Finance Office Services

Purchasing

To request a purchase, please use the Purchase Order database available through Lotus Notes. Input your purchase request and route it to your supervisor for approval. Once approved, the request will automatically be routed to the Business Office for processing. Once you receive the items requested, go back into the Purchase Order database and edit your request to note that the item has been received. Once this has been done, the Business Office will process payment to the vendor.
