  • include the Purchase Order number,
  • include a description of goods or services to be provided, and
  • include the agreed cost.

In the event that the goods or services which you are providing will exceed the original quote, then you must obtain a revised Purchase Order before proceeding.

Invoices which do not reflect an approved Purchase Order will not be processed for payment and will be returned to the supplier.
