Training & Documentation
When goods or services need to be purchased and a Requisition (REQ) has been created and approved, PeopleSoft will automatically convert (source) the REQ into a Purchase Order (PO). Once the PO is sourced, it is sent (dispatched) to the Vendor. It is at this time, the Department may begin ordering the goods and services. Depending on the dollar amount and other restrictions, a PO may be created by the department (DPT) or by NAU's central procurement/purchasing unit (PUR). View these "How-To" guides on PO Processes in PeopleSoft.
