Expediting

Main Content

Expediting responsibilities include:

  • Accurate and timely follow up for the receipt of items on all Standard Purchase Orders requiring Receipts
  • Follow up procedures for the return of damaged items
  • Over shipments
  • Receipt of incorrect items

Expediting coordinates contact between buyers, end users, departments, suppliers, and Central Receiving to accomplish the receipt and delivery of all items on Standard Purchase Orders and timely payment to suppliers.

On all 3-way match Standard Purchase Orders, a Receipt must be entered into AIS for each item. Items received by Central Receiving are entered by a Receipt Traveler generated by Central Receiving. Direct delivery items must be entered as a Departmental Receipt upon delivery of the items by the Department.
