SUPPLIER INVOICES

Please place all required orders so that goods are received well before March 31, 2017.  Suggested date to finalize all orders is March 15, 2017 but if more lead time is required by your vendor then please ensure their deadlines are met. Any delays in shipping or backorders could result in goods not being received by March 31^st and expenses having to be paid from the next fiscal year.
