Receiving in EAS

Receiving Fundamentals

  • Not all Purchase Order (PO) Lines require receipt verification; generally, only purchase orders whose total exceed $2,500 will require receipt verification in Oracle.
  • Receipt verification in Oracle authorizes payment of the associated invoice.
  • Do not receive goods before the supplier delivers the goods.
  • Do not receive services before the supplier submits a finalized invoice.
  • When a PO line requires receipt verification the invoice is placed on hold pending receipt in Oracle and an automated email notice is sent to the Requester.
