Accounts Payable strongly encourages the campus to submit Purchase Order invoices through the e-Invoice portal. Save yourself some time and refrain from sending PO invoices through campus mail or emailing them to the Accounts Payable staff.

e-Invoice is a quick and convenient method to submit purchase order invoices to Accounts Payable for payment processing. Users can upload PO invoices in a dedicated portal located in the Accounts Payable section of the Finance website.

Some benefits to using e-Invoice are:

• reduce paper usage which is better for the environment
• efficient processing for payment by Accounts Payable* 
• and most of all, invoices will be viewable via FTS on the requisition**

*  e-Invoice payment processing often generates Action Required notifications for Approval to Pay or CFS Receipt. Accounts Payable now has a dedicated email address to handle your responses. When you are ready to send  your Approval to Pay or CFS Receipt #, forward the Action Required notification email to reply-to-accounts-payable@sjsu.edu.

This will allow all of the Accounts Payable Technicians access to your responses in order to move your PO invoices through the payment process, helping to avoid unnecessary 2nd or 3rd notifications.

** An e-Invoice link appears on all requisitions, but only invoices submitted through e-Invoice will be available to view.

   c)  Additional details or other info regarding the payment can also be written on the invoice.
