| If an item is
to be fabricated by a University department, the Equipment
Fabrication Form must be sent to Inventory Services explaining
what is being built, where it is located, which department
"owns" it, and what account number is being used to purchase
the components. When referencing a sponsored account the form
requires a certified approver's signature. Inventory
Services will then assign a U of M identification number to
it, and any invoices paid referencing the fabrication will
be added to that U of M identification number.

Routing of transactions
for purchases related to equipment fabrication will follow
the existing thresholds for the type of activity employed.
For example, any pieces exceeding $1,000 would route to a
certified approver. Any purchase for equipment fabrication
moved via an IX would route to a certified approver.
