2.7.5. Payment of Freight Invoices

Accounts Payable receives and pays freight invoices.

When items are being returned, do the following:

1. Instruct the carrier to include a University index, purchase order number, or employee name on the freight bill.

NOTE: Including an index or purchase order number on the freight bill enables prompt payment of the invoice.

If prepayment is required, a check request must be received in Accounts Payable at a minimum of five business days prior to the check being needed. Refer to the procedures in section 2.7.2. on how to complete a check request.
