Purchase to Pay
Establish Purchasing Route
Having identified the goods/services required and the supplier, you next need to decide the most appropriate method of purchase.
There are various ways to purchase goods and services for the
University, depending on the value, method of payment required and
purchasing channels used within your department. Select from the
following:
- Marketplace - online shopping from selected suppliers
- Oracle Financials Purchase Requisition - required for orders over £100, or for the purchase of hazardous or controlled goods, regardless of value
- The
cost of the purchase is under £100 or covered by the List of Exceptions to Purchase Order Requisitioning
(67kb) - A departmental credit card is used to pay for the purchase
- Payment in advance is required
- It is a library material purchase (via OLIS)
The Departmental Administrator or equivalent should run and review the Purchase Activity Register on a regular basis (not less than quarterly); and follow up on any unexpected or unusual purchases.
