Creating a receipt
Creating a Receipt for Goods or Services
Purpose
When you create receipt for goods or services against a purchase order you are confirming receipt of the items or service, releasing the invoice for payment.
Key note: The date of receipt will be the accounting date for the actual expense. Do not receive in advance of the delivery of goods or completion of service. Please remember that all invoices need to be emailed to accpay@risd.edu for payment. Attached receipts are for personal reference only and will not transmit to Accounts Payable for payment processing.
