Purchase Requests

This will walk you through three-ways to make purchases: UT Market, Purchase Order, and Procard.

UT Market

This is primarily used for making office supply purchases from Today's Business Solutions (Office Depot/Max) and Complete Book. UT has contracts with these vendors, so it is bested to look here first! If you do not see what you need, put in a Purchase Order (PO).
