If you need additional cards for your Tier I board, you can order them by putting in a manual requisition for Supplies in the EFP CLIENT.  The requisition should go in under the GNS ID: OFFICE SUPPLIES  You will want to make sure you enter all the details in the description and the internal comments so that your order processes smoothly.

  • Remember, Office Supplies keys off a quantity at a specific price.
  • Follow the instructions below to process your requisition.
