The Opera browser is required on Mac computers to generate bar codes. No other browser will work when generating barcodes.

Download the Opera version 7.54u2 browser from Opera. Do not use any other version.

Once Opera has been downloaded and ready to use, choose the Opera menu and click File>Print. In the print menu click on the third box in the print window. From the drop down menu choose Opera. Check the box next to “print background”. Print back ground must be checked in order for the bar code to print correctly.

Next, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. This preset will need to be used for printing all bar codes. The preset will stay in effect until the Opera session is closed.

In Oracle, payment requests are made online in the UAB FN Document Entry/Approval or UAB Requisition Input responsibility. However, the University must maintain official records that include the evidentiary documentation to support each payment. Such documentation may include the Payment Request Documentation Form, invoices, receipts, contracts and other forms etc. The records are used to document the University’s compliance with Federal and State laws, regulations, and guidelines, and to satisfy audit standards. As a result, the records are made available to the examiners, auditors and program reviewers.

Payment Request Documentation Information may be found here

The Purchase Order, New Supplier, and Journal Entry forms require the creation of a Bar Code from the form on this page.

The Purchase Order Form must be used to submit additional documentation related to an Oracle requisition, which creates a P.O. Some requisitions that produce purchase orders may not have or require supporting documentation, but for those that do, the same procedures contained herein should be followed. Since you will not have a payment request number when requesting a P.O., you must provide the requisition number when completing the Purchase Order supplement form.

The forms are located in the tan bar column of this webpage.

1. Place each Bar Code Sheet at the beginning of all supporting documentation. Such documentation includes invoices, receipts, contracts, other forms etc. Examples of other forms are the Equipment Purchase Information form, which is required to issue a purchase order for capital equipment (i.e. equipment that cost $2,000 or more), and the Personal Service Form required for independent contractors
2. If any form requires signature(s), make sure that you obtain the appropriate signatures before faxing the information.
3. Fax to 64701.
4. Departments are required to keep the original documentation for at least 90 days.
5. To view documents in WebIT 3™, you must follow the instructions in the WebIT 3™ Manual. This manual will be available at http://www.uab.edu/adminsystems/. The Website to access WebIT 3™ is http://optidoc.ad.uab.edu/.
