A requisition must be submitted to the Purchasing Department for prepayment of any order. Price support documentation must accompany the requisition of the exact price to be paid. Items typically requiring prepayment are: memberships and subscriptions; Superintendent of Documents brochures; and registration or entry fees.

Other types of prepayment requests not listed above may be constitutionally prohibited for Southeastern to pledge funds. Prepayments required by a supplier in most cases for goods or services will not be possible and budget unit should solicit purchase from a supplier willing to extend credit to the University by accepting a Southeastern purchase requisition or purchase order.

For recognized cases, THE REQUISITIONER MUST SIGN THE REQUISITION'S RECEIVING REPORT page to authorize prepayment of budget unit funds. Otherwise, the requisition will be delayed until the written authorization is obtained.
