Purchase Order Generation Prior to InvoiceWhat Does A Purchase Order Do For You

Brenda Pape

• Purchase orders are to be completed at the time the order is placed.• Purchase orders document the item/service deliverable being ordered, the

date order was placed, delivery time required, quantity, delivery location, and pricing.

– The purchase order holds the vendor/contractor accountable– The purchase order is used to establish vendor/contractor performance

requirements– If there is a vendor performance problem, the purchase order is used to

document requirements– Issuing a purchase order at the time an invoice is received defeats the purpose

of the purchase order. There isn’t a way to verify what was ordered, quantity ordered, pricing, date vendor was notified of order, delivery location, etc. (This process creates a he said she said situation.)

– Items can be received on-line in NIS– Accounting departments have the ability to pay timely. If invoice matches the

purchase order and receipts, payment process is streamlined.

Service PO Generation Prior to Invoice

Placing Orders from Established Contracts• Generating a purchase order from contract streamlines process for

the agency.• Eliminates re-keying of items and pricing.• Establishes delivery time, location, date order was placed.• Receive product/service on-line in NIS.• Accounting Departments do not have to verify pricing as the pricing

is pulled from the contract automatically when generating the purchase order. (No date entry errors). If invoice matches purchase order and receipts, payments can be made easily to vendor.

• Approval status of order can be looked up on-line in NIS.• Waiting to issue a purchase order until an invoice is received

defeats the purpose of the purchase order (as discussed previously.• Eliminates the need to re-open contract to pay invoices as purchase

order is issued prior to contract expiration.

• If AS Materiel – State Purchasing Bureau (SPB), Office of the CIO or AS TSB is in an approval route, do not assume that the document will be approved.– OR documents greater than $10,000 will be assigned to a buyer

in State Purchasing for processing.– If a purchase requisition routes to the State Purchasing Bureau,

you must wait for State Purchasing to solicit bid opportunities or be notified by State Purchasing of the OO (Direct Purchase Authority Document).

• Do not print a Purchase Order and send it to the vendor until you have verified the document has been approved.

• Look for Approvers on the Status Summary of your procurement document whether it is a Requisition or a Purchase Order.
