The delivery address determines the sales tax rate that is applied to your Non-PO invoice, when applicable. ARIBA will always use the delivery address to cross check the sales tax entered on the invoice. For this reason, always add the address where the goods physically shipped to.

Check the Supplier Search Report in the BI Portal to determine if the supplier is registered in the vendor database.
No. M&E object codes may still be visible, but should not be selected. If M&E codes are used, the transaction will be rejected to the department. M&E object codes should only be applied in buying modules (i.e.: purchase order or blanket purchase order).
You may use the UW Travel Card only for expenses related to the following official UW business while on travel status:
In addition, you may use the UW Travel Card for non-reimbursable expenses where it is not practical for a merchant to separate the non-reimbursable charges onto a different bill (e.g., in-room movie or mini-bar charges).
Yes. As long as the supplier is a UW-registered supplier, use whichever method you prefer.
For any card that falls under company US01745 (UW Corporate Travel Accounts), the Pin is optional; it may not be requested at the point of sale. It is up to the merchant whether or not they require the Pin. It is an extra added layer of security.

If a new card is ordered on a field advance request, it takes up to 5-7 business days to arrive. We will notify the custodian and cardholder when we receive the Western Union debit card. The card will be available for pick up at our office or, we can send via campus mail.
Once the card is received by the cardholder, the field advance desk must be notified by email at: fieldadv@uw.edu so, it can be activated and loaded with funds.
To add a file with no additional spend down:
The receipts must be uploaded and saved before the budget number and object code is entered into the system.
The “In Process” yellow tab will expand. To enter the budget number to charge, click on “New Detail”. Enter the budget number and select the object code. After the information is entered, click “Save Detail” and confirmed, a new line will appear to enter another expense item. PCA Task, Option & Project are optional.
Enter shipping, handling, discounts and tax exactly as listed on the invoice.
If there is no tax listed on the invoice, enter $0 in the sales tax line.
ARIBA has built-in functionality to check for Use Tax. DO NOT calculate Use Tax and enter it in the sales tax line. Doing so will pay the sales tax directly to the supplier, who did not invoice for it.
The Reviewer on the field advance request is also the Reviewer for the reconciliation. If the Reviewer is no longer with the department, please contact the field advance desk to change.
After the spend down is submitted, funds that remain on the per diem debit card, cash or check are to be returned.
The Requested – Total Submitted – Total Posted = Amount Remaining (ALL returned funds)
If there are remaining funds on the per diem debit card, the field advance desk will remove from the card.
If returning cash/check, please contact the field advance desk.
Yes, a Custodian can have multiple field advances as long as they are not overdue. The field advance must be reconciled in the order received. In addition, the dates of the receipts must match the date range the advance was open to final accounting date.

The Send PO to field appears for the line item as you are adding if the supplier you select is NOT Ariba Enabled. You will need to enter an EMAIL (preferred) or a fax number into the Send PO To field for the supplier that specifies where the order should be sent. This is called a Manual Order. Procurement Services will email a PDF of the EI order and any attachments that have been marked as Visible to Supplier to the email address you provide. You (the preparer) and the requester (if you submit this on behalf of someone else) will be copied on the EMAIL from Procurement Services. It is very important that the EMAIL/fax information in the Send PO To field be valid. A bad email address or fax number can cause delays in processing your order.
