3 Complete Business Forms and Approval Paperwork


Any purchases over $5,000 must be preapproved by UW purchasing or on an existing UW contract.

All purchases are tax exempt, please provide letter when requested, http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/taxempt.doc.

All food and t-shirts must be preapproved by SSFC Financial Specialist.

Air travel = Work through STA or on-line vendor. When airfare is $500 or more two quotes from a travel agency or an airline are required. Bring STA estimate to FS to sign and return signed copy to STA to issue ticket. If on-line vendor, forward web address, log-on, password, and saved trip information/id# to FS and it will be purchased via the web. All tickets are final so make sure that your travel details are correct. Air travel and other transportation can also be paid by adding it to an entertainment contract. Please attach a statement explaining the purpose of the travel.
Supplies = Can be purchased using an MDS number on-line or at the University Bookstore. MDS stands for Material Distribution Services and carries items from Corporate Express, Dell, Grainger and other suppliers, http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/mds/mds.html. Highly recommended. Other supplies can be purchased using requisitions. Whistles, custom pens, and condoms are examples of unusual supplies. When several orders will be placed throughout the year from a particular vendor a blanket order requisition is recommended.
Computer Hardware/Software Purchases = can be made by processing a specific requisition through DoIT, http://techstore.doit.wisc.edu/ or using your MDS account, http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/mds/mds.html at Dell on-line purchasing. Other on-line purchases can be made by sending the Financial Specialist the links and order information to be processed via procard.
Advertising = Blanket order requisitions are recommended for placing ads at the Badger Herald, Daily Cardinal, the Isthmus, and the Madison Times. Once the requisitions are processed you can place ads by giving the ad representative the purchase order number. Ads for Madison Newspapers, Incorporated (WSJ and Cap Times) are paid via direct purchase.
Entertainers/Performers/Speakers/Artists Fees = are paid via a University Entertainment Contract. The organization must fill in the details of the event on the contract and send to the performer/agent to complete and sign. The contract must be returned 8 business days before actual performance/event. A check will be issued by ASM and you will be notified to pick it up and give to the payee immediately following event. If you have certain requirements such as a song list please attach these to the contract. If you are sent a contract do not sign it! A University contract rider, http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/purch/forms.html#ride must be signed by the performer/agent and attached to the original contract. If you sign any contracts you will be personally liable. Contract riders are available on the forms website of UW Accounting Services.
Equipment Rental = We prefer that you set up blanket orders with vendors that use quite frequently like DoIT, A- Z rental or the Wisconsin Union.

Food and Lodging = You cannot provide food or lodging for events or travel that are social in nature. The UW categorizes allowable expenses by Events-Reception, Events-Meals, and Events – Refreshment Breaks, and Travel-Meals. Please complete appropriate form, attach agenda/itinerary, and invited participants. After the event submit actual participants sign-in sheet. Go to http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/acct/policy/meetcon/meetcon.html for the forms.

“The UW regards receptions as a gathering of individuals associated with a UW-sponsored event that provides the opportunity for interaction in a setting that is not purely social in nature. Unlike a business meeting, a reception may not have a specific agenda or time frame. Like a business meeting, the purpose must be related to or promote the mission of the hosting department. Expenses are not allowable for reception that are solely for social or entertainment purposes…”

Lodging (Madison) =
