Purchasing Overview
Purpose: This is an overview of the University’s procurement procedures and how they relate
to the Banner Financial system.
The Purchasing Department’s function is to procure goods and services for utilization in the
execution of UCA’s mission at the best value possible and within all applicable legal
requirements.
General purchasing policies apply to all purchases made by the University, regardless of funding
source. All purchases from restricted funds are made in accordance with the University’s
established policies and procedures, as well as in compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations, special terms and/or requirements as may be indicated by the contracts, grants, or
donations.
The University’s procurement regulations and procedures are based on the State of Arkansas
Procurement Law and therefore no sale or purchase will be entered into unless the purchasing
and budgeting authority has certified that funds have been encumbered for the purchase. This
means every purchase must have a completed purchase order issued. Persons who enter into
transactions and agreements without Purchasing’s authorization are personally liable for
payment.
STEPS IN THE PROCUREMENT STREAM
As a general rule, most transactions should be placed as online requisitions through Banner,
therefore, transactions that are not placed online are considered exceptions (these are
explained below in the Expenditure Form Processing section). Exceptions to the system can
create a variety of problems such as delays in receiving, delays in payment, delays in order
processing, or miscommunications within the procurement stream, we encourage you to place
orders online whenever possible. The steps in the procurement stream are outlined below to
help you understand how important your efforts are to making this process work.
Step 1: Need Identified and Researched
A need arises for goods or services is recognized. This is conveyed to the support person
who seeks out the necessary information to make a determination of what to buy. The
Purchasing Office, colleagues, catalogs, vendor quotes, etc. can be helpful to you in
gathering this information.
Based upon this research, the department decides to pursue the purchase. In order for
you to get the item(s) that you desire, it is critical that the information you gathered be
conveyed to the appropriate people. Your mission is to convey exactly what you want
through the process—via quote, catalog number, part number, description, original
receipts, etc. The more information you provide, the better.

Step 2: The Purchase Requisition
Generating a purchase requisition begins the formal procurement process. The following steps
will guide us through the life cycle of a requisition. You will see that the accuracy of your
information on the requisition is critical to every step of the process.
Step 3: Approvals
Your requisition goes through the approval process. At this stage, the information you provided
tells personnel what you are trying to order and how much money needs to be encumbered for
the purchase.
Step 4: Purchase Order Generated
Your information taken from the requisition becomes a Purchase Order. The Purchase Order is
a binding agreement between the University and the vendor to conduct business. The benefits
of the clarity of your information on the Purchase Order should be obvious.
Step 5: Vendor Processes Order
The vendor takes your information from our Purchase Order and puts it into their system. A
vendor’s order entry/filling system may flow something like this:
The order is passed to clerical support where it is reviewed for errors.
The information passes to their credit department for approval.
The order goes to a warehouse to be filled
The materials go to shipping to be packaged and sent to the University
The billing department generates an invoice, which is mailed to our Accounts Payable
Department.
Step 6: Order Received by UCA
The materials you have ordered will be received at the University by various departmental
personnel. When the individual department receives the items, they will be opened and
inspected. The data entered on the requisition will be compared to the items received, checking
that the items received are what was requested.
Note: Confirming orders such as prepayments, subscriptions, memberships, standing orders
and travel orders will NOT require the receiving process. These items will be received and
processed by the Accounts Payable Department.
Step 7: Paying the Invoice
Accounts Payable will compare the information supplied on your purchase order to the invoice
information received from the vendor to determining if the vendor is asking for payment on the
items you requested. Accurate and adequate information from you is critical in making this
match so that the invoice can be paid in a timely manner.
5
Step 8: Fixed Assets Inventory
Items that qualify as fixed assets are tagged and inventoried based on the information you
provided on the purchase requisition. This data is maintained in the fixed assets system until
the item is sold or scrapped at the end of its useful life.
As you can see, the accuracy of your information on the Requisition is critical to every step of
the procurement process.
EXPENDITURE FORM PROCESSING
The requisition is just one of the expenditure forms used at UCA; however, it is the one most
frequently used and the one that allows Banner the most versatility. Because processing may
vary depending upon the type of expenditure, it is important to review the different types of
transactions commonly used and the appropriate expenditure forms associated with each.

TRAVEL REQUISITIONS
When travel is anticipated, a Travel Requisition must be completed for the estimated total cost and
dates. The Travel Requisition should be submitted as soon as possible to allow sufficient time for
processing. Only one Travel Requisition per trip is needed unless a check needs to be made payable to a
different vendor.
Example #1: The vendor does not accept payment with a credit card, but requires payment be wired or
a check mailed to them. Two requisitions will be required when requesting Travel to cut a check to the
vendor or to wire money to a vendor to pay for registration fees; one in the vendor’s name and one in
the Traveler’s name. The vendor requisition number needs to be in the document text of the Traveler’s
requisition.
WHERE – Orlando, FL
WHEN – January 18-22, 2018
WHY – to attend the ABC Conference
Airline will be paid with the ghost credit card
Lodging will be paid with the ghost credit card
Registration is being paid on another PO because the vendor will not accept credit cards; thus
the ghost credit card couldn’t be used. See R0101111
Example #2: Only one requisition is required when the vendor will accept payment with a credit card
either online or by fax. This requisition needs to be in the traveler’s name.
WHERE – Orlando, FL
WHEN – January 18-22, 2018
WHY – to attend the ABC Conference
Airline will be paid with the ghost credit card
Lodging will be paid with the ghost credit card
Registration is being paid on a sponsored credit card
a. Payment may be made online by using one of the Travel Office’s computers.
b. Payment may be made by bringing the registration form to the Travel Office.
c. TR-1 will be submitted within five (5) working days after the trip ends for
reimbursement of other expenses.
Please note: Lodging and registration may always be paid with the ghost credit card or a
departmental sponsored credit card even when it is not listed in the document text of the travel
requisition. Airline MUST always be direct billed to the university (can’t purchase airfare
yourself unless it saves the university money. Documents showing the savings must be attached
to the TR-1).
For example, if by purchasing the airline and hotel room together it saves money, the traveler
may purchase the airline and hotel from Travelocity, but must print and attached to the TR-1
what the lodging cost would be as well as the airline cost. Note this should be done at the time
the airfare and lodging is purchased from Travelocity. Do not wait until you are ready to turn in
your TR-1 and then try to go back and figure it out. The cost of airfare vs lodging will be done by
29
percent using the documentation the traveler provided. (See instruction for completing the TR-
1 for more detail instructions and an example.)
A travel requisition is completed just like any other requisition (See the Purchasing manual for
instructions) except that additional information must be included in the document text. Click
the options drop down menu and then choose the document text. The following information
must be included:
Destination/Location (Where) (required even on Standing Orders)
Dates of the trip (When) (required even on Standing Orders)
Purpose of the trip (Why) (required even on Standing Orders)
UCA or State employee (required even on Standing Orders)
If registration is being paid to a vendor on a purchase order, you must list the traveler’s name
(Who), dates, and their Travel purchase order number or state that no other expenses will be
reimbursed.
If using a purchase order to pay a vendor for an employee’s lodging or meal expenses, a direct
billing form must be completed.
When using more than one FOAPAL line, document accounting must be unchecked in the
requisition process.
No tax on travel.
If an advance is needed, the following information must also be included in the document text:
Airline amount, if applicable
Registration amount, if applicable
Lodging amount, if applicable
Car rental amount, if applicable, including fuel
Meals amount (excluding the amount of meals provided at the conference), if applicable
Incidental amount, if applicable
