Completing a Requisition Form

The following is a brief outline of information required to complete a Purchase Requisition. A fully completed requisition form will ensure that your requirements are fulfilled in a timely and cost effective manner. The various areas on the requisitions are numbered on the previous page and a corresponding explanation is provided below.

1. Usage of the form: Indicate what the form is being used for by checking the appropriate box.
2.  Ordered by: Complete the required information as fully as possible so that all information related to who in the department is placing the order is provided.
3.  Deliver to: This area directly relates to where the item/service is to be delivered. Failure to provide all the required information may result in late delivery or delivery to the wrong address.
4.  Today's Date: Self-explanatory.
5.  Date Required: This is the date that the item/service is required by. Please leave appropriate time and take into consideration your internal approval process and the vendor's lead-time.
6.  Item No.: Indicate the item number (1-10) if there is more than one item. The requisition form is capable of listing ten items.
7.  Quantity/Unit: Indicate the desired quantity and the unit of measurement (e.g. each, box, case, ug, mg, lb. Etc.).
8.  Suggested Unit Price: Indicate the previous price paid or the suggested price derived from a vendor, catalog, or any other source.
9.  Unit Price and Total Price: Purchasing will fill in this area with the valid price provided and confirmed by the vendor.
10. Shaded Area: This area is for Purchasing to input the Purchase Order (PO) number in.
11. Vendor No.: If known put in the vendor number, otherwise Purchasing will provide.
12.  Date: Today's date.
13.  FOB: Free on Board . This identifies where ownership of the item takes place. The term "Destination" implies that Georgetown takes ownership once the item is delivered to our loading dock. "Origin" implies that ownership takes place at the shipper's loading dock. The preferred method is "Destination" which helps alleviate liability.
14. Terms: Payment terms regarding how and when the vendor will be paid. Georgetown typically pays net 30.
15. Quote: Indicate a quote number (provided by the vendor) or simply the person's name providing the price.
16. Suggested Vendor: The vendor desired. If a change is to be made in the vendor, Purchasing will notify the end user as to the change and why.
17. Account Code/Cost Center: Indicate the account code and the cost center and the % splits. Failure to provide this information will result in a slow down of the process due to a lack of an appropriate funding code.
18. Cost Center Name and Contact Person: Name of cost center, contact name, and if possible a phone number.
19. Authorization Requested By: The appropriate department signature.
20. Capital Equipment Purchase or Lease Information: This area only needs to be filled out if the items being procured fall under the capital equipment definition. Please keep in mind that purchases deemed capital equipment require Finance Officer approval and may impact the delivery time.
21. Item Description: The most critical aspect (aside from the funding source) which clearly identifies the item/service required. Relevant information that is useful is catalog numbers, model numbers, and other attributes that identify the item/service. Please be as specific as possible.
