Recharge Process Overview

If you purchase goods and services for your department, use the recharge process to buy from on-campus suppliers.

Note: Use the recharge process only if the campus supplier you wish to buy from is not available through Oracle Procurement

UC San Diego encourages you to use on-campus suppliers because they sell goods and services exclusively to support the UCSD Principles of Community.

You can pay these self-supporting suppliers though UC San Diego's convenient recharge process. Just provide your Project, Task and Funding Source at point of purchase. The process assigns the charges directly to your project. No purchase orders are involved.

Important things to remember when you use the recharge process:

• Always check with your fund manager before making a purchase.
• Request and provide to the fund manager written verification of supplies or services rendered.
• Ensure that your project is active for the time period of the good or service(s).
• If you are ordering recurring purchases, make sure you update the project as applicable over time.

To use the recharge process, follow the guidelines in How to Buy Using Recharge.

The recharge facility that you purchase from will then process the charge to your project provided through their system integration to Oracle PPM or they will use the Recharge + Application to process the cost.
