The goal of Payment Services is to issue accurate and timely payments on behalf of the University, while providing employees, suppliers, and the Baylor community with the highest level of support and service.
When paying for goods and services, there are three methods of purchase:
- Purchase Order – The preferred method of purchasing at the University is to establish a Purchase Order (PO).
- Payment Request - For payments that cannot be transacted via PO, a Payment Request serves as a request for direct payment to the supplier. More information can be found in the Payment Request Reference Guide.
- Card Programs– The University offers several card programs, Purchasing Card, Department Card, and Travel Card, to eligible employees to streamline payment of infrequent, low-dollar purchases. University-issued cards are not intended to replace or bypass use of Ignite Marketplace or the PO process.
