DID YOU KNOW. . .
DID YOU KNOW . . . YOU CAN PULL IN A DELL E-QUOTE THROUGH PANTHERBUY?
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINE HOW FACILITY AND STAFF MEMBERS WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE PANTHERBUY SYSTEM CAN BUILD ELECTRONIC QUOTES (E-QUOTES) USING THE DELL PREMIER SITE. THESE QUOTES CAN THEN BE “PULLED” INTO THE PANTHERBUY SYSTEM FOR PURCHASING BY A DEPARTMENT BUYER.
HERE’S HOW:
- A special Dell Premier Page has been set up for University of Pittsburgh faculty and staff to create standard orders from Dell:
- The Dell Premier page can be accessed by any faculty/staff member who creates a user account on the page
- Faculty and staff do not need PantherBuy access in order to create a Dell Premier login
- Here is the link to the Pitt Specific Premier Page:
- Once a login is created on the Pitt Specific Dell Premier Page, a user can log in, shop for the item(s) needed and generate an E-quote
- E-quotes will be saved under that user’s email address that was used to set up their Dell Premier login
- Users can name the E-quote as they wish
- The user who generates the E-quote will receive an email with the E-quote number and name
- The individual who generated the E-quote on the Premier Page must notify the Department Buyer in their department with access to PantherBuy and forward the Dell e-mail with the E-quote information to the Department Buyer
- The Department Buyer will need to log into the PantherBuy system
- Locate the Dell Punchout Icon
- Click on the icon to punchout to Dell’s Pitt specific webpage
- Once in the punchout environment, click on the E-quotes link on the vendor bar at the top of the page
- This will redirect you to the E-quotes page
- Enter in the email address provided by the individual that created the E-quote
- Click on the link to “Retrieve E-Quote” link
- This will pull up a list of E-quotes associated with that specific email address that the department buyer entered in the field

- There are two ways to pull up the user’s E-quote
- Click on the E-Quote number link
or
