Computer Systems/Devices Online Ordering Process:

The order/delivery process for the purchase of computer systems/devices is changing in order to implement new DIT inventory procedures and expedite the installation of the new systems. This applies to Dell (all model lines of desktops, laptops, and tablets) and Apple (Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook, mac mini, iPad and iPod) products. All computer system/device purchases require submission of Request to Purchase Computer Hardware form (CAQ:01:R4) regardless of price. These are the new procedures that should be followed. Please contact Paula Smith for assistance if needed. (Information Technology ext. 5059 or pgriffit@jsu.edu.)

  1. All orders must begin with an official quote provided by DIT. To request an official quote, you must submit a CSR with product specifications and quantities. All CSR’s for quote requests are assigned to Paula Smith. Paula will email official quotes to requestor.
  2. Use the information provided in your official quote to enter your requisition online and have your supervisor approve. Product information entered in requisition must match the information in the quote, i.e. quantity, quote number, description and cost. Vendor numbers are listed below.
  3. Submit approved requisition to Purchasing.
  4. Complete the Request to Purchase Form and have it signed by the appropriate supervisor/budget manager. Forward completed form with attached quote to the Computer Center for approval by DIT. Once approved, DIT will forward form to Purchasing Office and purchase order will be generated.
  5. The vendor copy of the purchase order will be forwarded to Paula Smith in Information Technology. DIT will place the order online. The requestor will receive an order confirmation email from Paula.
  6. When the department gets the receiving copy of the purchase order a CSR should be entered for a new system setup. The CSR must contain the following in the justification section: PO number, budget number, location information such as user name/building/room number. For computers and laptops you must also include a complete list all requested software products to be installed on new system. Examples of DIT site license products are listed below. Any other commercial (i.e. purchased) software packages needed must be provided by the department - open source packages such as Firefox, Acrobat Reader, Java, etc. will still be downloaded and installed if needed.*
  7. Products will be shipped to the Self Hall Imaging Lab for inventory tracking and software installation. Paula will send an email letting the requestor know the order has been received at Self Hall. This email will also have the electronic invoice attached. This invoice should be printed and attached to the receiving copy of the purchase order when forwarded to Accounts Payable. A time will be scheduled for delivery and final installation at user location specified in CSR.

Purchases for peripheral items (scanners, printers, etc) or other hardware products must be processed on separate purchase orders following standard procedures.

*In order to prevent installation delays, CSR’s MUST contain required information.
CSR’s submitted without the required information will be rejected and sent back to the department.
