Interdepartmental Order (ID)

The following information relates specifically to the College of Law and is to be used as guidance specifically for College of Law employees. These guidelines are subject to change as SU Procedures and Policies change.

Used for internal payment between departments.
The ID will need to be assigned a unique number (this number will replace # 000000 on the form and in the file name).
You may use a number from a unused paper ID if you have a booklet (please discard the paper ID once used so that the number does not get used again). Or you may email the budget office to request a number.
Make sure to fill in all sections as you would on the paper form which includes the charge dept, chartstring including the total amount to credit, credit dept name, requesting department contact information, and a complete business purpose.
Suggested file naming convention example “ID123456 Campus Catering INV 1234 $100” (this is the ID number, dept name, invoice #, total invoice amount)
Once complete, merge the ID.pdf with the Estimate/Receipt.pdf and any other supporting information (email converted to pdf, approvals, etc) and email the completed packet to the budget office at lawbudget@syr.edu.
- For guidance on merging document into one pdf, see Adobe Acrobat and Working with PDF files.
At that point the budget office will review and obtain the appropriate authorized signatures.
Since IDs are internal payments made between departments, the budget office will return the approved ID to you to send to your contact.
- If you would like the budget office to send it to directly to your contact, please clearly provide their contact information in your email submission.
