*Important* If you have not verified your funding on this specific protocol please check that now. Click the “Funding Details” tab

Please not that the ONLY two formats that are acceptable are for funding numbers are: “5312345” <- Numbers only or “5312345a2c4e” <- Number only with a five alphanumeric subaccount Do not use “*” or “#” or “-” or “spaces” or any words. Failure to input the proper format for fund number may prevent billing in a timely manner or the wrong account to be billed. *Note: This is only important for an animal order if to be charged by LAR for a service, not for census only animals.*

Select the check box for the correct species to be ordered and then click “Create Requisition”.

Select the “RP” (Responsible Person; formerly known as “Contact Person”) from the dropdown menu and ensure that there is a phone number and e-mail address available. Click on the blue animal name to be taken to the “Requisitioned Species Details” screen.

After entering all the required and optional information, double check all fields and click the “OK” button.

Note: If you only see “submit for approval”, and do not see “submit to LAR”. You will need to have the Protocol PI request an amendment to RICRO to have your roll changed from “other personnel” to “other submitter” or something similar. Otherwise, the PI will need to approve the requisition and click “submit to ARC”.
