Change Orders

What is a Change Order?

A Change Order is a process used to make changes to an outstanding Purchase Order.

How are Change Orders initiated?

For ePro@ccu orders, create a Change Request Comment indicating the changes requested.  Please include the Procurement Specialist as the email recipient.

Who is authorized to approve Change Orders?

Is a Change Order required in all situations involving a change?

No. Accounts Payable is authorized to exercise their judgment and pay increases up to 10 percent without contacting a procurement specialist for approval, with the following exceptions:

  1. When the purchase order total for these goods plus freight exceeds $2,500;
  2. State contract orders.
  3. All increases in quantity.
What if I need to request a price increase of 10 percent or more?

Accounts Payable will email the procurement specialist who approved the original Purchase Order.
