Office Equipment Request

Office equipment requests submitted through email or verbal conversations give procurement and facilities teams an inconsistent record of what is needed, for whom, when it is needed, and whether the request has been approved. Current equipment condition and serial numbers are not captured, making it difficult to assess whether the request is for new equipment or a replacement. Delivery instructions arrive separately. Budget codes are unstated until procurement asks. Without a structured intake process, managing equipment requests efficiently and accurately requires more coordination than it should.

The Office Equipment Request template for SharePoint, built with Infowise Ultimate Forms, provides a structured request form that captures the employee's details, an itemized list of requested equipment, current equipment details for replacement requests, preferred delivery date and address, delivery instructions, manager approval with comments, and the budget code for the purchase. Every request is stored as a complete, actionable record in SharePoint.

How it works

Employee details

The form captures the requesting employee's name, department, job title, manager's name, phone number, and email address. Capturing the manager's name at the point of submission ensures the procurement or facilities team knows who to route the approval to without additional follow-up, and gives the manager's approval section the correct context when the record is reviewed.

Equipment list and additional requirements

Requested equipment is entered as individual line items, allowing the employee to specify multiple items within a single request without submitting separate forms. An additional comments and requirements field gives the employee the space to provide context or specifications not captured within the line items themselves.

Current equipment details

For replacement requests, the form captures the current equipment model, its condition, and the serial number. Capturing these details at the point of request gives the procurement team the information needed to assess whether the request meets the organization's replacement criteria and to process the return or disposal of the existing asset alongside the new equipment order.

Delivery preferences

The form captures the employee's preferred delivery date and delivery address alongside a free-form field for any special delivery instructions. Capturing delivery details within the request record ensures that the procurement and facilities teams have everything needed to fulfill the order without a separate coordination step.

Manager approval and budget code

A manager approval section captures the approval decision and any comments the manager wants to add. A budget code field captures the cost center or account code to which the purchase should be attributed. Capturing both within the request record gives the finance and procurement teams the authorization and coding information needed to process the order without additional follow-up.
