Step 1: Complete an Entertainment Purchase Order Form
To ensure compliance with Approval Documentation Required for All BearBUY Carts, America 2 Go orders must have an attached Entertainment Purchase Order (EPO) form with the proper approval signature PRIOR to placing an order in BearBUY.
-
Attach an Entertainment Purchase Order Form and Guest List.
When you attach a purchase request form to a BearBUY cart, you DO NOT need to assign a cart, as approval is included in the admin form.
Reminders
Each approval must include a clear business purpose, funding source, and supervisor’s approval explaining how the expense supports university activities, including:
-
Event or workshop name
-
Goal or intended outcome
-
Connection to the program’s mission or operations
-
Who, What, Where, When, and Why of the expense
