The following are the procedures and payment options when making purchases on behalf of ACU:

• Use a university purchasing card (PCard) in accordance with PCard policies.
• Prepare a Payment Request Form with the appropriate approval signatures and forward the form and related invoices to Accounts Payable for payment.
• Enter a requisition in the purchasing system. A requisition will be transferred to a purchase order and sent to the vendor. Please use this option when the vendor requires a purchase order. When the vendor provides an invoice, an approval for payment must be documented by an appropriate approver other than the person who initiated the purchase order requisition. Instructions for approving and creating purchase orders are detailed in the “Purchasing with Banner Finance Manual.”
