Requisition Pointers from LLCC Purchasing

The FY25 budget has been uploaded into Colleague. You may start entering purchase requisitions for FY25 at this time. LLCC Purchasing would ask you to be aware of a few pointers as you enter the requisitions:

  • When creating a requisition, please provide a concise description for the product or service you are purchasing. Please do not use product ID numbers. The description should allow any user to understand what is being requested.
  • If a purchase is tied to an approved FY25 planning initiative, please provide the Project ID # in the comments field.
  • If a purchase is tied to an approved FY25 planning initiative, you are still required to follow the proper purchasing guidelines, which may include bids and Board action. Please reach out to Purchasing if you have any questions.
  • For any single item equipment purchased in excess of $500, please specify the location of the asset in the comments field. This will help with tagging the item.
  • Please allow 2-3 business days for requisitions to be approved and for your blankets to be established.

FY25 planning and budgeting recap documents will be posted to the LLCC Finance Department’s SharePoint site later this week. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the documents, which are sorted by requester’s name. Also watch for emails over the next few weeks if you have been allocated funding from tech fee, small projects and/or FFE. We will be reaching out to individuals to begin the purchasing process and will provide purchasing directions and necessary account numbers.
