How to do it |
| 1 |
Choose a campus vendor that sells by recharge. |
- Check Departments Offering Goods and Services Through Recharge.
- If you don't find an on-campus vendor on this page, ask co-workers if they have other suggestions.
- If you find that an on-campus vendor can't help you, you'll need to choose a different purchasing method.
|
| 2 |
Verify that the supply or service can be charged to your index. |
- Contact the fund manager for that index to:
- Determine if the expense is allowable on the index. If not, obtain the proper index number for the expense.
- Let the fund manager know if you plan to purchase services, supplies, or equipment.
- Let the fund manager know when you will receive the item.
- Be sure you have delegated authority from the Principle Investigator (PI) for that index.
