Invoices that do not have complete cost center will not be investigated by AP. The charge will be posted to the mailers primary DeptID and Account 5413, which has been obtained via PeopleSoft's chart of accounts, and reviewed by your school Budget Fiscal Officer or financial representative. Please note that Financial Services will not allow subsequent Expense Transfers for those charges defaulting to the Primary DeptID.
Account number 5413 will default on all Federal Express and DHL/Airborne charges.
