[All_staff] Check/Use New JLab E-Commerce System

[deborah magaldi]

With the launch of Jefferson Lab's new E-Commerce system on Jan. 10, 
JLab staff members are asked to first check the E-Commerce system for 
their desired product before writing a purchase requisition.

Procurement will return to the originator all requisitions for products 
which are available via E-Commerce.

If you aren't familiar with the new E-Commerce system, please refer to 
this link:

- Sign in using your JLab username and password.
- Select "Help" from the Menu on the left for Instructions and other 
information.
- Select "Shop" from the Menu list when you are ready to begin shopping.

- While shopping, if you encounter a problem or need assistance finding 
an item, click on the "Contact" tab and contact the Government 
Scientific Source (GSS) representative using the phone number/email 
provided on the page.

- The E-Commerce link is also available from the INSIGHT page. Click on 
the E-Commerce + Stockroom link in the Popular Applications portal.

Important Note: A popular vendor, McMaster-Carr, isn't participating in 
the E-Commerce system. Purchases from McMaster-Carr of less than $1,000 
should be placed using a JLab P-Card. If no one in your work group has a 
P-Card, please speak with your supervisor about obtaining one.

Since the launch of the E-Commerce system we have received positive 
feedback from many who attended the training. With your support, we are 
confident of the continued success of this system.

Thank you,
