Procurement (iBuy)
Process Description / Outline
NYU requires iBuy for all purchases, wherever feasible
If iBuy is not feasible, documentation should be available to justify the non-iBuy purchase
iBuy contains all NYU approved vendors
iBuy generates a Purchase Order, which is the most structured form for ordering goods and services. It is also the form that comes under the greatest University scrutiny since it is a contract between the University and a vendor. Please provide sufficient lead-time for processing of Purchase Orders. Please check with NYU Purchasing on the necessary lead-time, which will depend on the cost of the item or service purchased.
Access and Exception Requests
All NYU employees are assigned a role of “shopper” in iBuy
“Shoppers” may create shopping carts of proposed purchases to be assigned to a “Requestor” for next steps
Department Directors and Administrators have an “Advanced Requestor” role to manage the department’s purchasing needs
Please contact your Departmental Fiscal Analyst for access
