Standing Purchase Order

When goods or services are needed from a vendor on a regular basis, the standing order is used rather than issuing several regular purchase orders.  An example for the use of a standing order is the request for monthly payments on a maintenance agreement. One standing order is issued rather than twelve monthly purchase orders.  The standing purchase order is obtained by requesting it on the purchase requisition.  They can only be made out up to $2,000.00
