Accounts Payable
Find due dates, forms and submission deadlines for accounts payable to process checks at Lincoln University of Missouri.

All invoices, Check Request Forms, and Request for Check Forms must be submitted to Accounts Payable by Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. the day before the scheduled check run day on Wednesday.  In order for Accounts Payable to process your requests, the following MUST be met:

  • A requisition must be entered in Datatel. See the Datatel Requisition Manual for more information.
  • The requisition must be approved by all required approvers (see the Approvers section of the Datatel Requisition Manual for more information).
  • The requisition must have a Purchase Order or Blanket Purchase Order number assigned to it.
  • An Invoice, Check Request Form, or Request for Check Form must be received by Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. 

If any of these steps have NOT been met by the stipulated deadlines, your check will NOT be written. Accounts Payable puts every effort into meeting your requested deadlines. However, it is the responsibility of the requisitioner to make sure that the requisition is approved and a purchase order is assigned to your requisition prior to the submission deadline. The requisitioner's job does not end with the entry of the requisition. Again, failure to comply with these requests may result in your check not being printed.
