When to use a Disbursement Request vs setting up a Purchase Order
Disbursement Requests will be accepted for items purchased that fall within one of the categories on the list below. We are following the best practice that a Purchase Order
be created for other purchases, and the funds will then be encumbered prior to payment.
In order to emphasize the importance of encumbering funds, any invoice sent to the District Office without a PO will be sent back to the Chabot Administrative Services Business
Office requesting that a requisition be created. Since this will delay payment, it is important to create the requisition first, plus attaching any other documents needed.
There are only a very few instances in which a direct pay invoice is appropriate. This list is not exclusive, and items may be either be added or deleted moving forward as we
continue to refine our process
- P-card statements from US Bank
- Utilities
- Reimbursements on travel expense reports
- Advances
- Employee reimbursements (when authorized)
- Memberships (when authorized)
- Magazine subscriptions
- Conference Registration
- AmazonBusiness
- Staples
Detailed instructions for the Requisition process can be found in the Administrative Services Guide, under
Purchasing & Warehouse Services. Also, please see Accounts Payable for other pertinent information.
Thank you for working with this process as we move towards implementing clear, consistent, and best practices. Please forward to those newly hired in your area that may need this information.
Best,
Carla Walter, PhD, MBA
Vice President, Administrative Services
