Materiel Management: Mail Division

April 5, 2004 (Revised)

To our valued customers,

Effective January 1, 2004, the International Mail Manual was revised to reflect changes to customs forms for international and military mail. The revised forms include changes adopted by the Postal Operations Council and the World Customs Organization. The following forms were revised:

  • PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration CN 22 - Sender’s Declaration (Last revised June 1997)
  • PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note - CP 72 (Last revised November 1997)
  • PS Form 2976-E, Customs Declaration Envelope - CP 91. (Last revised November 1996)
The new customs forms (PS 2976, 2976-A, 2976-E) can be used immediately. The Mail Division has a limited supply of the new forms on hand with more on order. After June 5, 2004, customs forms dated prior to January 1, 2004 will no longer be accepted at Mail Division or at the US Post Office. If you have questions please contact Jim Downing or Denise Woolcott at (530) 752-0663.

Thank you,

Mail Division Staff

Re-designed Purchasing Classes for 2003-04

Purchasing and Accounting & Financial Services Client Services have designed 2 new classes to integrate policy and document practices. The new classes replace the Purchasing Workshop, formerly offered through Staff Development, and the DaFIS Purchasing class.

Purchasing 101: Departmental Purchasing Delegations: This class will cover purchases delegated at the department level and the use of departmental and campus-wide agreements. This course will also show how to complete the Departmental Purchase Order (DPO), Departmental Repair Order (DRO), Cancel/Close Departmental Purchase Order CDPO), and the Redistribute Purchasing Liens (RPL) documents.

Purchasing 102: Procurement through the Purchasing Department will cover purchases of equipment, services and high value supplies through the Purchasing department. The class will show how to complete the Purchase Requisition (PR) and Redistribute Purchasing Liens (RPL) documents, and will address the purchasing process, independent contractors, order-related special circumstances, order attachments, and requests for departmental blanket agreements.

Both classes will cover purchasing, departmental and user accountability, ethical obligations, helpful searches in Transaction Processing (TP) and Decision Support (DS), document printing, and online resources for Purchasing.

Purchasing 101 is a prerequisite of Purchasing 102. Enrollment is now available at http://dafis.ucdavis.edu/.




Central Storehouse Workshops:

This course covers how to place Storehouse orders using the on-line ordering system, check order status, Storehouse billing and more. Other Materiel Management services will also be covered, including Central Receiving, Bargain Barn, Supply Express, Special Services, General Rental Service and Engraving Services. Go to the Staff Development web site (http://sdps.ucdavis.edu/browse.htm) to sign up today!




On-line System for Central Storehouse Customers!

The web-based ordering system provides campus and Medical Center departments with a convenient way to order repetitively used products and services. All stock supplies, special orders and non-stock items can now be ordered on the web, including office products, furniture, janitorial and laboratory supplies, hardware, chemicals, compressed gas cylinders and more. The system will give you an opportunity to request new items to be added to stock and submit Special Services’ work order requests.

This ordering system is available through the MyUCDavis portal and through the Materiel Management website http://ucdmm2.ucdavis.edu/. Customer users need a UCD Login ID and Kerberos password.
