Ordering Protocol
When filling out the blanket order form:
-
Sign the blanket purchase order out on the blanket control sheet.
-
Fill out the form completely including blanket po #, your name, and who
the order was taken by.
-
Obtain an authorized signature from Guy, Swapna, Tom, Rong, Hunter, or
Yiwen.
When placing the order (for blanket orders):
-
Always remember that equipment cannot be purchased on a blanket
order.
-
Do not place an order over $1000 without checking with me first.
-
Ask the customer representative to include the release number (MO...)
on the invoice/packing slip. If you do not do so, the loading dock has
been advised to send your package back to the shipper.
-
Ask him/her to send it to YOUR attention to: Room 019,
CABM, 679 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854.
-
The billing address is: UMDNJ, Accounts Payable, P.O. Box 2686, New
Brunswick, NJ 08902.
-
Always ask for the customer representative's name and include it on the
sheet in case there is a problem with the order.
-
Place any paperwork in the bin on the side of the filing cabinet in my
office (Room 019).
When receiving ANY order: (including the UMD general stores orders)
-
Check to make sure everything is there and intact. If the order is incorrect,
please notify me immediately and I will take care of it from there.
-
Take the packing slip from either the outside or the inside of the box
and give it to me or place it in the bin on the side of the filing cabinet
in my office (Room 019).
When filling out a purchase order:
-
Double check to see that we don't have a blanket purchase order number
with the company you are ordering from; the only time this does not apply
would be for equipment purchases.
-
If you need the order immediately, see me.
-
If you have decided on the items that you will be ordering, obtain a quote
when possible, fill out the blue form and put it in the bin on the side
of the filing cabinet in my office (Room 019). DO NOT CALL IT IN,
as the purchasing department will take care of that for us.
-
If there are any problems with the order - please notify me - I will try
to rectify the situation as quickly and painlessly as possible.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Becky
