OK
to Pay Invoice
A
department can initiate a non-contract order directly with a vendor
for goods and services up to the dollar limit specified in the
Controller's
Office Fact Sheet, except for goods and services restricted
to the Purchasing Department and items covered by Policy 3220
Purchase of Restricted Items.
Such
orders do not involve the Purchasing Department and do not generate
a purchase order. Vendor
invoices for these orders are to be sent directly to the department
that placed the order.
These
are known as "OK to Pay" invoices. The department
authorizes and submits these invoices for payment - see Procedure
3401
PR.4 Submitting Invoices for Payment.

General Purchasing Policy and 3401
General Payment Policy.
