Procurement and Disbursement Services use a system of departmental routing codes (DRC's) for dispatching purchase orders and invoice correspondence to departments; Federal Express also uses these codes for deliveries. By using this system, several advantages accrue:

• merchandise may be sent to one location and correspondence to another (this is particularly useful for large departments);
• one person can easily be designated to receive all purchasing-related documents;
• addressing can be updated on many documents with one operation.

When the address associated with your DRC changes, please send notification to Procurement at:

DRC Codes
VU Station B #357000

If your department does not yet have a code, please print and complete the
Departmental Routing Code Request Form and return it to Procurement at the address shown on the form.

The routing code should be placed in the upper right hand corner of your purchase requisition or in the upper middle area of a Small Purchase Order; it should also be used when ordering using the Administrative Forms Requisition MC 0307 (formerly 60-002-490). To be effective, the code must appear on every order created by the department.

Please educate your staff as to the benefits and importance of the departmental code system. It can be a powerful tool in maintaining a clean and accurate incoming mail stream for your department.
