The complete text of ACU's purchasing policies is in the Employee Handbook in the "Policy and Procedure" section as policy number 930. The policies are summarized below.
|
Purchases must be initiated with either a purchasing card or purchase order. Entering a requisition after the order has been placed or received is prohibited by ACU policy. |
Off-Campus Vendors
You may use any of the following purchasing methods for off-campus vendors:
On-Campus Vendors
- Purchasing Card - This card may be used at any vendor that accepts MasterCard. Please see the list of items below that must be purchased with a method other than the purchasing card. A copy of the Purchasing Card Guidelines is available in PDF Format. (149 KB)
- Purchase Orders - These may be used at any vendor that accepts purchase orders. There is no transaction limit other than your department's budget.
|
Please do not use your purchasing card at any of the on-campus vendors as it ends up costing ACU more by having to pay the transaction and merchant fees on the purchase. |
To purchase from on campus vendors, please use the following methods:
- ARAMARK Campus Dining Services and WFF Management Services - Enter a requisition in Banner Finance for a purchase order.
- Warehouse -All requests for stores orders should be made by fax to x6731 using the stores order form.
- Abilene Educational Supply (AES), ACU Press, The Campus Store, Copy Stop or any other department - Give them your Banner FOAP for a journal voucher.
Purchasing Card Policy
The university reserves the right to terminate a cardholder's purchasing card at any time. Cardholders are responsible for ensuring the proper and secure use of their purchasing card and should respect the card as if it were their own. Cardholders are responsible for insuring that sufficient budget funds exist for making purchases and should only use account numbers that they have received appropriate authorization to use. Any misuse of the card or the PVS email statements (i.e. not in accordance with ACU policy) could result in suspension of the cardholder's privilege and other disciplinary action under standard university policy. The university reserves the right to change any policies or procedures stated in these guidelines. You will be notifiedof any changes made.
