Creating Requisitions – Change Orders A Change Order is only done to increase from the original amount If a PO needs to be reduced from the original amount, contact the buyer on the PO. Change Orders MUST include original PO# in the Description field
Creating Requisitions – Blanket PO A Blanket Purchase Order is done for Lump Sum amount
Requisition Header Status Open – Indicates that the requisition has been saved, so you can continue working on it at a later time. However, it has not been submitted for approval. Cancelled - This action was taken by the Requestor based on an e-mail or directive from the department’s Expense Manager. Complete –The requisition is marked complete after the requisition is dispatched on a PO, the goods are received and the vendor is paid.
Category Code & Accounts • For Non-Project Purchases – The requisition will go through even if that account has no funds. This may cause a budget issue later for the department. • For Project Purchases – If the account does not have available funds the requisition will go into budget error and will not source over to Purchasing. The requester must arrange for a budget transfer to make sure that there is funding in the account to cover the purchase.
Budget Status Valid – Budget is available and ready. Not Chk’d– Indicates that it has not been Budget Checked. Error – No budget available. Contact your Budget Manager. They should check Commitment Control and add budget to correct account you are charging. Exceeds Budget Tolerance and Budget Date out of Bounds are two common errors associated to Project funding transactions.

Three Way Matching PurchaseOrder Receiving Invoice
Three Way Matching • The PO is always created first from a Requisition. • The merchandise is received in good order either by Central Receiving, Scientific Receiving, or the Department. • The invoice is received and entered into PantherSoft by the Accounts Payable team of the Controller’s Office.
Three Way Matching Will AP pay the vendor without the vendor having provided the service or merchandise? Absolutely Not! Because of the Three Way Matching rule, until the department enters into the system and receives against the PO, the payment will never leave the University. In effect the department controls when payments are made by controlling the receiving of the merchandise or service.
Three Way Matching Invoices: • Original Invoices must be sent to Accounts Payable. • A paper invoice by Interoffice Mail or scanned & emailed to invoices@fiu.edu is required for payment. • Some Vendors send the invoice before the merchandise arrives or the service is rendered. • There is a State of Florida Regulation, FS 215.422-3a-c, which allows a vendor to receive additional Interest Payment on all open balances over 40 days from the date of the accepted invoice.
Reviewing the entire process • Requisition is done and approved. • A PO was dispatched. • The merchandise was delivered. • A receipt was entered against the PO. • The Invoice came in and It was delivered to the Accounts Payable team in the Controller’s Office. Can I find out the Status?
