Why do invoices need to be mailed directly to the Accounts Payable department in addition to a priced packing slip or invoice copy to the City order location?
The City’s Centralized Accounts Payable department processes payment for all 14 City divisions which are located throughout the City. It is difficult and time consuming to shuffle paper between the various locations. The order location enters an on-line approval for the goods received, and retains the paperwork as back up documentation. When the Accounts Payable department receives the invoice, it is entered on-line and matched with the order location’s approval to pay according to the set terms.
