How to add shipping/freight to my purchase request in UniBuy

If you receive a quote for an item with the shipping/freight costs included, you must include the cost as a separate item when creating your purchase requisition in UniBuy. Below are three sets of instructions based on when you received the shipping costs:

  1. You received the shipping cost in the quote. You haven’t created the purchase request in UniBuy yet.
  2. The shipping cost was unknown when creating the purchase request, but now it is known. The purchase request exists but it either:
    • Hasn't been submitted for approval.
    • Has been submitted but isn't fully approved.
  3. The shipping cost was unknown when creating the purchase request, but now you have received the invoice with the shipping cost included. By now the purchase request has been approved.
