What is a NoPO?<\/h3>\n

Use “NoPO,” the\u00a0newest UShop form, in lieu of a Payment Request when an invoice that IS NOT already<\/em>\u00a0associated with a Purchase Order (PO) needs to be paid.\u00a0 The result will be a “No PO” payment to a supplier.<\/p>\n

Why was\u00a0NoPO developed?<\/h3>\n

NoPO takes a strictly paper process and migrates most steps to digital processes using the technology we have configured within UShop:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A NoPO utilizes electronic approval workflow for required payment approvals, without sending an order to the supplier.<\/li>\n
  2. Users will attach supporting documentation directly to the UShop NoPO for more timely and accurate digital records.<\/li>\n
  3. NoPOs will be electronically distributed to Purchasing (when necessary) and to Accounts Payable to eliminate campus mail and other delays associated with routing paper forms.<\/li>\n
  4. PIs or AEs are able to approve payments electronically – even when they are not in the office.<\/li>\n
  5. Payments will be completed more quickly and accurately – as approved NoPOs are available for processing immediately!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How do\u00a0I find and use the NoPO form?<\/h3>\n

    The form is found in the “uRequest” showcase, and flows similarly to other UShop forms and contains\u00a0the necessary instructions for our users.\u00a0 Please be aware of the following workflow and processing requirements:<\/p>\n
