e-SHOP (Shop Catalogs) Access Requests

Requests for access to e-SHOP should be forwarded to Sherry Thompson at sld8@cornell.edu from the admin manager or FRS.  This permission acknowledges e-SHOP access will allow purchases of $500 and under to go straight to the vendor; no other approval is required.

KFS Access Requests

Requests for access to KFS and KDW dashboard access should be directed to Dan Dibble, dsd76@cornell.edu.

Procurement Card Requests

The university underwent a procurement card reduction effort in order to limit the university’s exposure of stolen card numbers.  Control of spending through appropriate channels was another purpose: goods and services available in e-SHOP are required by policy to be purchased through e-SHOP by university policy 3.25 Procurement of Goods and Services.  This policy also required procurement cards to be issued only to employee’s whose job description includes procurement.

Requests for a procurement card are made to Jeanine Masse, jjm33@cornell.edu. If it is a replacement card for someone leaving the unit, please include the name of the person.
