make payment receives the payment copy of the
purchase document on or before the date a
contractor invoice is received. To prioritize the
the following:
. Urgency of the requirement
. Payment terms of the order
. Oral/confirming orders
. Fast payment provisions
. Delivery requirements
. Any other factor that may prevent timely
processing of the contractors’ invoices for
payment

confirmed, the issuing activity should distribute
the purchase orders within 10 days after
confirmation. As an afloat command you should

will retain the original until the material or services
have been provided. You will then sign the
original and forward it along with the invoice to
the disbursing office for payment. A copy of the
original purchase should have been forwarded to
the contractor and also to the disbursing office
from the issuing activity.
