New Services Order Procedure: Ø Once you have received a quote for product, enter the order on line in the FIS system as a Purchase Order. Ø Purchase Order MUST match the quoted dollar amount & reference the quote number. Ø Ship to Address must clearly state the bldg & room # where furniture will be installed. Not the loading dock. Otherwise additional labor charges may be incurred due to incorrect address or down time trying to locate you. Ø Department will assume responsibility for confirming accuracy of quote with the vendor before placing order, oversee delivery and installation and report problems to the dealer. Ø All orders are final and not subject to cancellation after the PO is placed with the dealership. Ø Furniture is not returnable unless the vendor has made an error. They will replace with correct product or offer other solutions for consideration. Ø Fax a copy of the quote to F&D [935-4466] with the PO Document # referenced. PO’s will not be approved until quotes are received.
