Step 1: Log in to Bronco Hub and Access Purchase Requisitions

  1. Begin by signing in to Bronco Hub from my.boisestate.edu.

  2. Select the My Organization tab from the top navigation section of Bronco Hub.

  3. Select the Purchase Requisitions icon.

Step 2: Access the PunchOut Catalog

Select a PunchOut Catalog from the Top Categories section of the Requisition homepage.

Step 3: Shop for Items

The catalog will open to the vendor’s catalog website.
Search the Catalog for items, enter the quantity for each of the items, and add items to the cart.

Step 4: View Cart and Return to Bronco Hub

  1. Once all items have been added to the cart, select the Cart icon (often located in the upper right hand corner) to view the order.

  2. After confirming accuracy of items in the shopping cart, select Return Cart to Purchasing Application.

Step 5: Add Requisition Justification

Justification is a required field and must include a valid business purpose for the purchase.

Step 6: Update Requisition Requester if applicable

The supervisor of the person listed as the Requester will be added to the requisition approval workflow.

The Requester will default to the end-user currently logged into Bronco Hub OR the individual setup in Requisitions Preferences.

  • Modify the requester by searching for the last name first. The supervisor of the Requester will be added to the Approval Workflow.

If the Purchase Requisition request is urgent, update the Urgent field to Yes.

Update the Requested Delivery Date as needed.

Step 7: Select Deliver-to Location

Update the Deliver to Information as needed

  1. Select Internal from the Deliver-to Location Type dropdown menu.

  2. Select the magnifying glass in the Deliver-to Location field and search for “CENTREC” to locate Central Receiving. Note: it is important that CENTREC is selected as the delivery location for punchout catalog orders to ensure proper routing and timely delivery.

  3. Select Ok.

Always select a standard Boise State delivery location to ensure that the order is routed appropriately.

Step 8: Select Edit Multiple Lines if applicable

PunchOut Catalog orders consisting of more than one product will have multiple requisition lines. Use the Edit Multiple Lines feature to enter the funding string for multiple lines at once.

  1. Select the first requisition line and hold down shift or Ctrl to select additional lines.

  2. Select Edit Multiple Lines.

Step 9: Add Project Funding Information (skip this step if project funds will not be used for the purchase)

If the Requisition lines will be charged to a Project funding source, follow the instructions below to apply project details (POET) to the transaction.

  • Project Number: Enter the 10 digit Project segment.

  • Task Number:

    • Enter 100001 for all services and non-asset goods

    • Enter 100002 for taggable asset goods.

  • Expenditure Type: Enter the 6 digit account segment.
    Expenditure Organization: Enter the 5 digit department segment.

Step 10: Add Charge Account(s)

Enter the funding segment string in the Charge Account field.
The Charge Account can be added to the transaction one of three ways:

1) Manual entry
2) Selecting from Favorite Funding Sources previously set up
3) Using search functionality in Bronco Hub

Refer to the Adding Funding Segment String to Requisitions job aid for detailed instructions.

If the payment is being split between different Funding Segment Strings, select the Split icon and update either the Amount or the Percentage due for each Funding Segment String.

Budget Date: Defaults to the date of Requisition creation. If using Project funding, update the Budget date to match the Expenditure Item Date.

Step 11: Submit Requisition

  • To submit the requisition, select the Save drop-down, located in the upper right-hand corner, then select Submit.

  • To submit at a later time, select Save and Close.

What’s next:

Submitted Catalog Requisitions route through the Standard Approval Workflow in Bronco Hub. To follow-up on approvals, follow the instructions in the Transaction Approval Dashboard job aid.

After approvals are complete, the order will be submitted to the PunchOut Catalog vendor.
