Standardization of Purchase Order Distribution

In an effort to standardize processes, all UNT System campuses will obtain purchase order information using the Manage Requisitions function in the eProcurement module of EIS. Purchase orders will be dispatched directly to vendors through eProcurement.

Training workshops on the entire procurement process will be scheduled in January and February. Stay tuned for training announcements. This initiative was approved by the Business Service Center Operations Committee on December 11, 2012, for implementation on February 1, 2013.

All Institutions to Follow 30-Day-Payment Procedure

Beginning March 1, 2013, University of North Texas, UNT Health Science Center, UNT Dallas and UNT System Administration will disburse payments to vendors 30 days after the later of:

1. Receipt of goods/services, OR
2. Receipt of the invoice for the goods/services.

Exceptions to the 30-day-procedure will be made for certain vendor payments including lease payments, registrations, memberships, subscriptions, maintenance agreements, construction, utilities, or payment terms that vary by executed agreements or contracts.

This procedure will provide leverage for the UNT System Business Service Center to negotiate payment discounts with vendors. Vendors offering payment discounts will be paid according to negotiated terms.
