Overview
Learn how to update the POETAF or chart string being used to pay for a Purchase Order Invoice
Critical Concepts
- When reviewing Invoices as a Financial Unit approver, it is important to check for POET information on the approval email or Oracle notification
- If different, a different POET or chart string should be used, then the update needs to take place at the Purchase Order level
- The required process will depend on whether Invoices have already been received or paid against the Purchase Order already
- To correct Invoices that have already been paid on the incorrect POET or chart string, a Cost Transfer will need to be processed
Steps to Take
