Purchase order?!

The university is currently pushing to utilize purchase orders and requisitions more and more for all types of goods and services but don’t worry; purchase orders are simple and they actually help keep track of orders and purchases more so than a simple check request!

There is a step by step guide on InsideUNH on how to go through the requisition process. It not only outlines how to create a requisition but can also provide insight on how to look up vendor ID numbers as well as account codes!
Also be sure that if you’re dealing with a new vendor that a W9 is sent to the business office so that a vendor ID number can be generated.

Don’t worry—it all can sound a bit intimidating, but requisitions are really easy and if you’re still stuck, feel free to ask me! Just also be sure that when dealing with requisitions and purchase orders an invoice (that you will receive from the vendor once the vendor receives the PO) is submitted back to me in order for the vendor to get paid! The vendor won’t get paid until I receive an invoice. Also make sure that you email me at [email protected] informing me that a purchase requisition has been created and what expense line in your budget it’s coming out of.

Don’t be afraid of purchase orders; the more you do, the more confident you and your RSO will become in submitting them!
