Purchasing

If you need to make simple purchases, such as computer equipment, office supplies, mobile telephones, food, or flowers, you must use an electronic form.

Here's how to make a simple purchase:

1. Ask your supervisor for approval of the purchase if you do not have the authority to make the purchasing decision on your own.
2. Which suppliers should you use?
3. Fill out the purchase order form (e-requisition)
4. Your purchase order is sent to your purchasing representative, while the bill is sent to your supervisor for approval.

Problems? Contact your purchasing representative.
