Buying Manual updated March 1, 2016

Posted: March 2, 2016

Two minor changes have been made to the Buying Manual.

On February 25, 2016, the Controller’s Office announced changes to vendor types for Refund and Reimbursement (RV) and Special Payment (SP). The definitions and vendor setup instructions for these two vendor types have been added or modified in Buying Manual section 205, Vendor Setup.

Additionally, section 302, PCard Prohibited Transactions has clarified that payment for catering services is prohibited on an individual procurement card unless the vendor has a university contract (not to be confused with the one-page catering contract) and the amount is within the cardholders limit.
