NBB Reimbursement Checklists

 

On Nov 3rd we had our first annual Department Procurement meeting. Breanna Klett, Patrick Ko, and Sarosh Siganporia from Central Procurement graciously came to give us an overview on how to procure, the paperwork needed for larger purchases, and why they need that paperwork.

We also went over the paperwork for reimbursements and where you can find that paperwork (links below).

This meeting sparked more discussion about UCIBuy and PALCards. Due to this interest, we are working on scheduling meetings after the holidays to address these subjects with the people who handle UCIBuy and PALCard in Central Procurement. Stay tuned!

We have updated our internal reimbursement and PO/PALCard forms and checklists. Reference links below:
