Accounts
You must create at least one BDSF account to submit orders.
If you forget your login name or password, you can request them at any time by providing the email address associated with that account.
Multiple accounts associated with a common email address are okay. This can simplify the use of multiple budgets by the same person or lab as budget and PI information is stored after each order submission.
Prinicipal investigators can request all login names and passwords specifying them as the PI (as long as the PI email address is accurate).
Submitting Orders
If you have a UW budget, you must use it rather than a purchase order number.
UW budgets and their billing box numbers (which is not always the departmental box number)are verified during order submission. If you are not sure if you budget is valid or you don't know its billing box number, please check with your fiscal staff. The BDSF cannot look up this information for clients.
Non-UW clients must use a purchase order number. This can be an open-ended PO number or unique for each order.
Non-UW clients must specify whether they are for-profit or non-profit (including governmental and educational institutions).
All contact information accompanying purchase orders must be filled in.
