If you know your current password, log into Shop@UW and click the "MD# Password Page" link on the tan navigation bar on the left-hand side of the screen. If you do not know your current password, contact Customer Service at ShopUW@bussvc.wisc.edu or 608-497-4400. For security purposes, we can only give password information to an account holder.
If you forgot your password or MD number, please contact Customer Service at ShopUW@bussvc.wisc.edu or 608-497-4400. For security purposes, we can only give this information to a listed account holder.
Parent/child accounts are a service provided to individuals who manage multiple MD accounts for their department. The parent/child account allows one individual to make purchases and to monitor the activity of any MD account they control. This is all done without disturbing the login process for the assigned MD account holder.
Parent/child accounts are activated and updated by Shop@UW staff. To request a parent/child account, please contact Customer Service: 608-497-4400 or ShopUW@bussvc.wisc.edu.
Use the Preposting Allocation Tool (PAT) to change or split the funding for Shop@UW purchases before they are posted to WISDM. Transactions for each account are posted in PAT on a nightly basis. Department representatives may then login to PAT and adjust/allocate the funding for those transactions. On the third business day of the following month at noon, transactions will be locked and further changes will not be allowed within PAT. After the transaction has posted to WISDM, you will need to use a Non-Salary Cost Transfer to rellocate the expense.
Log in to Shop@UW with your MD number and password. From the store lobby screen, type "record storage" into the search box in the top left corner of the screen.
Shop@UW offers resources inside the website for order investigation. They are located in the tan navigation bar on the left-hand side of the screen.
The "Outstanding Orders" page identifies pending orders. Orders appear here for one of two reasons: 1.) An item is back-ordered (Check the "Shipped" and "Ordered" columns. If the Shipped quantity is smaller than the Ordered amount, the item is back-ordered) or 2.) The order is "in transit" between the Shop@UW website and the vendor's ordering system (this does not mean that the order is on hold).
The "Recent Invoices" page provides a snapshot of your last 60 days of purchases. The informaiton is presented in invoice form. Simply click on the invoice number to see a copy of the invoice.
In all cases, we urge you to first check with the building dock to ensure yoru order hasn't actually arrived without your knowledge. This is especially true with purchases that appear in the Invoice Status page.
If the item you're waiting for is back-ordered, contact the vendor of that product to get a delivery estimate.
If you still haven't received your goods and the order has been sitting in the Order Status page for more than 2 business days, please call Customer Service at 608-497-4400.
What is needed is commonly called "workflow" and regrettably, the modules that are currently implemented for the first phase of the Shop@UW project do not support workflow. Various ways of addressing this need--for it is a real need heard from many people--have been explored and the following outboard workflow processes are recommended.
- If the user has a child MDS account, the cart created from the child account can be saved and then let the person with parent account approve it by being the one to send the order. For more information, see parent/child account question above.
- If the user has a MDS account that isn't a child account, the user will have to create a cart, add items to the cart, print off or save as a PDF, and send the print output to an admin who has an MDS account and can re-create and submit the order.
- If the user has no MDS account, the user may log into the system as a guest, via the Guest User access point at http://wneta.bussvc.wisc.edu/ShopOnlyAuth/AuthUser.aspx, create a cart, add items to the cart, print off or save as a PDF, and send the print output to an admin who has an MDS account and can re-create and submit the order.
Users will notice two different system display messages where the price is displayed:
1. Getting Live Price
- The price is obtained from the supplier's punch-out web site.
- "Getting LivePrice" text changes to the actual price.
- LivePrice shows a special icon
next to the price.
- "Add to Cart" button available in the search window without leaving the Shop@UW site.
2. Order from Supplier
- The "Order from Supplier" text is hyperlinked and navigates directly to the item on the supplier's punch-out web site.
- Add item to cart on the punch-out site.
- Click on the punch-out site "check out" button or link and, continue clicking through the punch-out site to return the order to the Shop@UW shopping cart.
- Review documentation about punch-out suppliers at http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/shopuw/links/InstructionGuides/BasicShopping.pdf.
At the top of the EIS punch-out welcome screen is a search field for finding ink and toner. If you do not see the search field when the welcome screen opens, use the browser window scroll bar and navigate to the top of the web page.
Type a printer manufacturer, model number, or cartridge item number in the Search box outlined below. 
Before you can return an item from the IDT punch-out, the user will need to fill out a PI (Principal Investigator) name—both the first name and last name. If you are not ordering for a PI, please fill out the name of the person who will be receiving or using the product.
For example, at the IDT shopping cart (shown below), press the Checkout button.
IDT will not allow orders without a filled in first name and last name. If you are not ordering for a PI, please fill out the name of the person who will be receiving or using the product. To complete the order at the IDT punch-out site:
- Select a Spec Sheet Option.
- Enter a name in the PI First Name field.
- Enter a name in the PI Last Name field.
- Click on Submit.
After items are added to the Qiagen shopping cart on the punch-out web site, click on the "Continue" button. The shopper is navigated to the Order transmission screen to show whether the item is available immediately or if the item will ship at a later date. If the item is available, a green "Available" icon appears in the item description field. If the item is not available, a yellow "Inquire" icon appears in the item description field.
The "Inquire" icon provides a link that opens an information pop-up window that explains generic availability status.
