Previous instructions for orders that require prepayment or payment to accompany the order have changed. The initiator was instructed to print the APO from their Action List and send the APO and supporting documentation to Accounts Payable. Effective immediately, ANY order that requires prepayment or payment to accompa- ny that order must: 1. Be marked Restricted and therefore will route to Purchasing for review. 2. Include a note in the Delivery folder in the Delivery Instructions field indicat- ing that a check is to accompany the order. Also include whether or not it is to be: - “Mail to Vendor” (or direct deposit if they have an ACH set up) OR - “Pick up check” (to be picked up by the Delivery To: ‘name’). Be certain to include a phone number in the Phone Number field. Note: the 5 step email previously required for Check Enclosed orders is no longer necessary. The Note on the Requisition in addition to the Item being marked as ‘Restricted’, replaces the 5 step email.

This is holding up orders. 1. In the Requisition, select the search icon by the ‘Building’ field. Do not click ‘building not found’ as this causes problems for the vendor. 2. Enter a portion of the ‘Building Name’ using wildcards (*). If your search does not produce expected results, try searching using the ‘Building Long De- scription’ field which stores longer and alternate names. 3. Select the correct address and click ‘return value’. 4. Enter the ‘Room’ number where the item is to be delivered. If this is a perma- nent address, select ‘set as default building’. The next time you create a Requi- sition, the address will automatically populate. Procurement Services is pleased to announce that EMV chip cards are coming to our P-Card program this fall. “EMV” – commonly referred to as “chip” or “chip and PIN” – is a globally accepted card standard that uses an embedded microchip to protect your purchases from counterfeit fraud. Beginning in October, Visa chip cards will be sent to U.S. Bank cardholders who’s P-Card is new, expiring, lost or stolen. P-Cardholders receiving the Visa chip card will experience a new level of card security. The added chip will contain technology and coding that combat counterfeit fraud in a way that a magnetic stripe simply can't. Visa chip cards are easy to use. Your new card includes both the chip and a magnetic stripe, so you’ll be able to use your card wherever Visa is accepted, in compliance with University expenditure policies. If a merchant hasn’t adopted EMV chip technology yet, your card will be processed just the same as it is today. It will be swiped, and you’ll sign the receipt. If a merchant has adopted EMV chip technology, your card will be inserted (“dipped”) into the terminal. You’ll sign the receipt! We will be reaching out to P-Cardholders throughout the transition to ensure you know what to expect and when, and how to use the new cards. VISA CHIP P-CARD COMING OCTOBER 20141 NEW SECURITY FIRMS Classic Touch/Carte Blanche Airport Transportation Service Message for arrangers: Explain the shared ride limousine concept with your travelers (employees and non- employees). Travelers should be aware of the following: It is a shared ride meaning there may or may not be other passengers in the limousine with the traveler. When arriving at the Indianapolis airport, check in at the Classic Touch booth in the Ground Transportation Center. There may be up to a 30 minute wait before the limo leaves the airport depend- ing on the arrival of the other passengers. The pickup time for the travelers going to the airport will be set for 3 hours prior to the departure time. Classic Touch makes confirmation calls the prior day of the pickup as timing can change by a few minutes when shared ride pickup schedules are made. If Classic Touch does not have the traveler’s phone number they will contact the person who made the reservation via phone or email. Get approval from the traveler to give his/her cell phone number to Classic Touch/Carte Blanche.

EMBARQUE (FORMERLY CAREY LIMOUSINE ) 5 TIPS FOR REDUCING PROCESS TIME FOR TRAVEL DOCUMENTS 1. The full hotel address must be listed on every lodging receipt that is submitted for Travel reimbursement and supplement documents. The lodging ad- dress is needed to determine the appropriate per diem rate. If the lodging address is not listed on the hotel receipt, write the hotel address on the receipt. 2. When IU Hotels.com is used to make lodging reservations, submit the Hotels.com confirmation email along with the reimbursement documentation when per diem is being claimed. 3. If the traveler’s trip originates from a location other than a campus location, an expla- nation must be included in an Exception to Policy field explaining why the traveler is not leaving from a campus location. 4. Upload the Travel@IU Trip Coversheet and supporting documentation using the Electronic Receipt Submission process instead of mailing the documents to Travel Management Services. 5. Scan and email supporting documentation for all prepayment requests (for registra- tion and one-night lodging deposits) to [email protected].

LICENSING & TRADEMARKS Is your department naming a research initiative, marketing campaign, or program? If so, please contact the IU Office of Licensing & Trademarks before selecting the name. They will run a preliminary trademark search to determine if another entity is using the name in a similar capacity. The search, conducted by the office, is free of charge and we try to provide search results within a few days of receiving the request. Risks of not obtaining trademark clearance may include having to stop using the name and rebranding all marketing, web, product, and/or program materials associated with the program. This costly mistake can be easily avoided by obtaining a preliminary trademark search.
