involves the classroom teacher as the originator of the order while still utilizing the PeopleSoft ePro Requisition system for creating, budget coding and approving the Requisition. Since the teacher will be using the same online catalog that a Requester uses when creating a School Specialty Direct Connect ePro Requisition, then the item information and pricing will be identical. Implementation details are as follows:
- A school requests a User Name and Password for each teacher who will initiate order requests for classroom supplies from School Specialty by submitting the following information to [email protected]:
- Name of School
- School's Department/Location Number
- Each teacher's name and email address
- School Specialty provides each teacher with a User Name and Password along with an instruction sheet on how to log in and create shopping carts at www.schoolspecialtyonline.com.
- Teachers then create a shopping cart for their desired order, based upon this district's discounted prices. The shopping cart will also include sales tax to indicate the entire cost of the final order.
- The school then logs into the People Soft ePro Direct Connect system, selects the School Specialty website, and selects "Retrieve Carts" from the pop-up menu.
- The teacher's cart number is selected, using the website's built-in search engine, and a new Requisition is automatically created and fully populated with all the items in the shopping cart.
- The Requisition is then completed with account coding, budget checked, and submitted to the school Principal for approval.
