我们实验室需要从国内的一家公司购买一些材料。我负责联系。
总金额是$1500，不支持信用卡支付，本来国内公司需要提前付款再发货，后来商量了
一下他们最终
同意先发货，我们收到后一周内付款。事先签署个contract或发行PO，注明货到后一周
内付款。
然后我跟系里联系，系里管财务的也不懂，他又跟学校Purchase 的人询问，得到以下
回答：
学校 XXX 给系里财务的的回复：
If no rental a d.e.v. could be issued as below as long as the total
price with freight included does not exceed $2,500.
State law requires that we pay within 30 days. If the vendor gets the
invoice to you and you bring it to XXX with the DEV then you can walk it
to A/P for them to issue a check upon the next check write. There will
be no additional language/statements signed, etc. or whatever. We are a
State agency that has been in existence for over 200 years. If the
vendor does not want to be part of the process then it is apparent that
they do not understand business.
系里财务给我的回复：
Please see XXX’s note.
Can you notify YYY（国内公司）that State law requires that UXX（我们学校）
make payment within 30 days and there will be no other documents signed?
You can go ahead and order the item if they will let you and when you
receive it we will process the payment.
30天内付款也许还有商量余地。
但是不能发行PO(因为低于$2500)，也不签contract？难道让我仅仅通过email或者打个
电话就订
货吗？我还没有跟国内公司联系，但感觉这种方式不太可能吧，什么书面材料都没有，
对方就会发货
吗？
请了解的人帮忙看一下，我该如何回应系里和国内公司？先谢谢了。
