Several years ago based on campus user requirements, we created a customization to ARIBA to include the Date Attached timestamp field because the out-of-the box software did not have a field that recorded when an attachment was added.
In release 9r2, ARIBA added the Date Created field for attachments, so currently there are 2 dates for attachments:
- Date Attached – UW Customization
- Date Created – ARIBA 9r2 Enhancement
The fields are calculated differently and are populated at different times. The new Date Created field appears immediately when the user adds the attachment but has not submitted yet. The Date Attached column is blank before Submit, but then displays when you go back and view the transaction.
In a future release of the ARIBA system, we will be removing the Date Attached customized field and keeping the ARIBA Date Created field.
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.
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.

My vendor didn't charge tax but probably should have. Where do I enter the tax on my Non-PO Invoice?
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 supplier added the wrong tax amount to the invoice. How should I enter tax in my Non-PO Invoice?
Add the amount listed on the invoice.
ARIBA will automatically calculate the correct tax rate, based on the delivery address you entered on the first page, and charge the appropriate tax to your budget.
If the supplier billed less than the current tax rate, they will receive payment for the amount of tax that they invoiced. The remaining amount will be paid to the State of Washington as Use Tax.
If the supplier billed more tax, ARIBA will short-pay the invoice to the correct tax rate and only that amount will be paid to the supplier.
