116. Notification of the Receipt of Goods and Services to Accounts Payable
  It is the policy of the University to decentralize receiving. This places an obligation for follow-up on the departmental budget center administrators. Whenever possible, the Purchasing & Contracts Department will specify delivery destination to a particular office or location. 1161. Partial Ordered Received
1162. Cancellation of Part of an Order
1163. Short-Shipment
1164. Acceptance Of Quantity Greater Than Ordered
   
It is the policy of the University not to accept damaged material and to promptly report overages, shortages and incorrect delivery. Upon receipt of materials, either from internal delivery or direct from suppliers, departments should check the contents of shipments immediately for conformity with the packing slips and their outstanding requisitions.

When damaged material is detected while the carrier is present the bill of lading or receiving document should not be signed and the Purchasing & Contracts Department notified at once. The material should be returned via the carrier.

When damage is not discovered until the package is opened and after the carrier is gone, the facts should be reported to the Purchasing & Contracts Department immediately and the material should be kept as is until the claim inspection has been made. No material should be returned to a supplier without Purchasing & Contracts Department authorization.
