BEARBUY TIP
Q. What does the STOP sign beside the supplier name in BearBuy mean and how can it be removed?
A. The STOP sign indicates that the supplier is not set up to accept purchase orders (POs). If you are submitting a Payment Request type form in BearBuy, you may disregard the STOP sign.
If the supplier accepts POs, they must fill out and submit the
UCSF Substitute W-9 & Supplier Information Form to have the STOP sign removed. Please note, the Purchase Order details (Section 2 of page 1 of the form) must be completed. To remove the stop sign for a foreign supplier, send the request to
[email protected] and include the supplier's email address for PO delivery (no form is required).
