Marketplace Shutdown

Hello Marketplace Users,  

Following up on the email sent out by ATUS regarding Banner's planned outage and upgrade on March 28-29, 2024, we wanted to reach out to let you know the impact this will have on the Marketplace during that time.  

As the Marketplace connects with Banner to generate POs, the Marketplace will be unavailable for use March 28-29 as well. You will find that all catalogs will be hidden during that timeframe, and there will be a note in the "General Information" box at the top right side of the Marketplace with information regarding the anticipated return to regular usage. 

Please plan ahead for any purchases of items needed prior to that timeframe or wait until the Banner system upgrade has concluded and returned to normal operation to place any new orders or approve existing orders.

Any orders that are approved during this planned downtime may result in having to re-place orders, so we ask that you do not approve any orders during this time.

Please Note: The Contracts, Procurement, and Travel Teams are all currently working remotely. All phones are forwarded so you can continue to reach us through all the usual channels.
