Account numbers represent the type of revenue or expense to be transacted to each center.
All invoices should be received centrally by the Accounts Payable Department. If a computerized match within set tolerances is obtained with the purchase order and corresponding invoice, the invoice is scheduled for payment in accordance with the most economical pay date. The department to be charged receives a copy of the invoice indicating the date payment will be made. Should there be a problem regarding the item or services received under the purchase order, Accounts Payable is to be notified by the receiving department to withhold payment. Purchasing may be contacted by the department to assist in reconciling the problem.
