• Prepare form in duplicate. Send original to Disbursements Processing, Skytop Office Building. Retain duplicate copy for your file.
• Use a typewriter or print legibly. Fill in unshaded areas including requisition date, requester's telephone extension, account number, complete delivery address, authorized signature, and date delivery is needed.
• Enter material required description in the proper sequence. Sample illustrations of sequence are shown on cover of requisition pad.
