KPC Purchasing Process
All purchases with NO exceptions must be approved in advance. Purchases made prior
to receiving approval are unauthorized and may become the financial responsibility
of the individual who made the purchase.
A NEXTGEN Purchase Requisition (PR) Form must be completed, submitted and approved as authorization to purchase.
The PR is a web based NextGen form that automatically routes to the proper departments
for review and signature based on the parameters that are selected by the requestor
on the form. The PR can be used for ProCard purchases, Purchase Order requests and
Direct Pay requests. Quotes and other supporting documentation can be uploaded to
the form to aid processing.
