    Steps

    1. Log in to the Finance side of PeopleSoft
    2. Navigation Finance: Accounts Payable > Vouchers > Add/Update > Regular Entry
    3. When the materials arrive, inspect and determine that they are in good order
    4. If materials are not satisfactory, and the school/department wants to return them, contact the vendor and request permission
      1. Many vendors use a different address for returns
      2. When returning items, inform Accounts Payable and the Purchasing Office

     

Why This Is Important

    • It’s the law (see CFR 200.320a, CFR 200.67)
    • Expedite the completion of small purchases while minimizing burden and cost
    • Ensure timely payment of SPPS purchases to prevent additional fees
