What is a Confirming Order?
At times, departments will have emergency needs that require them to request a P.O. number from Purchasing. Purchasing refers to these as confirming orders. When a department calls to get a P.O. number for the emergency purchase, purchasing enters the information about the transaction (i.e. vendor, cost, requestor, etc.) into the web req system. After the information is entered in to the Agent’s web req screen they receive a P.O. number from the system and a requisition is initiated and routed to the department’s Default Verifier.
