Special Note: No purchase requisition can be in "Pending Approval" status in our PeopleSoft system after 2:00 p.m., May 11th
Procedure for "Emergency" (Paper) Purchase Requisitions Everyone in the SLAC community is encouraged to submit Purchase Requisitions within the calendar dates/cutoff times shown on the previous page. We recognize, however, that some urgent purchases that cannot appropriately be made with the P-card** (SLAC credit card) might be necessary during this short shutdown period. To meet this need, the following interim internal procedure will be used for bona fide "Emergency" requisitions that must be placed during the shutdown of PeopleSoft on May 12th, 15th and 16th. 1) Emergency manual paper requisition forms will available from the Purchasing Department (A&E Building 041) and the Stores Department . Please contact Tom Murphy in Stores at Ext. 3582 or Cory Perreras in Purchasing at Ext. 2641 to obtain a paper requisition form. 2) Departmental personnel who are faced with having to get an emergency procurement completed during the time PeopleSoft is down, need to pick up the paper requisition form, fill it out completely, obtain all appropriate approval signatures and then hand-carry the completed paper requisition form back to Purchasing for emergency processing. ** Purchasing encourages the continued utilization of the P-Card (SLAC credit card) program during this shutdown. Please note that P-card purchases can only be made within the established guidelines, policies and procedure for P-card use. For any questions on this emergency procurement process, contact: David Pindroh, Deputy Purchasing Officer Office: (650) 926-8515 Fax: (650) 926-2000
