Standing Orders

Standing Orders may be issued to repeatedly purchase a product or service from the same Vendor. Once the order is set up, all you have to do is call the Vendor and they will send the goods you need; charges are submitted against the purchase order number generated at the time the standing order is created. Standing Orders can be used when any of the following transactions are anticipated:

  • numerous small value purchases that will be made from a particular Vendor over several months or over the entire fiscal year . Examples: electronic components, flowers, litmus paper;
  • numerous requests for services or maintenance repairs that will be made to a particular Vendor over several months or the entire fiscal year. Examples: secretarial services, developing of films, repairs to calculators, cameras etc.; or
  • multiple billings will be received throughout the fiscal year under a contract for rental/lease of equipment. EXAMPLE: lease of mail equipment.

Initiating a Standing Order

To initiate a Standing Order, the Purchaser must complete and submit an order in Mustang Market using the Under or Over $25,000 form

  • In the description section of the form, enter SO to indicate that it is a standing order and include the time period for the standing order. This is typically, the 澳门六合彩开奖预测 fiscal period
  • Ensure you select 'Standing Order - Yes' on the Summary Tab, after you Proceed to Check-out
  • In the Internal Notes section, on the Summary Tab, enter the previous Purchase Order number for the vendor IF this standing order is to replace one previously in place with the same vendor
    • NOTE: If you have already received an invoice that is to be applied against the Standing Order, forward the invoice to Finance using campus mail.  Do not use the Invoice Attached form as this would create a NEW purchase order and would NOT charge the invoice against the standing order.
