If the purchase is less than £35.00 and urgent, urgent meaning that the order can not wait until it can be added to a later order going to the same supplier, then there is the option of purchasing the goods on the Faculty Credit card, at the discretion of the Faculty Purchase officer, restrictions apply.j.k.macintyre@leeds.ac.uk RETROSPECTIVE PURCHASE ORDERSThese are purchase orders raised to create a commitment on the system after the invoice is received and are not permitted by University Regulations, therefore all goods and services must have a purchase order raised before the University receives the invoice. Any invoices received not correctly addressed or not quoting a Purchase Order number will be returned to the supplier. www.see.leeds.ac.uk
