Where a vendor requires a Purchase Order, or a Purchase Order is required by the University based on dollar threshold, Purchase Orders can be generated through submitting a Non-Catalogue Purchasing Requisition through Sm@rtBuy.
Please note that a Wire To Foreign Country Form must be submitted for payment to a vendor outside Canada or the United States.

What is the Purchase Requisition to Purchase Order process?
The Purchase Order to Purchase Requisition (PRPO) process is the process in which Purchase Requisition flows through the approval process to generate a Purchase Order, and in turn allow the shopper to purchase goods or services.
- Purchasing Requisitions are created through Sm@rtBuy
- The Purchasing Requisition is workflowed through Sm@rtBuy based on the Signing Authority Register (SAR) for the given cost centre
- Once the process is complete, a Purchase Order is generated
- The good or service is able to be purchased from the indicated supplier or vendor
- The receipt of the good or service is confirmed, and the supplier or vendor is paid
