Requisitions
A Requisition ("R") is created at the department level. Each department specifies the goods and/or services they wish to procure. The requisition ("R") then goes through an electronic approval process before arriving at the Purchasing Office.
The following are examples of when an R should be used:
- Purchasing goods that exceed department delegated limit- $10,000
- Procuring any services
- Purchasing equipment/goods that must be tagged (added to department inventory, controlled property)
- Payment of any memberships
- Purchases are otherwise restricted on the procurement card
- Purchases from or payments to foreign entities
- Purchasing of software, hardware, customized/branded items
