Processing Inbound Collect and Third Party Carrier Invoices
What happens when an institute/center (IC) receives an invoice from a trucking company or an air express courier?
When an IC receives an inbound collect or third party invoice from a trucking company or an air express courier, the Freight Forwarding Section will process and obligate the invoice for payment. The responsible Administrative Officer (AO) should follow these steps:
- Mark the invoice with the words "I AUTHORIZE THIS INVOICE TO BE PROCESSED FOR PAYMENT."
- Type your name, phone number, IC, Common Account Number (CAN), and date on this invoice.
- Sign the authorization statement.
- Provide a brief justification.
- Send the invoice to the Shipping Office, Freight Forwarding Section, DLS, OLAO, Building 13, Dock E, Room 1759, MSC 5725 for processing.
