BYU Purchasing Fast Track

Fast Track Information

Fast Track purchases are for certain categories as designated by Purchasing. Fast Track Requisitions act as both a Check Requisition and an Independent Contractor Check Requisition.

Fast Track purchases are done by approved Associate Buyers who have completed a training class and returned an Associate Buyer application. Purchasing encourages all campus departments to learn the Fast Track Payment Process and for department representatives to become Associate Buyers.

News & Tips

Most of our buyers are CPM certified. CPM stands for "Certified Purchasing Manager".

If your proposed transaction is not listed, it will not be approved as a Fast Track purchase. Use one of the following options:

If the total cost is within your Purchasing Card Spending Limits and your transaction does not involve hazardous materials
or hiring an Independent Contractor, use a P-Card.
If the Payee does not accept Visa, use a Convenience Check if allowed by the Convenience Checks Policy.
If the transaction is a travel-related expense or general reimbursement, it may be paid through Extensity.
If none of the above applies, the purchase must be arranged by Purchasing. Submit a Purchase Requisition.
