# Sales: no purchase orders — payment before collect

- **Rule:** AM does not fulfil on institutional/buyer **purchase orders alone**. Client must **pay (EFT/POP)** before collection/dispatch.
- **Example:** University of Pretoria Mechanical (Edwin Mohale) sent UP POs; Gerchia: “we do not work with purchase orders you will have to send us the payments…” (`1a0151a1e642315a`).
- **Practice:** Acknowledge PO for their records if needed, still issue pro-forma and wait for POP; do not book stock on PO promise.
