Special Notes:

  • While this form has many purposes, there are two reoccurring misuses of this form. (1) When ordering goods or materials in excess of $500, a University Purchase order is required, and (2) Payments for services provided by individuals who are Brown
    students or employees must be processed through Payroll Office.

  • Two copies of the check invoice form are required because one copy is returned with the check. Copies of supporting documentation are not required by accounts payable.
