Disbursement Voucher
The Disbursement Voucher is used to reimburse Indiana University employees, non-employees, and other vendors for expenses incurred while conducting university business, performing a service, or providing material goods for the university.
These should be used any time a check is needed in lieu of a payment which does not go through the procurement cycle. The procurement cycle is the process of initiating a requisition, creating a purchase order, and making a payment through Accounts Payable. The Disbursement Voucher and the Purchase Order (PO) are used for different reasons. If you are unsure whether to use the DV or the PO, please contact the Administration & Finance office.
