List of Tax Exempt States<\/a><\/p>\n

1. PURCHASE ORDERS (PO)<\/h4>\n

You must find out if the company you want to purchase items from will accept University of Maine Purchase Orders<\/a>. If they will, you must find out if they have received a Purchase Order in the past three (3) years, if not you must collect a completed W-9 form<\/a> and you must work with Katherine to request that the company be set up as a University of Maine System vendor. This could take 3-5 days to process so please plan accordingly.\u00a0 See sample email below.<\/p>\n

\n

Dear Sir or Madam,<\/p>\n

In order for us to process purchase orders and payments to you or your company we must create a supplier record in our purchasing system. Please complete our online supplier request form at http:\/\/www.maine.edu\/UMSVENDOR<\/a>. Please note, this address is case sensitive.<\/p>\n

We will also require you to submit a W-9 or W-8 form to umsvendor@maine.edu. Please see the instructions in the online form.<\/p>\n

If you have questions regarding this request please feel free to contact Adam Corrigan \u2013 adam.corrigan@maine.edu<\/a> \/ 207.581.2674.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your attention to this request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Upon receipt of the merchandise, the packing slip should be compared with goods received and the packing slip forwarded to Katherine for further processing. If there is no packing slip, you must still let Katherine know you received the package or the vendor will not get paid. A quick email or a note on scratch paper will suffice.<\/p>\n

If you are purchasing a service from an individual or company, please work directly with Katherine on setting up a contract with the vendor.\u00a0 It is still your responsibility to contact the company and find out if they will accept a University of Maine Purchase Order; however, only the Procurement Services Office can sign contracts on behalf of the University.<\/p>\n

2. CREDIT CARD ORDERS<\/h4>\n

Orders will only be made on a website that has secure online ordering and the credit card holder may decline to order if the website looks suspicious or has a very \u201cunprofessional\u201d name.<\/p>\n

All orders requesting use of a credit card must be approved by Katherine\u2019s supervisor \u2013 Rena Carey \u2013 in writing. Feel free to put request forms signed by the supervisor directly in Rena\u2019s mailbox for a signature.<\/p>\n

Upon receipt of the merchandise, the packing slip should be compared with goods received and the packing slip forwarded to Katherine for further processing. If there is no packing slip, you must still let Katherine know you received the package or the vendor will not get paid. A quick email or a note on scratch paper will suffice.<\/p>\n

3. INTERDEPARTMENTAL ORDER (IDO)<\/h4>\n

An IDO is used for purchasing supplies, equipment, or for paying certain fees on campus \u2013 software and computer supplies from Computer Connections, dry ice from Chemistry Department, pay Cutler Health for cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)\/First Aid training, printing to the plotter, etc. Please include item numbers or part numbers if needed. Make sure a receipt is issued and returned to Katherine Goodine.<\/p>\n

4. PETTY CASH\/CHECK REQUEST<\/h4>\n

This is for emergency purposes only and is used to reimburse you for supplies or equipment you purchased with your own money and your supervisor agreed to reimburse you. You should make every effort to pursue the PO or credit card option to make the purchase. Receipts must accompany this request. The University will not reimburse for sales tax.<\/p>\n

All non-travel reimbursements will need to be submitted through the Concur travel reimbursement system as a non-travel related reimbursement and you must upload copies of all receipts. Directions can be found here<\/a> – the last bulleted item in the How to Guides. Please get the full chartfield combination from your supervisor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
