How To Return Purchases To An External Vendor
- Contact the vendor from which the item was purchased to obtain authorization
to return the material/equipment. Departments are responsible for
packaging the items and arranging shipment with the vendor or shipper
directly.
- Notify purchasing services of any change to the purchase order so
that purchasing may issue a change order. (See "How
to Complete a Change Order").
- When returning materials and/or equipment to a vendor with a replacement
value of $50,000 or more, a Return
Materials Authorization Form must be provided to Risk
Management. Materials and equipment valued under $50,000 are insured
automatically.
- If necessary, notify Property
Control of any changes in inventory status due to returns or exchanges
of items which cost more than $5,000.00.
For general questions regarding returns, contact Purchasing
Services. For questions regarding insurance coverage, contact Risk
Management. For questions regarding inventory status, contact Property
Control.
