Communication Two Ways
Examples of APS to Customer Advisory Group:
OTIS must review and approve all computers, software, hardware, PDAs, and printers prior to a department purchasing these items.Do not use state funds to pay an organization for membership dues, or as reimbursement to an employee for payment of membership dues, until your staff confirms that the organization is not one that pays all or part of the salary of a person registered as a lobbyist.Itemized receipts are required for out of pocket business expense forms.Vicky Hernandez, Accounting Assistant, last day is Friday, February 6th.Transfers of state funds to state funds in another agency need to be handled through a special process at U. T. Austin. Please notify APS if you have this type of transaction.Office Depot has a glitch in the ordering system. If status says “Virtual Warehouse”, delete it and use another vendor.
Communication Two Ways
Examples of Customer Advisory Group to APS:
Could we have a department contact in APS?Is there a way my department can prepare their own POs?There is an urgent payment/purchase that needs to be paid…how can we make it happen?Our department needs a Procard and the limit needs to be above the $2,000 automatic limit. How do we obtain one?A payment to a vendor was held at U. T. Austin…why?Do we need to go out for bids on this purchase?Our department needs to submit an RFP how do we do this?Why do we need to hold onto documentation for Procard transactions for eight years when APS has the information and it is available on FileNet?Delegation of signature authority on our departmental accounts need to be changed what do we need to provide APS?
