What is an OpenPO?

An OpenPO is a purchase order, arranged ahead of time with Roos Instruments, specifically designed to allow authorized poeple to purchase RI Kits against a set limit. Think of it as a credit line that Roos Instruments issues invoices against. The OpenPO can also be arranged to work with your organization's accounting system by specifying buying agent information or a reference number (i.e. authorization code or employee badge number). Your company will be invoiced according to the terms of the OpenPO; payment is due within 30 days of shipment. If you would like to establish an OpenPO, please contact RI sales representative in your region.
