How to purchase with a PO or Purchase Order

Shopping for curriculum using a Purchase Order or PO is simple at www.comprehensibleclassroom.com. Our Purchase Order process is almost fully automated, allowing you to quickly get your teachers the materials they need.

Please note: all products purchased from The Comprehensible Classroom are intended for use by a single teacher. In order for multiple teachers to use a given product, multiple licenses (multiple copies of a product) must be purchased. 

To purchase with a PO (Purchase Order), you will first need to make sure you have a District Account.

Please proceed with the following steps from your District Account:

Begin by adding all items you wish to purchase to your account. Be sure that your account has been upgraded to a District Account so that you have the necessary options for checkout with a Purchase Order!

In your cart, you can adjust the number of licenses that you want to purchase for each product, and you can upgrade to Transferable Licenses if desired.

When you're ready, proceed to checkout. 

Instead of paying with a credit card, select the button in front of "Purchase Order." On the same screen, then click "Request a Quote."

Note: If you are shopping during a sale or otherwise using a Promo Code, enter it before you click "Request a Quote"!

Instantly, your Quote Details will appear. Use these quote details to create a Purchase Order in your school's system.

While you can accept the quote instantly by clicking the "Accept Quote" button, you will probably need time to write the Purchase Order. 

When your Purchase Order is prepared, login to your account and then navigate to "Order History." There, you will find the "Accept Quote" and "Reject Quote" buttons.

When you click "Accept Quote," a pop-up window will appear. Enter the number for the Purchase Order that your school created, and upload the Purchase Order as a PDF.

As soon as you upload the Purchase Order, our Purchasing Division receives a notification. We will review your Purchase Order and approve it. While you wait for approval, you will see a yellow flag that says "Pending Vendor Approval" below the Order Number in your Order History. 

You will receive notification via email when your PO is approved, and you can also check on the status at any time in your Order History.

As soon as you are approved, you will receive an email notification prompting you to submit payment. Under the Order History tab in your account, you will be able to download your Invoice.

Download and print your invoice, and mail with payment to the mailing address, which is located at the top of the invoice.

As soon as your invoice is available, the licenses that you purchased will be available in your account to distribute to teachers. Find them under the "My Products" tab, and visit this HelpDesk article to learn how to distribute them to teachers.
