This page provides instructions on how to complete receiving, which verifies that goods or services have been received. Receiving can be done proactively to prevent a hold, or later to release a receiving hold on an invoice.
Receive Goods
Before You Start
At Stanford, departments are required to enter receiving information in iProcurement for the following orders:
- Capital equipment purchases (via SmartMart or non-catalog orders)
- Goods or services over $5,000 that require department approval. Receiving can be one way to obtain department approval before the hold is assessed. For more information about invoice approvals, see Topic Overview: Purchase Order Invoice Processing.
If the supplier sent the invoice to the department with the goods or services, the originator should upload the invoice to Accounts Payable via Requisition and Purchase Orders Query.
