Purchase Guidelines

Invoice Received Date

This is the date the invoice was first received at the paying agency. The Invoice Received date must actually be documented on the payment document. This can be done with a date stamp on the invoice, the fax received date line on a faxed invoice, or the date of an email. If the invoice is received in an email, the email must be saved as a PDF and attached to the payment document. In the event there is no documented invoice received date, the invoice date must be used as the invoice received date. Failure to accurately record the invoice received date can result in possible prompt payment interest.
