SNF Purchase Order Requirements

Overview:

A purchase order (PO) is required for account setup with Stanford’s Accounts Receivables department.  The turnaround time is typically a couple of days but can take up to 10 business days during peak times. Please also be aware of the following.    

1. The PO is considered a “blanket” order. Invoices are issued for fees incurred, regardless of any dollar limits or other terms and conditions included. To avoid processing delays, we suggest setting a dollar amount of one month's cap per individual ($14,000/Industry; $4,000 Academic).
2. Stanford’s terms are Net 30. We reserve the right to suspend lab access or require a retainer from organizations that exceed Net 30 or present other potential financial risk. 
3. The PO applies to fees incurred at SNF only and cannot be used for any other activities at Stanford University.
