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:

  1. Mark the invoice with the words "I AUTHORIZE THIS INVOICE TO BE PROCESSED FOR PAYMENT."
  2. Type your name, phone number, IC, Common Account Number (CAN), and date on this invoice.
  3. Sign the authorization statement.
  4. Provide a brief justification.
  5. Send the invoice to the Shipping Office, Freight Forwarding Section, DLS, OLAO, Building 13, Dock E, Room 1759, MSC 5725 for processing.
