The purpose of the Goods Receipt (GR) is to record receipt of goods or services as soon as they are delivered and verified to be in acceptable condition. A Goods receipt must be posted in SAP for all items actually received. Vendors submit invoice(s) referencing the purchase order (PO) directly to Accounts Payable after delivery, indicating that the goods or services have been provided and requesting payment. Accounts Payable then reviews the vendor invoice, purchase order, and goods receipt in SAP to perform the required three-way match (PO, GR, and vendor invoice) before processing payment. 1. The Accounts Payable team will collaborate with the Procurement Services Division to establish and implement a process that ensures the timely review and reconciliation of Goods Receipt (GR) entries. This will include the development of clear guidance / training materials for schools and offices to periodically review their GR balances. Training will be conducted via Virtual Office Hours on a quarterly basis for sites to make necessary adjustments when the goods or services received differ from the original Purchase Order (PO) or the corresponding invoice. 2. The Accounts Payable team will collaborate with the Procurement Services Division to develop supplemental documentation and guidance regarding proof of delivery for goods and services received. 3. Accounts Payable staff will receive ongoing training throughout the year on documentation and reconciliation requirements, particularly when new internal controls, procedures, and processes are created. Training will be incorporated into regular team meetings, procedural updates, and onboarding for new team members to maintain alignment and accuracy across the department. The implementation target date for the above corrective action plan is June 30, 2026. Name: Rocio Saucedo Title: Director of Accounts Payable Contact Information: Rocio.Saucedo@lausd.net
