Question:

What is Munis?

Answer:

Munis is an electronic Purchasing system that will allow individual departments to enter their own requests electronically. During data entry, the available budget is displayed on-line, Once the requisition obtains its needed approvals, it is forwarded to purchasing and is converted to a purchase order with a single keystroke.

Question:

What is involved in converting my department over to MUNIS?

Answer:

First, we ask that you fill out a MUNIS User Application. After the application is filled out, signed by your manager, and turned into the Purchasing Department, we will invite you to a 2 hour training session to be held in the CSB Purchasing Conference Room. We will work with you to arrange a time that will accommodate your department so that your entire team can attend the training together.

Question:

What will my department need (hardware or software) in order to be ready to utilize MUNIS in our area?

Answer:

In most instances nothing will be required. But as MUNIS is a paperless purchasing system, each department will need to have a scanner in order to scan in quotes and other forms of backup and attach them electronically to requisition submittals. The full version (read and write) of Adobe Acrobat will also be needed as scanning documents create PDF files. Contact OIT for information to see if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat and how to obtain it if you do not.

Question:

How do I look up a MUNIS PO in Advantage?

Answer:

Go to OPOD type in your PO number then leaf (L) to OPOH to view the header leaf (L) again to OPOL to view the line items. OR You can use the Data Warehouse to review PO information.

Question:

Why does Advantage show I have available funds in a specific account, but Munis says I do not have enough funds for the same account ?

Answer:

Like the Data warehouse MUNIS is one day behind Advantage. So any activity that takes place today in Advantage will not show up in MUNIS until the next business day.
