BrownBuys Tips and Tricks

  • The letter (S) that shows up after the person’s name in the system identifies the person as someone with the “shopper” role in BrownBuys. 
  • If you are changing the ship to information, it can only be changed to another address in the drop down menu which is populated with Brown University addresses.
  • Changes cannot be made to BrownBuys purchase orders.  These orders are sent out very quickly which doesn’t allow for time to make changes.  If you forgot to include something, it needs to be submitted as a new order.
  • The internal memo field can be used to provide additional details such as grant related information that needs to be included as part of the documentation for purchases made using sponsored funding.
