Quotes and Purchase Orders
Project Accounting
Once you have submitted a project to the LIMS, an administrator will review relevant information and make recommendations, if appropriate. You will receive a message via the LIMS confirming that your project has been accepted. At this time, a formal quotation will be made available for download from the Accounting page (accessed by pressing the “Accounting” button at the bottom of your project page).
If your project is not being paid from a Cornell account (i.e., is an “external” project), options are to sign the service agreement provided (promise to pay for the work performed) or use the quotation to obtain a purchase order (PO) from your institution. The PO or alternative service agreement should then be uploaded to the LIMS using the “Accounting” button. Samples will not be accepted for processing until the PO or alternative agreement is posted to your project.
