Prepayments are FULL payments that are made PRIOR to receipt of goods or services. Prepayments are allowed for CERTAIN expenditures normally prepaid as a standard industry practice or where such prepayments are considered cost beneficial to the Commonwealth. A deposit (partial payment PRIOR to receipt of any good/service) is separate and distinct from a prepayment (payment IN FULL PRIOR to receipt of any good/service).
For TRAVEL-RELATED prepayments (such as conference or registration fees, airfare, shuttles, etc.) please use the links below for detailed information:
Conference or Registration Fee
Airfare OR Rail (including VRE)
Car Rentals
Internet Purchases
For NON travel-related prepayments per CAPP topic 20310, such as maintenance agreements, subscriptions, professional membership and insurance, use the table below. The prepayments listed in the table below are for services or benefits that cover a specified period of time. For example, a membership usually covers a period of time lasting one year, or a subscription to a journal usually lasts a year.
Depending upon the type of of pre-payment, the pre-payment may be entered into Banner as a Direct Pay; may be paid using the SPCC; or may be entered into eVA to create a purchase order. Whatever method is used, the length of the service or provision must always be documented. Reference the month and year only. For example, a subscription expenditure (account code 71222S) may be written like this “Sept 2018-Sept 2019.”
- If entering in Banner as a Direct Pay, indicate the length of service on the Direct Pay paperwork.
- If using the SPCC, in WORKS, indicate the length of service by using the drop down menu for a Prepay Start and Prepay End Date (instead of typing in the dates).
- If using eVA, indicate the length of service on the eVA form.
