Invoice Number The Invoice number as printed on the invoice or the date of purchase, if no invoice number is available. There should be only one invoice for every voucher. If there is another voucher with the same supplier and invoice number, it will not pass budget check. Faculty/Staff Reimbursements: Put the date from the receipt in MMDDYY format and a very short description of the transaction. The invoice number prints out on the check and should help a faculty or staff member understand why they are being reimbursed. For instance, if a faculty member purchased some incidental supplies on April 3, 2015 for a biology class, the invoice number might be: 04032015 Supplies BIOL1105
Date This is the date listed on the Invoice or receipt. This date has nothing to do with the budget year to be charged.
Total The total amount owed to the Supplier.
Difference For multiple line vouchers, how much money still needs to be entered on the voucher? This is the difference between the total amount of the Voucher and the total amounts entered on the voucher lines.

If you find that you are having difficulty finding the Supplier you wish to use, you may want to use the Supplier Search in the Supplier menu. This search is much more robust and allows you to search for your Supplier by the full name, Tax ID number, active vs. inactive, address, etc. Be sure to save your Requisition before visiting the Supplier Search or you will lose your work.
If, after using the Supplier Search, you still do not find the Supplier you are looking for, you are likely working with a new Supplier that will have to be established in the system by either Accounts Payable or Purchasing. You will need to proceed with the Supplier Registration process. Instructions for doing this can be found in the next section.

Baylor New Supplier Request Process Users should begin the process of requesting a new supplier at the beginning of the purchase cycle, instead of the end. This process is intended for regular suppliers, foreign suppliers, employees or students.
There are over 15,000 suppliers in our system. Please make sure you carefully check the Supplier Search to ensure that the supplier doesn’t already exist in our system (see more detailed instructions in this document if you are not familiar with the Supplier Search). After ensuring the supplier does not exist, proceed with the New Supplier Request, as outlined in the steps below. This process should be started as far in advance of the purchase as possible in order to ensure the supplier information is made available from the TRAX supplier database for you to complete your requisition or voucher. Please allow up to two weeks for this process to be completed.

PO Vouchers PO Vouchers are typically entered by Accounts Payable. When an invoice is received, send your invoice to AP for entry. The best way to send your documentation to AP is to scan and email it to Accounts_Payable@baylor.edu. AP will create the voucher and send you a notification to approve. The process is similar to the one outlined on page 29.
Cancel a voucher Accounts Payable is the only department that has the ability to cancel a Voucher once it is created and saved. In the event you wish to cancel a Voucher, email Accounts_Payable@baylor.edu. Be sure to include the Voucher number in your message.
