Frequently Asked Questions
General Procurement
Does the Procurement Office Place Orders?
No, Procurement reviews and approves requisition forms but the department is responsible for purchasing the goods or services.
Do I need approval to make a purchase with a p-card?
Any purchase $10,000 and over requires approval from procurement regardless of how the good or service is being procured.
Do I submit invoices to the Procurement Office?
All invoices should be submitted to Accounts Payable for processing at acctspay@plu.edu.
What is the waiting period for requisition approval?
For single purchases that do not involve a contract, requestors can expect approval within 1-2 business days. If submissions are incomplete, it will extend the waiting period.
When am I required to send a purchase order to a vendor?
Effective December 2023, you are no longer required to issue a PO to vendors. If a vendor requests a PO, contact Accounts Payable at acctspay@plu.edu.
