Shipping charges would also be charged, as is the case today. However, when using Allied, there would not be shipping charges. Various agreement templates are available on the PSSM website. These agreements have been reviewed and approved by CMU legal counsel. Any current agreements in place can continue, however when they are re-negotiated, the approved CMU templates should be used.
Terms are items such as delivery schedule, discounts, payment terms, discount terms, etc.
The conditions of a purchase order are the items that automatically print when a purchase order is printed out of the Oracle system. Terms and conditions are negotiated centrally when using a CMU Preferred vendor. However when departments purchase from non-preferred suppliers, it is the responsibility of the authorized buy for each department to verify the terms and conditions with the supplier. At the department s request, PSSM can do a presentation on negotiating terms and conditions with suppliers. PSSM also has tips on their website.
