Updates & Tips

Update 1: Purchasing Decision Guide App

 

In the first “tip” of this series, we wanted to highlight the new "Purchasing Decision Guide" created by our Accounts Payable (AP), Procurement Services (PSO) and Technology (TMPE) teams that compiles essential information on "How to Make a Purchase" at RIT.

The guide offers detailed instructions and resources for submitting various requests, including honorariums, goods, services, and more. Given the complexity of different workflows, depending on the scenario, this guide is meant to help individuals navigate the processes and accurately submit requests. By following this information, you'll learn which processes must be completed and how to accurately submit these requests.

A sneak preview of the purchasing guide is below but we hope you use it to help you on future purchases!
