Different Types of Purchases
General Purchases
A General Purchase is an expenditure made by a club for something relatively common, such as equipment (balls, nets, etc.) or maintenance/repairs.  These purchases are made with off-campus vendors using a club’s allocated money.  In order to begin the process of making a General Purchase, a General Purchase Form must be filled out.  The SCP does not pay for the purchase of personal equipment, such as pads, sticks, shoes, skates, etc.
Unique Purchases
A unique purchase is an expenditure made by a club for something not purchased very often.  Such expenditures include annual membership fees or facility rentals for hosting events.   In order to begin the process of making a Unique Purchase, a Unique Purchase Form must be filled out.

What Happens After I Turn in the Necessary Paperwork to the Sport Club Office?
General Purchase
After the required, and properly completed, paperwork is turned into the Sport Club Office, the administrative process of ordering can begin.  Using the turned in paperwork, the Assistant Director of Sport Clubs will place a purchase order request using the OMNI System.  The purchase must then be approved by the Director of Campus Recreation.  Once that process has been completed, the FSU Purchasing Department will dispatch a purchase order to the vendor for the items requested.  This purchase order serves as a commitment for payment from the university.
Once the purchase order has been received by the vendor, the order should be fulfilled and shipped to the Sport Club Office.  When the ordered items have been received in the Sport Club Office, and an invoice has been received, the vendor can be paid.  The invoice will be documented and sent over to FSU Purchasing (Accounts Payable), at which time they will send payment to the vendor.
Unique Purchase
After the required and properly completed paperwork is turned into the Sport Club Office, the Assistant Director of Sport Clubs will begin the administrative process involved with making a unique purchase.  Additional forms need to be filled out by the Assistant Director of Sport Clubs, and approved by other Campus Recreation staff members.  Once this process has been completed, all the paperwork can be sent over to Purchasing to complete the order.
