Terms and Conditions of Purchase

Legacy Contributor

Hey everyone,

How do you send your Terms and Conditions of Purchase to suppliers? Do you attach the entire document or just some sort of summary?

Currently we put a link to our T&C of purchase in our PO headers. The actual document is pretty lengthy and we would rather not send the entire thing with every PO. If suppliers want to view them, they are clearly posted. We are now being asked if it would be possible to send the entire document with every PO (EDI and non-EDI). This seems like it could be cumbersome to our suppliers to wade through 3 pages of legal information to find what we actually ordered, so I thought I would reach out.

Is there a standard way to do this other than the PO Header comments that we use? Do you send the whole document?

 

Thanks!

Vendors must sign off on T&C prior to getting a vendor number in Lawson. The PO says: Performance of Purchase Order is deemed acceptance of Terms and Conditions.



We periodically get diligent Customer Service reps who want a copy of the full T&C - there's a pdf on the network drive that the buyer emails them.
