Purchasing Services has been working with Sales Dynamics and Staples Promotional Products (formally known as Accolade Promotion Group) to support Humber’s Sustainability initiatives by reducing the amount of paper being processed in Financial Services. In order to achieve this, we have moved to a monthly payment process.

How it works: when you contact Sales Dynamics or Staples Promotional Products to order products they will request a FOAP for the order to be charged to. Payments to the vendors and charges to the FOAPs you supplied to the vendors will be processed on a monthly basis. This process is similar to that of the Culligan for water coolers, Staples Advantage for office supplies, Grenville for printing, and Chartwells for catering.

Benefits of the new Process:

  • Reduce the amount of paper invoices being issued – Supports our Sustainability initiatives
  • End users will no longer need to process requisitions or LVPO for each order
  • Reduces AP workload and time of payment process

Items to remember:

  • We have four Vendors of Record for Promotional Items
    • Akran Marketing
    • Sales Dynamics
    • Staples Promotional Products
    • The Branding Company
  • At this time, only Sales Dynamics and Staples Promotional Products are using this new process
  • You can still place orders using your MasterCard with all four vendors
  • You can find a complete list of all Purchasing’s vendors of records with their contact information on the resources tab on the Finance Website humber.ca/finance/resources

Please contact Jessica Powell if you have any additional questions at jessica.powell@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 x5172.

Note for all Banner Users – Shipping Information

This is a friendly reminder for all Banner users who create requisitions and LVPOs in Banner to please make sure that when you are creating requisitions and/or LVPOs to make sure you correct the shipping information. Receiving has been experiencing many issues due to the wrong delivery information being provided on shipments. Please make sure that you identify the correct campus (North Campus, Lakeshore Campus, or Carrier Drive) that orders are to go to, and the correct contact information.

Did you know that you can add additional information to all requisitions and LVPOs?
If you need to provide more detail for your orders whether it be delivery instructions or item descriptions, there is an option for you to add “Document Text” to your orders.

How do you add document text? 
When you are entering your information in Banner and you have finished entering your information for the item(s) being ordered on the “Commodity/Account” tab, you click on “Options” at the top of the screen, and then click on “Document Text”. This will bring you to another page that will have your document number and the vendor name on it. You will then need to click next block and it will bring you to the first text line which you can then start adding your additional information. Once you have finished adding all the information, click the save button, and then you can exit out of this page. When you click on the black X to exit, it will bring you back to the “Commodity/Accounting” tab of your document and you can continue to complete your requisition or LVPO. Please see below the screen shots of the process for a requisition, which is the same for the LVPO.
