Departments - Finance & Purchasing

TRI provides a centralised procurement process for staff members of Partner Institutes.

The Purchasing team is able to assist you by obtaining quotes, following up on your orders and back ordered products, and by providing you with cost effective product options.

The TRI Purchasing Team is responsible for all purchase requisitions, purchase orders and catalogue maintenance in JDE. Purchase Orders are sent to suppliers on a daily basis, and where applicable orders are consolidated with other orders to save on freight charges for you. We are always happy to assist staff in obtaining product quotes for non-catalogue items, and also in setting up new suppliers as required.

TRI uses JDE as its purchasing system for all occupants within the building. Using JDE is a condition of entry into TRI to control the number of deliveries and therefore minimise the WH&S concerns in TRI dock area. TRI also uses JDE to track various items for WH&S purposes.

Anything that gets delivered to TRI is to be requisitioned through JDE. However there are exceptions to this rule:
Assets – if TRI is not the ultimate owner of the asset, it is not to be purchased through JDE.
