2. Enter the number in the Invoice Number field
3. Once you see your voucher, select the View PO/Receiver link to see your PO charges for that invoice line’s expenditure

Please note: Each invoice line may represent a different Purchase Order or different lines within the same Purchase Order.

For sustainability and to limit mold growth, UF keeps most rooms between 72° and 76° F. (if your office is within this range, we cannot raise or lower the temperature unless you have a documented health condition). The exceptions to this rule are laboratories and computer server farms with special requirements.

The current national standard for office lighting is 50 foot-candles of light intensity for office work. Facilities Services can provide a lighting evaluation for your office if it seems abnormally bright or dark.

UF’s vehicle database can be explored through the Vehicle Search link on the Motor Pool webpage.

Receipts are made available soon after our services are provided. Fuel receipts are available on site (hand-written at the time of pumping fuel). Parts are purchased directly using your vehicle number.

UF’s State Vehicle Inspection Program ensures that State vehicles are adequately maintained and operate safely. This annual inspection is mandatory.

Paper requires protection from the elements, so we rely primarily on interior collection bins for paper, supplemented by over 100 covered, specially-marked, outdoor paper (and cardboard) recycling collection points across campus.

UF has over 800 paper recycling drop-off bins inside academic, administrative and research buildings, with 60 additional bins in the Health Science Center and Shands. There is one exterior newspaper bin at Turlington Plaza, under the shelter of Turlington’s covered walkway.

An environmentally friendly choice is to reduce consumption to begin. Buy only what you really need, avoid excessive packaging and buy items that are durable, reusable and repairable.

Reusing, selling and donating useful things you no longer need is also not only friendly to the environment but to people in need. Buying recyclable products can also be a good thing, but don’t fool yourself, recycling consumes resources also. Not everything that is theoretically recyclable is practical to recycle in all situations.
