Property Transfer Process

Property Transfer Form

1. Campus departments send Property Control n Financial Operations 2 copies of their completed Transfer of Property forms.
2. Property Control initials each copy and forwards 1 initialed copy to the Physical Plant Warehouse.
3. The Physical Plant Warehouse schedules a time to pick up the items on the Transfer of Property form.
4. Departments can contact James Sublett, Physical Plant Warehouse Supervisor at extension 7938 or by email to learn when their equipment pickup is scheduled.
5. Property Control records the date they receive the Transfer of Property form.
6. Departments can contact Larry Franklin at 5877 or by email to see if Property Control received your transfer form, or to know when the form was sent to the Physical Plant Warehouse.

A University department may pay for goods and services received from another department using the Inter-Organizational Transfer Document (IOTD), which transfers funds from one FOAP to another. The department purchasing the goods or services should initiate the transfer process by completing the IOTD form and sending a hard copy to Accounts Payable. As with any purchase, funds must be available in the applicable FOAP.

A University department may request payment to an outside vendor using the Invoice Control Document (ICD) form.  Completed forms are sent to Financial Operations for review and processing.  For specific purchasing and procurement guidelines contact the Office of Purchasing.

For partial payments on purchase orders only, route all paper ICDs to Financial Operations, Jardine Hall Room 201, Campus Box 38.  Accounts Payable will ensure the document is routed for additional approvals, if needed.

Accounts Payable is responsible for administering the Business Procurement Card Program in accordance with WSU and State of Kansas policies.

Wichita State is continuing its efforts to become compliant with the Payment Card Industry Standards. This compliance regulates how we structure security and processes around accepting and processing payment cards (credit and/or debit cards).

Part of this compliance is ensuring that any contract with a vendor that accepts payment cards on behalf of WSU, or gives WSU any portion of the money it has collected, has specific language in it identifying the vendor's compliance responsibilities.

• If you think a contract may have something to do with accepting payment cards, it must be sent to Lois Tatro, Senior Associate Vice President for Financial Services, for review.
• This change in procedure has been reviewed and approved by the General Counsel’s office
• Review this additional contract language that will be added when payment cards/PCI is involved.  Third-Party Service Provider Agreement

Form W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and Certification is the standard form published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) used by payers to request FEIN information. A person, company, or agency making payment to Wichita State University, and who is required to file an information return with the IRS, must obtain the University's FEIN in order to do so. In general, requests for WSU's Taxpayer Identification Number are made by payers in order for them to properly report information in connection with miscellaneous payments made to the University (class tuition, services, interest, dividends, rents, royalties, etc.).

When a department receives a request for the University’s FEIN for sales of services or goods to an outside entity, departments can obtain an authorized Wichita State University W-9 form that can be furnished directly to the requester. Student organizations are not permitted to use the University FEIN. Please ensure that you use this information responsibly.  The form is located on Finance Services - Forms page under Accounts Receivable.

A list of Funding and Expenditure Terms and Definitions. List is present in a drop-down toward the botttom of the page.
