Following are explanations to clarify information requested on the AP-102 form.

• "Date Received" should be the date the item(s) was received and accepted by the department. If the item(s) received were damaged or otherwise unacceptable, the vendor must be notified within 15 days of receipt the the goods received were damaged and unacceptable. As explained in Section B-2, the Accounting Office can be used to inform the vendor that the goods were not acceptable.
  
  
• If the vendor delivers more items than those ordered, the vendor will only be paid for the number of items indicated on the purchase order. Excess deliveries should not be accepted by departments without first contacting the Purchasing Office.
  
  
• The "Purchase Order Description" should be the description the department wants to appear in the description column of the monthly departmental accounting report associated with the payment. Please limit the description to 20 characters. If nothing is indicated, a description will be entered by the Accounting Office.
  
  
• It is important that the partial/full shipment question be answered to inform the Accounting Office if the transaction is a full or partial liquidation of the purchase order.
  
  
• If the purchase order is not to be fully liquidated, it is important that the Accounting Office be told which items not to pay. Vendor invoices are not always clear as to which items are being billed and departmental verification is helpful to identify items which will be invoiced in the future.
