OMB Uniform Guidance Capital Equipment Purchases
Rochester Institute of Technology
- Effective 12/26/14
RIT – For Internal Use Only
Under the Uniform Guidance, all Capital Equipment purchases made with federal funds require the “Purpose and Use” of the
equipment to be maintained in the University’s property records. A new, required field has been added in the Oracle
purchase requisitions called “Justification (Req’d for Fed Use)”.
The primary field for reporting Purpose & Use is the “Justification” field on the Details tab of the requisition line. This field
allows for 800 characters and should be sufficient to enter information related to all capital equipment purchased on federal
awards and associated cost shares. Users can enter the information as they are tabbing through the requisition fields.

each account. Any information entered into this field will be concatenated to the Justification entered at the Line level above
to create a ‘complete’ Purpose & Use statement. This field is not required.
