How are Payments made?
Payments are made when the signed and dated purchase order is sent to Accounts Payable and an invoice has been received from the vendor. When a school receives an order (or partial order), the purchase order needs to be signed, dated, and sent to the Accounts Payable. Partial orders or back orders can be noted on the purchase order. It is the Accounts Payable person’s responsibility to keep the purchase order open until all of the order is received. It is important for the purchase order to be sent promptly, even if only a partial order is received, because the vendor wants payment for what has been shipped.
