Quote Requirements
In an effort to expedite the shopping process, quotes will only be required for purchases over $1,000. However, we still highly encourage the use of quotes in all purchases, as use of these best practices will lessen the potential for price discrepancies and minimize blockage in invoice payment.
As a reminder, there are one-page Quick Reference Guides and an FAQ document on various processes and topics available on our website. These can answer many questions you may have for Supply Chain. They are located on the Shopper Help page.
