Items MAY NOT BE ORDERED until your PO has been approved by your building principal, the super-intendent, and a purchase order # has been assigned.

#2 List all items to be purchased, including item number, description and unit price. Extend the quantity ordered times the unit price under the “Total” column. Attach any quotes or order forms to the requisition.

#3 Add all items listed in the “Total” column and enter this figure on the “Subtotal” line. THERE MUST BE AN AMOUNT ON THIS LINE.

#4 Calculate 15% shipping on the “Subtotal” amount and enter this figure on the “Estimated Shipping” line. IF YOU KNOW FOR SURE there will be no shipping charges, enter “0” on this line. THERE MUST BE AN AMOUNT ON THIS LINE.

#5 Add “Subtotal” and “Shipping” together and enter this figure on the “Total Amount of Pur- chase Order” line. THERE MUST BE AN AMOUNT ON THIS LINE.

#6 Ordering instructions must be indicated in the “Order Instructions” box. A breakdown in Communication could result in your order(s) not being placed.

#7 If the order needs to be coded to a specific State or Federal program, indicate which program on the “Program To Code” line. If the order needs to be coded to more than one program, attach a separate sheet indicating the program and amount, and attach to the requisition.

#8 A copy of the requisition will be returned to you. If there is a “Purchase Order” number listed in the upper right and corner, your request has been approved for purchase. See the “Order In-structions” box for purchase status. If there is NO “Purchase Order” number listed, your request is missing information. Supply the missing information and return the requisition form to Admin for a purchase order number.

YOU MAY NOT PLACE THE ORDER UNTIL YOU HAVE A PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER.

CHECKING IN ORDER: When you receive the approved copy of the requisition (you will know it is approved if there is a PO # in the upper right hand corner), keep the form until you have received your order IN FULL. Attach a copy of the packing slip to this order copy and return to Admin. Indi-cate that items have been received by marking them off, signing and dating the packing slip. Write on the packing slip that the order is “Ready for Payment”. If you do not receive a packing slip with your order, follow the same procedure using the requisition copy.

PAYMENT: Orders will not be paid until verification has been received from you that the order has been received in good condition and is ready for payment. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CHECK OUT AT THE END OF THE YEAR WITH OPEN PURCHASE ORDERS.

YEAR END: This procedure will apply to year end “WANT” supplies requested. You will need to ob-tain a catalog and properly fill out a requisition form (including item numbers, prices, etc.) before requests will be considered for purchase.
