Minimum Processing Lead Times for Purchase, Travel, and GA Requests

These are the lead times to get your REQ, or GA form, to the finance office: If it must first route through your area head, please allow additional time for their review. If timelines and procedures are not followed, there is a risk of UT being unable to pay your guest artist or vendor. Please do not ask vendors (incl guest artists) to begin work/service: Only an official UT Purchase Order (PO) document, or fully-approved Workday Job Assignment, can authorize service to begin, or goods to ship. (Note, the REQ system will email you that your REQ has been “finalized” once our office begins the creation of the PO; however, that does not mean the PO has been final-approved by UT yet.) The TAD finance office will communicate the PO or Job approval to the vendor. Faculty and Staff are not authorized to obligate UT.
