As the result of a process change which was finalized on February 18, 2004, Departments will notice the improved timeliness of the posting of OfficeMax charges to accounts.

Beginning with purchases invoiced on February 18, 2004, OfficeMax invoices will appear on ACBL lookups (Fig 1.) and expense reports (Fig 2.) as Journal Entries rather than as Vouchers. Charges to each GL account will now appear within three business days after delivery rather than two or more weeks. The amount charged to each account will now match the amount shown on your packing slip. Vouchering individual OfficeMax invoices ended with purchases invoiced on February 17, 2004.

If you plan to order equipment from OfficeMax, which is $100.01 or greater or which is considered high risk, please use an account with an equipment object code (742510). If object code 742510 is not available in your OfficeMax profile for the account you wish to use, e-mail .
