How should I be doing purchase requisitions and POs now?
Purchase requisitions and orders, including Requisition Creation, Access, Purchase Orders, Change Orders, and Receipt Creation, are now done in Workday. There is no need to use Marketplace any longer for this process. View the Purchase Requisitions and Orders job aid for step-by-step instructions. This demo video is also very helpful. When in Workday you must Request a Requisition and this process than creates a PO.

Do NOT use the Punch Out Requisition in Workday.
MSU has determined that users should continue to use their p-card for these types of purchases instead of utilizing the Punch Out Requisition option. Using the p-card offers several advantages, including a rebate to the university.

We are currently working on the transition of interdepartmental purchasing to Workday. Please continue to use the CA-037 form (this form is a new version of the form, current as of August 2024).
