eShop’s cheque requisition form is used to request payment to an individual, vendor or contractor for transactions under $25,000 and/or when no purchase order has been issued. Understanding when and how to use a cheque requisition form to request payment may help reduce the possibility that your cheque requisition could get rejected or delayed.
When to use …
- Low dollar value purchases or transfers of funds may be requested on a cheque requisition with the appropriate supporting documentation (e.g. an invoice), provided a purchase order was not issued.
Remember …
- Invoices from Internal Service Providers (ISP) (e.g. FMP, The Print Shop) should not be paid through the cheque requisition form.
How to use …
- One cheque requisition form has to be submitted for each invoice in its own cart.
- All relevant supporting documentation must be attached to the cheque requisition.
- Supporting documentation is most often an invoice. Make sure that you attach the actual invoice and not a quote or an account statement.
- If payment is for an event costing more than $2500, written pre-approval must be attached.
