Freight and commercial transportation bills are generally sent to Disbursements for payment. If you receive one of these bills directly, please follow the steps below.

1. Check the bill to make sure it's correct.

Check that the following information is correct and recorded on the bill:
- Addresses of the sender and recipient
- Amount charged
- Index or purchase order
If an item on the bill is not correct, follow up as noted below:
- Incorrect address or amount charged: Contact the freight company for correction.
- Index or purchase order number is missing or incorrect: Write the correct index or number on the bill.
If the freight bill refers to inventorial equipment where no campus purchase order was established for the freight costs, please follow the directions on How to Add Freight Costs to Existing Equipment.

2. Submit the bill to Disbursements for payment
