<div dir="ltr"><div><p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you’ve seen the communication yet (below), but Oracle is transitioning to a new system called <strong>RSSP</strong>, and we’ll be moving along with them. The interface looks quite different, but the functionality and information required to complete a request remain largely the same.</p>
<p>I’ve been using RSSP for a few weeks now and was part of the development/rollout team, so we’re slightly ahead of the curve. <strong>Please make time to attend one of the upcoming webinars</strong> to ensure you're up to speed before the official transition on <strong>August 4th</strong>.</p>
<h3>A Key Change to Note:</h3>
<p>In the previous system, a lab team member (requester) could add the PI as an approver <em>before</em> the request reached me (as the transactor). <strong>In RSSP, that is no longer possible.</strong> Once a requester submits a request, it comes <strong>directly to me</strong>. If a PI or team member wants to review requests before submission, they will need to <strong>submit the request themselves</strong>.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any questions or need help navigating the new system.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
Bill</p></div><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Dear Colleagues,</span></div><div><span id="m_-5844349451739788656m_-917056209805865105gmail-docs-internal-guid-a3d50c8d-7fff-f652-ed9c-0a3ff5b90aad"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Redwood Self-Service Procurement (RSSP) is launching August 4!</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">The classic procurement interface will be replaced by </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">Redwood Self-Service Procurement (RSSP)</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"> starting </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">Monday, August 4</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">. To help you prepare, Oracle Procurement users are strongly encouraged to attend a </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">live webinar</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"> that will provide:</span></font></p><ul style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" role="presentation"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><font face="arial, sans-serif">A walkthrough of the new Purchase Requisitions interface</font></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" role="presentation"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><font face="arial, sans-serif">A live demo of the upcoming changes and known issues</font></span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt" role="presentation"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><font face="arial, sans-serif">A Q&A session to address your questions</font></span></p></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline">Stay informed by monitoring the dedicated </span><a href="https://procurement.ucr.edu/pur-reqs-redwood" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;text-decoration-line:underline;vertical-align:baseline">RSSP webpage</span></a><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal
