Purchasing Goods or Services:

Purchasing Card:

Faculty and Staff can apply for a Purchasing Card (P-Card) through a Systems Access Request Form after a mandatory prerequisite training session.  See Purchasing Card Policy for details.

Purchase Requisition and Purchase Orders:

Purchase requisitions (PR) are required to be prepared by the department for all purchases over $100.00 (If a purchasing card is not used) and approved as per the Approval Authority Schedule (AAS) prior to the delivery of goods or commencement of services. PR's can be created using Oracle I-Procurement.

Each approved PR is routed by Oracle to Purchasing Services.  Your PR's will be reviewed along with any supplier quotations obtained and a Purchase Order (PO) will be created by Purchasing Services. The PO terms and conditions form the legal contract between Ryerson and the Supplier unless an agreement is created.  The PO is sent to the supplier as the PO number is to be referenced on all bill of landing, invoices and correspondence. 

Tip: Please refer to the Execution of Contracts and Documents and Signing Approval Authority Schedule for information regarding signing approval requirements.
