Purchase Orders -- The Easy Way to Purchase Books For Your Organization

Our online Purchase Order Accounts are a convenient, cost-effective way for libraries, schools, government agencies, and companies to purchase products from Centurian. Our P.O. Accounts are similar to a line of credit, not a credit card; we do not charge interest. When you apply, you will be asked to assign an Account Administrator who will be responsible for adding and removing other authorized users to your P.O. Account.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are the terms?

Our terms are NET 30 from the invoice date (i.e., the date the product is shipped).

Is interest charged or are there any fees?

We do not charge interest. We reserve the right to charge a 1.5% per month late payment fee if payment is not received within 30 days of the invoice date.

Does a third party handle your Purchase Order Accounts?

No. Centurian maintains an internal Accounts Receivable team to answer your questions. See contact information below.

Will more than one person be able to use the same Purchase Order Account?

Yes. We include a login and PIN that allow the Account Administrator (named by you during the application) to add or remove the email addresses of all individuals who are authorized to charge an order to your Purchase Order Account. There is no limit to the number of authorized users, and you may add or remove authorized users at any time.

Must we include our own Purchase Order number when charging to our Purchase Order Account?

No. Our web site has a field available if you would like to enter your internal P.O. number, but it is not required. You may simply leave the field blank. If you do provide a P.O. number, your entry will be printed on your invoices and monthly statement to facilitate reconciliation.

Will an invoice arrive in the box with the products we order?

A packing slip is sent with each order, and an invoice will arrive a few days later.

Will you cancel previously placed pending orders if we fall behind on payment?

No. If your account falls past due, we will work with you and/or your Accounts Payable Department to determine a payment schedule. Your orders may be placed on hold, but we will not cancel previously placed pending orders.

We've been approved for an account, but our credit limit is low. Will you raise it?

If you feel your credit limit is too low, please send us an email (see contact information below). We review all inquiries on a case-by-case basis.
