There are no dollar limits imposed on orders placed through e-SHOP. All Cornell routing is dependent on your role as defined by your BSC. Your order will be sent directly to the vendor if it is under the dollar amount for your purchasing limit. All approvals will be done on the back-end of the transaction, i.e., the payment request for the invoice must be approved prior to payment being sent to the vendor. If your order is above the dollar amount for your purchasing limit, your order will be reviewed and approved by a fiscal officer in your BSC, based on their established business practices, prior to it being sent to the vendor. If the order amount is above the university's bid limit or the vendor's automatic purchase order limit, the order will be reviewed by a procurement agent.
Note: If your order requires additional routing, e.g., commodity review for radioactive materials, that routing will take place even if the order is under the purchasing limit.
