GUIDELINES

Open Orders provides an inexpensive and expedient mechanism for departments to obtain supplies that are not available from the University Stores stockroom or items that create a "small order" problem for departments. Contracts have been established with many local companies and some selected out-of-town companies for the purpose of obtaining these supplies.

Guidelines for Open Orders (Non-Stock Orders):

• No single release can exceed $2500.
• No rentals.
• Digilink requires a release number on a "Non-Stock Open Order" form before obtaining merchandise.  A copy of the release will be faxed to the department.
• All correspondence must reference the release number.
• Deliveries are not to be made to campus until a release number is issued by Open Orders.
• Orders to out-of-town vendors must be sent to Open Orders for placement.
• Forward all local packing slips to Open Orders with the release number clearly recorded.
