How to Create A Quantity Receipt Or Cost Receipt

Revised on: 05/07/2021

For Catalog Orders >$5,000 and Non-Catalog Form Orders >$1,000 a receipt is required before a voucher can be paid. 

As soon as a voucher is created for a Purchase Order, the shopper will receive an automated email notification to create a receipt for the line item(s) that have an invoice. IMPORTANT: If a receipt is not created within nine (9) days after an invoice is submitted, the invoice will go into Match Exception and you will continue to receive this notification until a receipt is created. Once you miss this 9 day period to create a receipt, the voucher cannot be removed from Match Exception. Receipts that are created after the 9 day period will not remove the voucher from Match Exception as well.

Upon receiving the email notification, Press on Click here to view your purchase order in the body of the email. This will open your PO directly in BearBUY.
