Before starting your purchase
Before initiating or making a purchase, review the Purchasing and Payment Method Matrix, designed by Supply Chain Management to help determine the best payment method for different types of purchases.
It is your responsibility to be aware of what is allowable within policy. If you personally purchase something that is not allowable per policy, you will not be able to be reimbursed. If you have questions or need assistance, reach out to swdesk@berkeley.edu.
