The approving manager’s department will not incur any costs for the computer equipment at the time of the approval. Cost allocations are distributed once each year based on PC counts for each business unit.
IMPORTANT:
Once your order is submitted the request will route to the new hire’s manager for approval. If the approving manager fails to approve the request within 24 hours of receiving the email notice, the approver will receive a “REMINDER” email each day for five days. If the approving manager fails to approve the request within five days the system will cancel the request. A cancelled request cannot be reopened. A new request must be submitted in these cases.
Ordering Computer Applications
Requesting applications to be installed on computer ONLY
Step 1: Request applications to be installed on new hire’s computer. (MUST have network ID) - When PS Workflow notice is received initiate request via Employee Self Service
(http://requestcenter.oxy.com)
NOTE:
The new hire must be setup in the system before applications can be ordered. You do not need the machine name to request applications.
Step 2: From the request catalog you have multiple options to locate the applications. Step 2a: Select the Applications category then
select Organization Function. Select the category and locate the application(s).
Step 2b: Type the name of the application in the Search within current category box.
Step 3: When the application is located select the application and complete the request form. Step 4: If you are only ordering one application click Order Now.

IMPORTANT:
Do not request that IT “mirror” the applications on an existing employee’s computer to the new hire’s computer. This is a practice IT does not support. Many applications require approval by the “application owner” before the application can be installed and the purchase of a license may be required. Most managers/departments don’t know what applications are installed on an existing employee’s computer and therefore a blanket request may result in installation of unnecessary and older versions of applications.
IMPORTANT:
Once your order is submitted the request will route for approvals, if required. If the approver fails to approve the request within 24 hours of receiving the email notice, the approver will receive a “REMINDER” email each day for five days. If the approver fails to approve the request within five days the system will cancel the request. A cancelled request cannot be reopened. A new request must be submitted in these cases.

Step 4: In the User Information section of the request form delete your name in the Requested For field.
Step 5: Type the name of the new hire in the Requested For field.
The network ID is required for shared folder access to ensure the new hire is added to the appropriate security
group. Requests for system access require a network ID. Without a network ID the new hire cannot be granted
access to systems.
