Supplies and Equipment, How to Procure and Pay

Payment method

Use 49er Mart to purchase supplies and equipment.

Rationale and Other Considerations

Orders are processed online through a web browser depending on the type of supplier used. Begin by choosing a supplier, then select items you want to purchase and place them in your virtual shopping cart. After you have finished shopping, your cart proceeds to the checkout. At this point, a requisition draft will be created, and you will need to enter the appropriate accounting codes, such as fund and account codes, to be used by your department for the order.

When you place the order, the workflow process will begin, and an email notification will be sent to the approvers notifying them of pending order. The level of approvals required depends on the dollar amount and the type of purchase. Once the final approval is granted, a purchase order (PO) is generated.

To receive the order, you must log in to 49er Mart. Receiving initiates payment to the vendor.

Note: When purchasing used equipment, please refer to the Materials Management Purchasing Manual (link below) for additional guidance.
