RU Marketplace Updates
Supplier Integration Changes
On December 16, 2019, University Procurement Services will be making changes to the supplier integration between Oracle and RU Marketplace to improve the way we manage supplier data. We are making this change to support PaymentWorks, our new supplier portal.  
 
What You Need To Know:
  • There is no action required from you, and there will be no impacts on existing or new transactions in RU Marketplace.
 
  • New supplier records in RU Marketplace will no longer have the prefix of P for the “Supplier Number”.
