Hi everyone! I'm new to NIGP and procurement and would appreciate any input on the following question...

Does your municipality use blank purchase orders? If so, do you have a procedure or workflow you could share?

Thank you very much for any feedback you can provide.

We use Blanket purchase orders.

We use a blank order for an emergency only. It is very seldom used.

We have a template of our purchase order from the ERP system. It is downloaded and saved to use in an emergency case. This must be approved from the Director before Manager signs the PO.

All data needed is entered in the form.

If there is a situation with our computers and internet, we can pull a printed one and handwrite the order and budget lines and sign the order.
