How To Pay For Services

As Facilities Management will only charge amounts less than $100 directly to a CUFS account for departmental charges, we require either a Blanket Purchase Requisition (blanket PR) number or a Purchase Requisition (PR) requesting a specific service above $100.

Blanket Purchase Requisition

A blanket purchase requisition (PR) is used to set aside a specific amount of money (decided by the department) to be used for Facilities Management services throughout any single fiscal year. As this is an internal order, it must be prepared on a paper PR form.The object 5610 (Facilities Management services) must be open on the CUFS account you reference on your order.

• A blanket purchase requisition may be set up at any time, although we suggest arranging for a blanket at the beginning of each fiscal year.
• The blanket PR will be encumbered by Facilities Management upon receipt (you will only be charged for the actual work performed at your department's request - see Billing Information for further details).
• Your department's 3-letter prefix and the letters "PR" will be replaced with "PPEBK" or "PPCBK." This prefix combined with the preprinted number on the PR form gives you your blanket PR number. For example, a PR numbered "BUDPR12345" from the Budget Department will become PPEBK12345.

Once a blanket PR is on file with Facilities Management, whenever your department requires our services (such as rekeying locks, moving furniture, etc.), you can call or write Facilities Management and provide us with your blanket PR number and the service that you are requesting. Please understand that unless the requesting person provides us with the blanket PR number, we do not know whether that person actually has the authority to do so.
