The Division of Business Affairs is pleased to announce a new streamlined process for all official Amazon purchases at Ball State University. This change is designed to simplify ordering, eliminate inefficiencies, and ensure stronger accountability in purchasing activities. Our goal is to improve convenience while safeguarding the responsible stewardship of university resources.
How the New Process Benefits You:
- Centralized Purchasing: All Amazon orders are now routed through the single Ball State Amazon Business account, providing a unified and consistent shopping experience.
- Integrated Access: Amazon is now a JAGGAER showcase supplier. Simply use the punchout feature in the JAGGAER module to access the Amazon catalog directly.
- Reduced Restrictions: With all purchases managed in one system, departments gain faster approvals and better tracking, reducing paperwork and delays.
- Enhanced Accountability: P-Cards and employee reimbursements are no longer permitted for Amazon purchases, reinforcing compliance and transparency.
Quick Guide and Resources:
A step-by-step guide for using the new Amazon Business punchout is available on the Purchasing Services website.
Together, this new process reflects our ongoing commitment to service, operational excellence, and fiscal responsibility. Thank you for your partnership in ensuring efficient and transparent purchasing practices across the university.
