What are the different Shopper and Approver roles?
Marketplace Shopper and Approver roles are delegated at the department level by the Marketplace Department Administrator(s). Shoppers search, select, and add items to their cart. Following the checkout process, the order is submitted into workflow for approval. Shopper roles include: • Window Shopper (the default for all UCSD employees with Single Sign-on access) • Index-Informed Shopper • Department Buyers: • Department Buyer – $500 • Department Buyer – $2,500 • Department Buyer – $5,000 • Window Shoppers place items in a Shopping Cart, and then assign their Cart to an Index Informed Shopper or a Department Buyer for Index assignment and order submission. A Window Shopper’s cart will stop for Index assignment AND departmental approval before the order is assigned a Purchase Order number and sent to the Supplier. • Index Informed Shoppers place items in a Shopping Cart, and then assign an Index(es) to their Cart before submitting it for approval.
