Retail Purchases

OVERVIEW

Accounts payable requires itemized receipts to process payments.

PROCEDURE

When purchasing goods from a retail establishment, the required documentation includes the itemized receipt for the goods purchased.  This is generally the cash register receipt.  Some vendors send an invoice with the total amount due, however, this is not sufficient unless an itemized listing of the merchandise purchased is included.

If purchases are under $1,000.00, the University Purchasing Card provides a convenient alternative to purchasing these items.
