Please
use the following as a reference list for
preparing/processing MURC Contractual Agreements:
- Prepare a MURC Service Agreement form
- Obtain vendor’s signature on Service
Agreement.
- Prepare a Banner requisition (FPAREQN)
– don’t forget to write the R# on the service agreement
form
- Principal Investigator/Project
Director signs Service Agreement
- Send Service Agreement to MURC
- MURC will review the Service
Agreement and online Banner requisition upon receipt of
the paper documents
- If all documentation and online
requisition are acceptable, MURC will approve the Banner
requisition and forward a copy of service agreement to
MU Purchasing. (If there is a problem, MURC will either
disapprove the requisition document or contact the
department preparing the requisition).
- MU Purchasing approves the purchase
order
- MU Purchasing sends the PO and copy
of the requisition to the vendor
- Vendor invoices MURC for services
performed, referencing the Purchase Order number

certify that work has been done and payment is approved)

Note:
***Please consult the MURC Interim Purchasing Policy to
determine when a service agreement is necessary.
***The
Service Agreement and requisition must be completed before
the services are performed.
***MURC
cannot pay any item without an invoice and confirmation that
the goods/services have been received.
