Business Services is in the process of performing a long overdue necessary upgrade to the Marketplace and its connection to Banner. The upgrade will take place during the week of Thanksgiving and a few days beyond. The timeline for the shutdown is as follows:
Nov. 21 – 23 – No new orders in Marketplace – Procurement will assist in moving existing orders through the system during this time.
Nov. 28 – Marketplace connection is shutdown to perform the new upgrade. Procurement will email all users once the system is available again. The estimated timeline is 2-4 days after shutdown.
If you have an urgent purchasing need during the marketplace shutdown here are alternative options:
- Office Supplies Amazon Business Account for PCard Purchases: https://business.amazon.com/
- Non-Catalog Order Manual PO Processing: Purchasing: purchasing.department@wwu.edu
- Furniture Purchases: please contact Karen McKinnon or Andrea Rodger or the furniture inbox: furniture@wwu.edu
The Business Services staff thanks you for your patience during this time and will work with you to ensure your procurement needs are met during the Marketplace shutdown.
