iBuy - Establishing and Using Favorites

The Favorites functionality allows requisitioners to store items that are ordered on a regular basis or selection of items specifically saved for their Department.

There are two types of Favorites:

  • Personal – items identified for future purchasing and managed by the individual
  • Share – frequently ordered products by a Department in a folder managed by an individual identified by the Department as the Folder Administrator 

Items from catalogs are not to be added as Personal or Shared Favorites due to catalog updates that can alter pricing and availability. Many of the Punchout catalogs offer the ability to mark favorites within the catalog.
