America 2 Go

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.

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
