All vendor invoices are to be forwarded to Accounts Payable for payment. Vendor invoices can come from three areas: direct mail, intra-campus mail, and the Receiving Departments upon the receipt of goods.
Invoices are to be processed during the latest processing run to allow adequate payment preparation time before the invoice due date. Invoices with no specific due dates are to be processed within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. All active files are to be reviewed on a twice-weekly basis to ensure that outstanding invoices are being processed on a timely basis.
A check is to be prepared when adequate supporting documentation is present to justify the preparation. Such documentation includes the Check Request Voucher, Requisition, and/or invoice and the initials or signatures of the proper approving persons.
Payment is to be made from the original invoices only.

Disbursing checks payable to ''Cash'' or ''Bearer'' is prohibited.
