SCM Invoice Project Moving Forward

TIPS & TRICKS2USE
BEARBUY
I returned an item that I purchased using a BearBuy Purchase Order (PO), but the PO is now closed. Do I need to submit a BearBuy Change Order Request to reopen the PO and process the credit memo? 

No, you do not need to submit a Change Order Request to reopen the PO to process the credit memo. The UCSF department also does not need to submit the credit memo for processing. If the supplier submits invoices through Transcepta, they should send the credit memo through Transcepta as well.
An invoice was attached to the Change Order Request that I submitted to reopen a purchase order (PO). Why was the invoice not paid? 

After the PO has been reopened, suppliers that submit invoices through Transcepta should submit additional invoices through Transcepta. This should not be done by the UCSF department. 
Where can I find the payment status of a voucher (invoice) in BearBuy?
  
For step-by-step instructions, review the Payment Status training materials on the SCM website. For help, submit a ticket to SCM Response Team.
