BEN Buys "Change Buyer" Request Form

Tuesday, June 2, 2009

Effective June 1, 2009, a request to change a Buyer on a "Service Type" purchase order can be made if the original Buyer on the Service PO moves to a different department and retains PO Manager responsibility in their new position.

The Change Buyer Request Form can be found in the BEN Forms section of the Comptroller's website. This form will require sign-off by the School/Center Access Administrator. It is the responsibility of the department from which the individual is leaving to request the Buyer name change. Please complete the form as indicated and fax to Purchasing Services at 215-898-9396.

Please note that the Buyer name change does not replace the existing Alternate Assignment functionality. If a Buyer leaves the University or no longer requires PO Manager access, you can continue to use an Alternate Assignment.

Purchasing Services will process the request upon receipt from a University department and complete it within 5 business days.

Please direct all questions to Purchasing Services.
