Receipts can be uploaded into Chrome River in various ways. The documents below will assist you in attaching them.
Original receipts must have the following information:
- business name
- date of purchase
- itemization of items purchased and their associated amounts
- total amount of purchase
- payment method
- shipping and handling (if applicable)
- tip/gratuity (if applicable)
- If any receipt cannot be read, it will potentially be deemed an unallowable expense and the cardholder will have to reimburse the university.
The Certified Statement for Receipts form is required when:
- a receipt is lost and a duplicate from the vendor is not available
- the receipt is illegible
- an itemized original receipt is not available from the vendor
Preparing the receipts for submission:
- Ensure receipts are facing the same direction when scanning.
- Do not write on the front or back of the receipts.
- If you highlight any of the information on the receipt it will be difficult to read.
Use the account code tool (excel) to locate the appropriate account code for the good or service purchased. Within each classification is a detailed description used to code purchases accurately.
