The Department of Procurement, Disbursements and Contract Services are emailing departmental Purchase Orders and Requisitions to the appropriate Account Manager.
The email will arrive with the purchase order or requisition saved as an Adobe PDF attachment; The email SUBJECT line will display the Purchase Order number or Requisition. The PDF allows you the flexibility to print, save and archive or delete the purchase order/requisiton as your office needs dictate. These will always be sent from purchase@eiu.edu.
We recognize a number of Account Managers would prefer these attachments be sent to another staff member. With that in mind, we have directions to set up a MAIL FORWARD rule in Outlook and Panthermail Basic. In addition a sample email with the purchase order attachment is also listed below. (Requisition forwarding will work the same way.)
