Purchasing goods and services

Where expenditure needs to be incurred before the funds for the award are received, the principal investigator must nominate a departmental cost centre to underwrite subsequent expenditure until funding has been received from the sponsor.

Once you have received your award letter and the award has been set up on uBASE you are able to start incurring expenditure on your account.

• Start appointing staff

• Order goods and services

• Order goods via a Purchasing Card

• Order goods via internal trade

• Claim travel and subsistance

• Organise a cash advance

• Purchase equipment

 

To order any goods and services, you will need to code your order correctly to the WBS code. The WBS codes for research grants start with an R, e.g. R/123456-11-1.
