Requisitions & Purchase Orders

Procurement Services process all of the University's requisitions and purchase orders. A requisition is a request from a department to procure goods or services, stating the quantity and description in order to generate a purchase order. The requisition authorizes Procurement Services to reserve departmental funds for goods or services. A purchase order is a document issued to a supplier confirming an agreement for the supply of goods or services and is generated from a requisition.

All purchases being paid with an invoice require a requisition. Requisitions can be created in Workday.

Change Orders can be requested in Workday.
