RE: Purchase Requisitions for Computer Hardware and Software

Purchase requisitions for computer hardware and software which exceed $200 are reviewed by IT. In the existing paper requisition process, they have been received in Purchasing and then forwarded to IT. With full implementation of the Workflow electronic requisition process this semester, they will be reviewed by IT as an approval step prior to receipt in Purchasing. The applicable object codes are:

89015 – Computer Equipment under $5000
89018 – Computer Equipment over $5000
70009 – Software
89027 – Capitalized Software

Use of the appropriate object code will aid in the efficient processing and approval of IT-related requests and avoid returns (“rejection” in Workflow) for incorrect coding.
