Overview

To help ensure the timely processing of your orders and license renewals, SAS has updated its purchase order (PO) policy. Please review the following requirements and instructions to avoid delays.

What is changing?

• Starting January 01, 2026, if your organization requires a PO for payment, you must provide a valid PO before SAS can fulfill your order and issue an invoice.
• For license renewals, please submit your PO at least 30 days before your license start date.

What if my organization does not require a PO?

If your organization does not require a PO, please provide written confirmation from your Finance or Procurement department. This confirmation should state that a PO is not required, be signed, and be on company letterhead. Please submit this confirmation at least 30 days before your license start date.

Where do I send my PO or confirmation?

• Email your PO or confirmation to licensingpo@sas.com.
• Alternatively, send your PO directly to your Account Executive or Renewal Specialist.

Why is this important?

Providing the required documentation in advance helps SAS process your order or renewal without delays. Missing or late POs (or confirmations) might result in invoicing or fulfillment delays.
