- Carleton Purchasing Card
This is the preferred method of payment. The purchasing card may be used to procure services, supplies and equipment when budget authorization is in place and corresponding credit limits have been approved. - Create Requisition
The “Create Requisition“ task in Worday starts the purchase order process. This is to be used for the purchase of commodities and services from outside suppliers exceeding $5,000 or for services which need contract terms and conditions that are associated with purchase orders. - Direct Supplier Invoice Payment
Payment may be authorized directly from the supplier invoice for goods and/or services received. Use the “Create Supplier Invoice Request” task in Workday to initiate a request for payment when you receive an invoice but do not have a related purchase order. If you receive an invoice that has an associated Purchase Order, email the approved invoice to accountspayable@carleton.edu for processing.
Use preferred suppliers whenever possible. See the Purchasing Policy and Supplier Contracts for additional information.
Only individuals with purchasing authority may initiate purchases on behalf of the College. Refer to the Purchasing Authorization Guide for details.
