Purchase transactions between University departments are accomplished through the use of the appropriate forms and processes, as identified below.

Each department that provides goods/services to other campus departments should establish policies/procedures for processing orders. To order from another University unit, ordering departments should use an Internal Service Order Form or Outlook Internal Order Form (see below for use and instructions) is now in the Outlook forms library, except where the goods/service provider has established its own order form/process.

The unit providing the goods/services will record the transaction in PeopleSoft, usually on an Internal Service Entry ( 2:190 ) or through a feeder system ( 2:140 ). For forms, see UM System Web site.

How to order printing:

• It is best to consult with a Customer Services Representative (CSR) at the beginning of your design process for the most cost-effective means to produce your printed piece and to maximize postal discounts.
• For budgeting purposes, you may Request An Estimate online if you know the specifics of your print order. If you have questions on terminology, paper stock, or any item on the form, contact a CSR at 882-7801.
• Once you have been given an estimate, be sure to note the estimate number when you are ready to place your order.
• There are four methods available to place a print order:
  1. The Printing Services Work Authorization (UM260) is a 3-part carbon form available through General Stores. This form allows for the signature of an authorized person in your department as protection from unauthorized print orders. Quantity should be listed numerically, not boxes or reams, and the MoCode and People Soft account number are required. Your job files may be submitted as explained under Submitting Digital Files, and a mockup of your design is helpful either in PDF form or as a laser-printed sample.
  2. An Online Work Authorization is available if you prefer. You may include the email address for an authorized fiscal person to receive an email confirmation of your order. If you already have an estimate number from us, your print specifications will be carried forward from the estimate. As with the work authorization form UM260, you will need to submit your digital files through web submission or on removable media described under Submitting Digital Files. Please send a mockup of your job which tells us page order, bleeds, and any additional layout information pertaining to the job.
  3. Reprints of a previously printed job may be ordered online if you have the previous job number. You must indicate whether it is a reprint as is or with changes. You may also send a work authorization (form UM260) along with a previous sample, marked with any changes you might have.
  4. Under the category Order Stationery on our website, you can order standard letterhead and envelopes, business cards, note cards, and blank paper online. Categories are included for the MU Campus, MU Health Care, Extension, and University of Missouri System .
