There may be instances when an order has to be prepaid in advance of shipment, but the vendor does not accept payment by credit card. This may be indicated to you on the citation, the Aleph vendor record, the vendor’s website or via notification from the vendor.
We can request that Administrative Services have a check cut to accompany the purchase order.

- Give the paper backup to Charlene with a note that this is a prepaid order and to return purchase order to you.
