After the Requisition

Learn what to do after a purchase.

Receiving Orders

When the good or service ordered has been delivered by the supplier, and the supplier should have a payment released to them, the order must be received within Ariba, the e-Procurement system, by the Receiver. Orders totaling less than $1,000 are automatically received by the system. Follow the QRG for Receiving in Ariba.

Resolving Match Exceptions

If there is a difference between the Invoice and PO in the reconciling process, an exception will be created. Review and correction are required on all the identified exceptions. Reference the QRG Invoice reconciler.
