EMQN does not require a Purchase Order (PO) number to process your order or register you for an EQA scheme. However, if your organisation requires a PO number to appear on invoices for payment purposes, you should enter it in the PO Number field when completing your purchase.
If you do not have the PO number at the time of purchase, you can add it later by:
- Logging in to your EMQN account.
- Selecting Orders from the menu.
- Locating the relevant order.
- Adding the PO number to the order record.
Please note that if you place multiple orders during a scheme year, all purchases will appear on the same invoice. If additional purchases are made later in the year (for example, repeat samples), your organisation may need to raise an additional internal PO.
If your Purchasing Department sends a PO directly to EMQN, please ensure it includes:
- Your Lab ID number
- The name of your laboratory
- Your Primary Contact
Without this information, we may be unable to associate the PO with your account, and it may not be referenced on your invoice.
Important: Sending a PO to EMQN does not constitute an order or registration. Registration is only completed when schemes are purchased and the checkout process is fully completed through your EMQN account. Only purchases made through the website result in registration for an EQA scheme.
