A new purchase order must be generated for additional items. Invoices received should match the purchase order. Freight is not considered an additional item. If you have a question about what object code an item should be charged to, please call the Purchasing Department. This form confirms that goods or services have been approved for purchase and that the order has been mailed unless the department has made other arrangements.
Some departments choose to fax or mail their own purchase orders.
For this reason, the department should clearly indicate on the requisition to return the vendor copy of the purchase order to the requester. The purchase order number is always in the upper right hand corner of the purchase order. Legitimate purchase order numbers are automatically assigned by the Datatel software. Any other purchase order referenced by a vendor would be invalid. Purchase order information simply repeats the information submitted on the purchase requisition.
