Who should I contact regarding creation of my Purchase Order?

Question

My SAP requisition has been approved, but no Purchase Order has been generated. What should I do?

Answer

For an internal vendor requisition, no Purchase Order will be generated. Approval code may show up as "No release strategy", or simply as "Approved". Purchase orders are not generated for internal vendors. After providing the goods or services, the inernal vendor will create a Journal Voucher to transfer the funds.

For an external or ECAT vendor requisition, if the requisition has been approved, but time has passed and no Purchase Order has been generated, contact the Procurement Department via email at procurement@mit.edu. If there is a purchasing agent listed for the requisition, it may be helpful to contact that person directly.
