What is the purchase order in university and why does it take so long?

294 views

I am working with a university for the first time. They want to pay me via purchase order, but the process on their end seems to take forever and I don’t get why? Isn’t the money already there and that the school has already given green light for the purchase? What am I missing?

The reason a po takes time is that, usually, purchasing departments are not known for their processing speed mainly due to the often cumbersome po approval process that involves ever more approvers. Good luck.
