Central Receiving and Distribution

Starting Jan. 18, 2023, Materials Management will provide central processing and delivery for all packages shipped to the Tempe campus. Materials Management currently provides central receiving and distribution services for packages shipped to the Polytechnic campus.

Please follow the instructions below when ordering and receiving packages based on your home campus.

All Tempe campus business-related small package deliveries from Amazon, FedEx, UPS and other carriers will need to be delivered to Central Receiving for distribution by Materials Management to campus delivery centers as indicated on the shipping labels. For simplification, the delivery center code will coincide with current mail code locations.

The process to choose a ShipTo Address and Building/Room# when creating requisitions in FMS Workday is changing to support the new receiving and delivery process.   

When submitting a change order against a PO that contains a small package, update the Ship-To Address to ALMDBR and update the inactive Building/Room No to the new DC+mail code value. Please email SunRISE if you are unable to submit a change order. 

Note: This new process does not affect chemical-related requisitions.

Requisition process

Departments must do the following when creating requisitions in Workday for small package deliveries to the Tempe campus:

1. Select the Tempe Central Receiving address as the Ship-To address. For accurate results, search using the building abbreviation code ALMDBR:

734 W ALAMEDA DR

ALAMEDA RECEIVING (ALMDBR) TEMPE,

AZ 85282 United States of America

2. Enter their department’s delivery center code — DC + delivery code — in the Building/Room No field. For example: DC3608_ALMDB.
3. Submit the requisition for processing. Central Receiving staff will then deliver the packages to the delivery code, as indicated on the address label.

Services 

When a supplier will be on-site at an ASU location to provide the service, enter a note in the Memo to Suppliers field providing the address where the service will be performed. Example: All services to be performed at the following location: 

ASU

1551 S. Rural Road

University Services Building/Room 2155B

When placing orders using an ASU Purchasing Card for delivery to the Tempe campus, purchasers must address their shipment as follows:

• Name.
• Department name and delivery code.
• Arizona State University.
• 734 W Alameda Drive
  Tempe AZ 85282

Note: Larger palletized items may continue to be shipped to pre-approved campus loading docks. If the Ship-To Address for your loading dock remains available in FMS after Jan. 18, 2022, it has been pre-approved for larger palletized deliveries.

For new delivery center codes, submit a Delivery Code Request form. 

All Polytechnic campus business-related small package deliveries from Amazon, FedEx, UPS and other carriers will need to be delivered to Central Receiving for distribution by Materials Management to campus delivery centers as indicated on the shipping labels. For simplification, the delivery code will coincide with current mail code locations.

Large palletized shipments or oversized items may continue to be shipped to pre-approved campus loading docks.

With moving to the centralized receiving model, all previous requisition Building/Room No field values for Polytechnic have been removed, and new delivery center values have been added.

Requisition process

When placing orders in FMS Workday for delivery to the Polytechnic campus, departments will need to:

• Select the Polytechnic Central Receiving address as the Default Ship-To Address on the requisition: 7004-9 E Union Ave, Mesa AZ 85212. To ensure correct address selection, search using the Building Abbreviation Code of RECVG and select the address that exactly matches this:

7004-9 E Union Ave

RECEIVING (RECVG) MESA, AZ

85212 United States of America

• Enter the delivery center code (departmental mail code) in the accounting worktag Building/Room No field.

  • Submit a Delivery Code Request form for new delivery codes.
