A PURCHASING REMINDER November 14, 2013
PURCHASE ORDERS ARE REQUIRED PURCHASE ORDERS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL PURCHASES OF MATERIALS AND SERVICES. CONTRACTING FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND THEN TURNING IN A RECEIPT FOR “PAYMENT ONLY” CONSTITUTES AN UNAUTHORIZED PURCHASE.
FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE ONLY AUTHORIZED INDIVIDUALS AS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNING BOARD MAY OBLIGATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT (EC42632) ALL PURCHASES MUST BE MADE BY FORMAL CONTRACT, PURCHASE ORDER, OR THE PETTY CASH PROCESS. (SUSD BP3310)
WHY IS THIS POLICY IN PLACE? TO ENSURE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS PRIOR TO PURCHASE TO ENSURE SUITABILITY OF EXPENDITURES TO AVOID THE INCREASED OVERHEAD ASSOCIATED WITH “PAY ONLY” PROCESSING
BUT I NEED IT NOW! TRY TO PLAN AHEAD BY CONSIDERING YOUR NEEDS FOR THE COMING YEAR AND ISSUING REQUISITIONS AHEAD OF TIME PETTY CASH MAY BE USED FOR PURCHASES FROM LOCAL SUPPLIERS WHEN THE COST OF INDIVIDUAL PURCHASES DOES NOT EXCEED $50.00
WE CAN HELP! IT IS LESS ONEROUS TO INITIATE A REQUISITION UP FRONT THAN TO COMPOSE IT LATER, PROCESS THE RECEIPTS AND SECURE THE REQUIRED APPROVALS. IF IT’S URGENT, PURCHASING CAN HELP EXPEDITE IT. ENTER YOUR REQUISITION AND CONTACT US FOR HELP. REQUISITIONS CAN OFTEN BE ENTERED, APPROVED AND PRINTED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.
