Finance Roundtable April 19, Mansfield ISD

2. Purchasing reminders
Ed Harper

3. Attaching Documentation to Skyward Purchase Orders
Just like a PDSA is attached in Skyward, campuses/departments now will attach all quotes/documentation to each PO.
This should help decrease the amount of denials.

4. Amazon shipping
If you see shipping on your Purchase Order you will need to contact Amazon Customer Service to get it credited.
Free shipping should be on anything over $49.00
Less than $49, you will be charged shipping

5. Food Vendors
Some vendors may want you to have a check ready for them when the food is delivered. Check with the vendor when the order is placed to see if you need a check when the food is delivered.
Others will accept a Purchase Order and we can send them a check or ACH payment.
If you are using an Open PO, we can adjust after the fact.
For example: If you originally needed 10 pizzas and the last minute you only need 6 pizzas. Purchasing can adjust the PO, you do not have to order the 10 original pizzas.

6. Purchase Orders
If you have the catalog numbers please use them on the Purchase Order.

7. DISTRIBUTION CENTER
Brad Barker

8. CURRENT INVENTORY
Please take a handout that lists all items that are currently stocked in the distribution center.
Items that are highlighted are being phased out; once it is gone, it will no longer be stocked. If a campus or department needs that particular item, then an outside vendor will need to be used.

Make sure and get your paper order entered.

10. RECORD STORAGE LABELS

16. Travel reimbursements
Itineraries/agendas/certificate of attendance must be attached to travel reimbursements to validate attendance.

17. FIELD TRIP DOCUMENTATION
Please send A/P these items all TOGETHER to process field trip checks:
1. Copy of PO
2. Skyward Rosters
3. Invoice showing # of students (this must match Skyward rosters)
4. List of chaperones / teachers.
NOTE: If you are waiting on an updated invoice, hold all the documentation until you have it.

18. CHECKS Communication is the key.
A/P cuts checks ONE week before the travel or field trip occurs. If you need it sooner, then let them know – the best way is to include a narrative on the bottom of the PO.
Example: Kati Walker will pick
up check on May 11th.
However, if you tell A/P that you need a check, pick it up Don’t cry wolf!!!

19. BASIC REMINDERS RECEIVE, RECEIVE, RECEIVE This is our “ok to pay.”
When you have a blanket PO, receive the amount that you used. For example, Hobby Lobby PO - $ Teacher spent $94.86, please receive $94.86, not the full $100.00—we are paying on the amount received.
Skyward is your FRIEND!!!
