As always, Accounting needs “verification” of receipt of goods or services immediately after delivery.  What constitutes a “verification” is: 1) a PO#, 2) a signature, 3) a date, and 4) an indication whether Accounting should keep the PO open (the PO has only partially been filled) or close the PO (all items received in full). The “verification” can be done on a packing slip, a copy of the PO, or a copy of the invoice.

Purchased items being delivered by vendors and received at schools over the summer break must remain in a designated holding area. When staff returns they can account for the items properly, verify and submit the proper paperwork in a timely manner to the Accounting Department.
