Default Dispatch Method Now Set to Email
December 13, 2022
PPS and Northwestern IT initiated a project to ensure that going forward, purchase orders (POs) are dispatched to vendors via email. Dispatching POs to vendors via email lessens the chance that POs are missed by vendors due to various fax issues. IT began transitioning vendors who previously received purchase orders via fax, but also had an email address in the system, to default to dispatch via email. Also, when staff submit a request to enter a new supplier in NUFinancials, the dispatch method is now defaulted to email, and fax is no longer an option.
Vendors who still receive purchase orders via fax now will see a note on the fax cover sheet requesting that they provide an email address where POs can be sent moving forward.
