Employee Originating Order
The vendor will deliver goods per the ship-to instructions on the order. If the employee originating the order is satisfied, the process is complete and no further action is required of the employee.
If the employee originating the order is not satisfied, they may arrange for the return of goods with the vendor and note the return in iProcurement. See Quick Steps: Receive / Return Goods in iProcurement.
Invoices for CWA orders are sent directly from the vendor to Accounts Payable. If the invoice is sent to the department instead of directly to Accounts Payable, write the PO number, “OK to pay” and fax the invoice to Accounts Payable.
