An invoice must have:

  • It must be labeled as an invoice (quotes and pro forma invoices are not accepted)
  • A valid Rutgers University purchase order number listed on the invoice itself (invoices submitted without a valid purchase order will not be processed)
  • Bill to "Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey"
  • A unique invoice number and an invoice date (duplicate invoice numbers and invoices without dates will not be accepted)
  • Rutgers ordering and ship-to contact information
  • The supplier's remit to address
  • A description of the goods or services
  • The total amount due
  • If taxable and non-taxable items are included on same invoice, separate the total taxable and total non-taxable amounts (preferred)
  • File must be one of the following file types: .PDF, .DOC/.DOCX, .TIF/.TIFF or .JPEG/.JPG." (excel is not acceptable)
