Adoption of a No Purchase Order (PO), No Payment policy at 成人直播
成人直播 (成人直播) is adopting a No Purchase Order (PO), No Payment policy from 7th April 2025. The No PO, No Pay policy applies uniformly to all suppliers and contractors providing goods, services, or works to the University.
From 7th April 2025 onwards all invoices received from suppliers and contractors must quote a valid purchase order (PO) number generated from the University鈥檚 finance system. PO numbers must be in place prior to delivery of goods, services or works.
Please read our No PO, No Pay FAQs below for more detail.
Why have we implemented this?
A No PO, No Pay policy ensures that the University only pays for goods, services and works which have been properly ordered and authorised. It also ensures invoices received by the Finance team can be processed efficiently to minimise delay of payment to suppliers and contractors. Invoices received by the Finance team without a valid PO number will not be accepted and will be returned to the supplier.
What are the benefits?
Quoting a valid PO number on invoices facilitates their prompt payment to suppliers and contractors in accordance with the relevant payment terms.
