Invoice Number Guidelines for Supplier Invoices

Supplier invoices should contain an invoice number. Invoice numbers help to identify payments, ensure payments are made to the correct supplier, prevent duplicate payments, and track invoices. The invoice number should be assigned to the invoice by the supplier. If you receive a supplier invoice without an invoice number, you should ask the supplier to resubmit it with a unique invoice number.

A reminder will be sent to ServiceNow tickets submitted to the CBO with invoices that do not contain an invoice number. However, starting March 1, any invoices lacking an invoice number will be returned to the Department to obtain an invoice from the supplier with an assigned invoice number.
