Frequently Asked Questions
With the implementation of Workday, all items ordered with SC163, SC172, SC460 or SC461 spending codes will be imported to the “Chemical Order Receipt” link in the Chemical Inventory. There is no opt-in or opt-out. If a lab chooses not to add these items to their active inventory from the Receipt area, the lab will need to manually enter their chemical inventory items.
Please use the person you would like to receive the email confirmations as the requester. In those cases, the line-item “Location” field will be used to track the chemicals to the correct PI. Therefore, it is important to select the accurate location (building and room number) where the chemical will ultimately be stored. If the “Location” field has been prepopulated from a previous entry, please verify and edit each item as necessary to ensure that the storage location (building and room number) are listed correctly for each of the chemicals.
Please add the PI’s last name at the end of the quantity portion of the line-item memo field (e.g. 500|ML|2|Grant)
You do not yet have permission to view the chemical inventory for your lab. Please ask your PI or Lab Contact to grant you access. Alternatively, you can email EH&S asking for access.
Ensure that the beginning of line-item Memo Field for each of the goods during requisitioning is filled in using the continuous format “Container Size or Quantity|Unit of Measure|Total Containers” (e.g. 500|ML|2). Place this string at the beginning of the each line-item memo field in your list of goods.
The preferred way to edit an item prior to adding it to your inventory is at the line item level. “# of Containers”, “Split”, “Quantity per Unit”, “Volume/Size” and “Location” can be edited at the line item level. To make these edits, click inside the cells that need edits.
We do ask that you keep “Chemical Order Receipt” as clean as possible by either receiving these items to your inventory or removing them from the “Chemical Order Receipt” area.
If you only want one record created, ensure that the split column has been changed from “multiple” to “single” before adding the item to your active inventory.
There are several reports that you can run while in your chemical inventory. Click the “Chemical Inventory Reports” at the top of your chemical inventory page to see what reports are available.
Please contact EH&S to get the lab room number added.
When you click the Inventory Icon but prior to going into your chemical inventory list there is the option to add more specific storage locations that will appear in the dropdown menu. Please click the link called “Storage Location” to add dropdown options.
