If you are invoicing the University, please note the following points:
Our purchase orders to you
We have three routes for placing orders with suppliers:
- Standard email order, from our FMS system
- Marketplace order, from our Parabilis system
- cXML order, from our Parabilis system
We will order from you in the manner we have agreed with you. The Purchase Order number range for orders placed by us begins with a ‘5’ followed by 6 further digits for example ‘5000000’.
Please quote the Purchase Order number in all correspondence with us.
If your contact email address for receipt of purchase orders changes, please notify us immediately so we can update our records.
Delivery notes should be sent to the receiving Department within the University.
Invoices should be sent to our Payments Team, within Finance.
More details are provided below.
