MATERIAL RETURNS

The Material Return Form is used when:

• The University requires copies to be kept on file.
• Financial concerns are involved. (See Manual of Business Procedures for more information)

Material Return Process:

• Department completes form and forwards all copies to Stores or Purchasing. Shipments not requiring return authorization or approvals may be brought to Stores Shipping for immediate processing.
• Upon receipt, a number is assigned and the yellow copy returned to the department.
• An approved Material Return will initiate pickup of material by University Stores. The green copy will be signed by the Stores driver and left with the department as a receipt.
• Shipping information is filled in by University Stores.  The blue copy is retained by University Stores and the white copy is forwarded to the Accounting Department. The MR Database is then updated.
• Departments inquiring as to the status of a shipment should contact University Stores at     517.355.1700.
