Non Order Payment Request Forms

Staff are advised effective 9th May 2005 the University has discontinued the practice of paying Creditors/Suppliers via Non-Order Request Forms.

Alternatives to the Use of Non Order Payment Request Forms

Staff are reminded that the University's preferred means of payment for high volume, low value goods and services is the Visa purchasing card. Where this card is not accepted by suppliers and/or faculties and divsional staff do not have access to a purchasing card (their own or elsewhere in the department), a Finance One purchase requisition is to be raised.

Invoice Splitting

Staff are also reminded that under no circumstances is invoice splitting permitted to bring the invoice amount under the various delegation and/or quotation limits. The University will introduce exception reporting to monitor this situation on an ongoing basis.

Further changes wil be introduced in the near future with respect to The University's dealings with its suppliers. Details will be made available as and when this occurs.
