  <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="introduction">There is a new format for Collective Release of Purchase Requisitions using the ME55 transaction in SAP. To release under the new format, click the pencil/checkmark icon in the first column—it will then change into a checkmark. There is no separate step to “save” the release.</p>
<p>If a line was approved in error, just unclick the pencil/checkmark icon prior to leaving the approval screen. If more information is needed, the approver can view the requisition by double-clicking on the requisition number and then using the green arrow to go back to the list.</p>
<p>For step-by-step instructions, please see the <a title="Collective Release Instructions" href="https://www.iup.edu:443/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&amp;ItemID=139538">Collective Release Instructions</a>. There is no change to the process using the ESS/Portal option.</p>

  <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="introduction">The 2012 Business Opportunities Fair, originally scheduled for April 26, has been postponed in order to better serve our region’s businesses.</p>
<p>When the event date was selected in 2011, the dates for other regional business fairs were not yet known. Since that time, several similar events have been scheduled in April and May. IUP has a commitment to our region and events designed to promote economic growth, and we do not wish to conflict with these programs or stretch the resources of members of our regional business community wishing to support these events.</p>
<p>More information will be available as a date is confirmed for the next <a title="Business Opportunities Fair" href="https://www.iup.edu:443/WorkArea/linkit.aspx?LinkIdentifier=id&amp;ItemID=104074">IUP Business Opportunities Fair</a>. Thank you for your support of this important initiative.</p>
