This page describes how to submit a quote to Purchasing for review.
Departments may request quotes directly from suppliers when purchasing goods that will cost less than $50,000. If a supplier provides you with a quote that has a signature line, it must be reviewed and signed by Purchasing.
After adding non-catalog item lines to your order and making any necessary updates to your cart, click Proceed to Checkout.
Click the pencil icon in the General section of the requisition to update it.
A window opens. Scroll down and complete the following steps:
- Order Restricted?: check the box.
- Order Restricted Reason: select Quote with Signature Line.
- Click Save.
Next, click Comments to log a comment and upload the quote that needs to be reviewed.
Take the following actions in the Comments section:
- Click the plus icon to add a new comment.
- Describe what document needs to be reviewed by Purchasing in the Description field.
- Enter a short description of the attachment you’re uploading in the File Name field.
- Click Choose File to search for and upload the quote.
- Click the checkmark icon to save your comment.
Review the rest of your order and click the Place Order button to submit.
Purchasing will review the requisition and the attached quote. Depending on the complexity of the quote or the purchase, you may be prompted to complete a PO Purchasing Contract Review Form. Purchasing will notify you in the comments if this step is necessary.
