Amazon Business will soon have a punchout catalog in Marketplace for purchasing. Orders processed through the punchout catalog will be processed through our normal Accounts Payable channels, eliminating the need for reconciliations or reimbursements in Concur.
This past Spring, the PSC Travel Team announced a behind the scenes update expected to go live in the Concur Travel platform this July.

The Procurement Service Center (PSC) is excited to announce a significant redesign of CU Marketplace which is set to launch in Fall 2024. Developed in collaboration with campus partners, this redesign will enhance the user experience and streamline procurement processes.
On the last day of the fiscal year, a process will run to roll forward encumbrances that are remaining on purchase orders from FY24 to FY25. This means any POs that are not fully invoiced will be rolled forward so that the encumbrance balances accurately reflect purchase orders that are not fully used.
Effective May 1, 2024, the Source Selection & Price Reasonableness (SSPR) form is no longer required for purchases under $50,000. This also means that the sole source justification and associated price cost analysis form is also not required for purchases under $50,000. This adjustment, supported by your campus Controller and Grants & Contracts offices, aims to streamline procurement processes, increase opportunities for local and disadvantaged suppliers, and enhance efficiency.
