Question
How do I now do what was previously known as a "DCPO"?
Answer
What was previously referred to as a "DCPO" has been replaced with a new business process and document type called the "LVPO" (Low Value Purchase Order).

This document type should be used for expense purchases under $2,500 for items other than restricted commodities. These requisitions automatically create POs without any approvals or Purchasing Department intervention. Once a Purchase Order number has been generated, Requisitioners call the order into the vendor. The vendor will NOT receive a Purchase Order from the SRM system. Hopkins eMarketplace cannot be used with this document type. JHU only
