Online Purchase Orders

Accounting & Budget Services, in partnership with the Office of Information Services, has implemented online purchase orders, using the Banner Purchasing system. This has automated the creation of purchase orders and made it possible to establish budget encumbrances (reservations).

Request a New Vendor
Can't find the vendor you need? Please send an email message to vendor_request@ups.edu. Include the vendor's name, primary address, secondary address if applicable, their phone and fax numbers, a primary contact if available and the vendor's standard terms, if known, in your email.  AP staff will respond to your request within four hours.  If you need a response more quickly than that, please call Deanna Kass, x3468 in Accounts Payable.

Purchase Order FAQs

Online Purchase Order Creation & Approval Training
Download the Purchase Order Training Manual. The manual will provide you with the information necessary to process and approve purchase orders and change orders within the Banner on-line system. 

Note: The training manual must be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have this installed on your computer, you can obtain this as a free add in from Adobe's Home Page.

The Life of a Purchase Order
The Life of a Purchase Order is a document that provides a summary of the purchasing process from the creation of the purchase order (PO) to the payment of the vendor.  This document will help you to identify where your PO is in the purchasing cycle and includes instructions for deleting, canceling and closing POs.
