Shipping/Freight Charges
To help minimize eVA fees, enter a separate line item in eVA for shipping or freight charges using commodity code 96286. When some purchases are made through Amazon, for example, instead of placing the order in eVA as a lump sum purchase, create a separate line item for the shipping cost. This will save the University money in the long run, as eVA does not charge fees for shipping.
——————————————————————————-
Amazon Order Reminder
When submitting an order in eVA with Amazon as the vendor, please select the option for “AMAZON COM LLC” in both the supplier name and location name. This is the only selection which will allow you to select your p-card.
——————————————————————————-
EVA Changes Ahead
To support the Commowealth of Virginia accounting system migration, all UMW vendors must be registered in eVA, with the exception of credit card orders (PCO). If you have upcoming or recurring purchases to non-registered (non-PCO) vendors, please encourage them to register promptly to avoid a delay in the order process.
