80. Excessive Materials Ordered Charges 90% of the value of materials ordered minus value of materials used Be careful ordering! Do not over-order Large print and braille materials are very expensive No excessive order charges for EAP Essay test books ETS will invoice approximately December 2011 2011 STAR Order Management || Slide 80 October 2010

81. Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Value of materials ordered ($x) Does not include overages Order quantities will be adjusted based on number of Pre-ID records Value of materials used ($y) If (x-y) 10%(x) then no charges will apply If (x-y) > 10%(x) then charges will apply 2011 STAR Order Management || Slide 81 October 2010

82. Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Example 1 Value of materials ordered = $5,000 Value of materials used = $4,600 Difference between ordered and used = $400 10% of materials ordered = $500 Difference ($400) is less than 10% of materials ordered ($500) No charges will apply 2011 STAR Order Management || Slide 82 October 2010

83. Excessive Materials Ordered Charges Example 2 Value of materials ordered = $5,000 Value of materials used = $4,100 Difference between ordered and used = $900 10% of materials ordered = $500 Difference ($900) is greater than 10% of materials ordered ($500) Charge will apply Charge will be $900 – $500 = $400 2011 STAR Order Management || Slide 83 October 2010
