Purpose
This form is used to request changes to account and/or object codes
related to:
Limited Purchase Orders (LPOs) issued through CAPPS,
Purchase Orders (POs) issued through CAPPS, or
Encumbrances recorded in FAS.
Background
All change requests must be made by using the referenced form and
include:
Justification for the change,
An approval by the department head, and
SEPARATE CHANGE REQUEST FOR EACH LPO OR PO.
Changes to CAPPS LPO/PO are subject to the following restrictions:
The changes must occur within the SAME source of funds:
Local accounts (Ledgers 4, 6, 8)
University (Ledgers 1, 3, 5, 7)
Hospital (Ledger 2)
Changes BETWEEN different sources of funds are allowed only
after the invoice has been paid and recorded in FAS. At that
time, the department may process an Interdepartmental Transfer
Invoice (IDT) to change the source of funds. See Procedure
6-18, "Preparation of Interdepartmental Transfer Invoices."
Change requests CANNOT increase or decrease the GROSS amount
of an active CAPPS LPO or PO. Any changes that require an
increase or decrease to an LPO/PO must be submitted directly
to Purchasing and Materials Services in a memo with a copy of
the LPO/PO attached.
Non-CAPPS Change Requests
This form may be used to CHANGE A NON-CAPPS FAS ENCUMBRANCE. In
these situations, changes between different sources of funds are
permissible, provided the department head has approved the changes.
A copy of the purchase order must be attached to the request for
changes that increase an encumbrance.
