How to Make Repeat Purchases of Goods & Services

Summary: Learn how to quickly place orders for items you have previously requested using CruzBuy. You can either copy an existing order or choose items from your list of favorites.

Copy an Existing Order

You can copy an existing requisition to buy items you have bought in the past. All information on the original order becomes part of the new order. After you copy the order you can edit it to change the price, quantity, FOAPAL etc. to match current needs. Sometimes this copying process is referred to as copying a cart. Note that the cart must have been submitted as a requisition before it can be copied to make a new order.

Punch-out orders cannot be copied because each punch-out session is given an "order designator" by the supplier to correspond with particular line items chosen during that punch-out session. The supplier's list must match the electronically submitted PO. A copy of an order would fail because it would not be recognized by the supplier's system.

Choose Items to Purchase from your List of Favorites

Instead of copying an existing requisition, you may use My Favorites - a CruzBuy tool that allows requestors to store a list of items they purchase on a regular basis. These items are stored in Favorites folders, and can be added to a cart directly from the My Favorites screen. After selecting items, complete the order. See CruzBuy Reference - Chapter 3: Completing a Requisition, as needed.
