37. What NOT to do on a Purchase Order

38. Changing Account Number • Changing any part of the account number on a detail line(s) of an open purchase order with any receiving activity will cause major encumbrance issues. • This applies to receiving throughout the year. 38

39. The Account number includes the Business Unit, Object Account, and Subsidiary. Also pay special attention to the Subledger field. • If you need to change the account number (business unit, object account, subsidiary, or subledger), you must cancel the original line on the purchase order and create a new line on the same purchase order with the correct account number. 39

40. Changing Subledgers • When changing subledgers (structured or unstructured) on a detail line(s) of a purchase order, you must cancel the original line on the purchase order and create a new line on the same purchase order with the correct account number. • This includes adding a subledger to a detail line(s) on a purchase order (which was previously blank) after a fiscal year has closed or in the middle of the receiving process. 40

41. Entering a Purchase Order Do not enter a Preferred order number in this field. The system will assign a number when the document is created. 41

42. Generating a Purchase Order Do not enter a preferred order number in this field. The system will assign a number once the document is created. 42

43. Reversing Receipts • Please follow the receipt and reverse receipt processes which are documented in the NIS Procurement Training Manuals (specifically the Reversing Receipts instructions). • The receipt and reverse receipt process must be completed per the work instructions before any changes or cancellations are made to the purchase order document. 43

44. Receipt (O) Batches • NEVER void an “O” (receipt or reverse receipt) batch without prior communication with the NIS Team. • Do not change any part of “O” (receipt or reverse receipt) batch manually via the Journal Entries with Debit/Credit Format application. This includes, but is not limited to, the account number, amounts, purchase order number, etc. 44

45. Entering a journal entry to correct Received Not Vouchered Report • The Purchase Order field is 8-digits, so a 5-digit purchase order number must include 3 leading zeros (example – purchase order #12345 must be 00012345 in a correcting journal entry) • The document type must be all capital letters (example – document type OP must be OP, not Op or op) 45
