- May require future changes in account distribution, tax application, or item quantity or description
- Require signatures on written agreements or contracts (must be signed by a professional buyer)
- Are for foreign purchases requiring duty papers or that are shipped FOB Origin
- Are for blanket or standing orders
- Are for items restricted from Department Order, Express Card, or Express Order
Processing a High Value Purchase Requisition
If your department has authorized you to spend its funds and you have an IFIS user identification code and password, you can access FinancialLink to complete the request.
Once your High Value Purchase Requisition is completed and approved, it is automatically sent to the appropriate professional buyer. This buyer will:
- Assign a purchase order number
- Contact you or the designated contact person with any questions regarding the request
- Follow UC policy to place your order
Change orders
It is possible to change certain elements on a High Value Purchase Order. These changes can only be made through a change order by a professional buyer.
To have access to FinancialLink and be able to establish High Value Purchase Requisitions, you must:
- Have a valid ACT user ID and password
- Receive Purchasing Online training by attending a class or receive instruction from an authorized department trainer
- Have your department submit a Purchasing Authorization Form (PDF) that includes a list of Organization codes for which you will be authorized to place requests
