Blanket Purchase Order Release
This is the standard form used by UALR employees to authorize payment of invoices on a blanket purchase order. All invoices for a blanket purchase order must be matched with a purchase order release before they are entered into the BANNER system. If accounts payable receives a blanket order invoice, they will route the invoice back to the department. The department will attach this release form to the invoice and route back to accounts payable for data entry.
