Information Needed for Purchase Approval

In order for the Associate Vice President of Information Technology to approve technology based purchase requests certain items must be attached to the purchase requisition. For example, a pull-down from the vendor's website will be sufficient in most cases. These items are necessary in making decisions for technology purchases and help us to speed up the processing of requests that must be approved by Information Technology. If a computer is being purchased, the following information would be helpful:
