REMINDERS TO APPROVE BEARBUY VOUCHERS
During the 2018-2019 fiscal year end, Supply Chain Management (SCM) sent email reminde
rs to BearBuy Match Exception Handlers and Voucher Approvers to alert them of outstanding vouchers that were pending review before they could be paid.
SCM received positive feedback from the campus that the reminders were a useful tool that helped provide additional visibility for vouchers in further need of review and action.
In response to that feedback, SCM will begin sending monthly emails to BearBuy Match Exception Handlers and Voucher Approvers to remind them of any vouchers that are pending approval. The reminders will be sent during the first week of each month, and the first email will be sent the week of
October 1, 2019. The emails will contain details about vouchers that are pending approval as of the end of the previous month.
As a best practice, pending vouchers should be reviewed and any necessary actions should be taken in a timely manner. If you do not have any pending vouchers, you will not receive the email reminder for that month.
We appreciate your efforts and attention on pending voucher approvals.

BEARBUY TIP
Q: I submitted an order in BearBuy but the system returned it to me. Why was my cart returned?
A: BearBuy may return your cart for various reason, such as expired accounting codes, invalid ship-to address on an order containing radioactive items, or the supplier is not open for ordering.
The email you received from BearBuy contains the reason that the cart was returned. For invalid accounting codes, the email may include, "The following note was attached to this requisition during the return: Line 1 Split#1 SFCMP-55102 Combo error for fields Acct/Fund/Project/Dept ID/Func."
To resolve the issue, review the Accounting Codes, replace it with the valid combination, if necessary, and then resubmit the order. You can use the SpeedType Search and Chartfield Validator application that can be found through MyAccess to verify the accounting codes are valid.
For additional scenarios on how to fix a returned cart, review the
Cart or Requisition Returned - Quick Reference Guide.
For additional help, contact the BearBuy specialists at the IT Service Desk at
appsupport@ucsf.edu or (415) 514-4100 option 2.
