Purchasing managers

Review needed: the budget figures and purchasing-manager list below are explicitly dated 2023. Their current validity has not been confirmed. Confirm the current budget, responsibilities, and approval process with the board before relying on these dated details.

A few members are purchasing managers for specific parts of the workshop. During the financial year each one has a budget and handles the purchases for their area. The budget has two parts: running costs, and investment in new tools and machines.

Larger investments (over 2,000 SEK) are opened for discussion on Slack first, so other members can give feedback. Members who want a say in investments should follow those discussions.

Responsibilities

  • Pay primarily through personal outlay (see Expense claims), secondarily by invoice after contacting the treasurer.

  • Stay within the budget.

  • Give the treasurer valid receipts for all purchases.

  • Propose investments over 2,000 SEK in the room's Slack channel at least 72 hours before buying.

  • For larger investments, request extra money from the board by emailing info@makerspace.se.

Budget (2023)

  • 15,000 SEK per quarter, as long as the association's finances allow.

  • Unused budget does not carry over to the next quarter.
