The Disbursement's office needs the original document plus one copy when
processing certain documents.  Once reviewed, we send the original document
of T-27, contract  and invoice payments to individuals to Central
Accounting in Knoxville.   We are required to keep a copy on these
documents on file in our office.  Although we process T-29 payments in this
office, we send a copy to the vendor for support. In order to serve you
more efficiently and to avoid unnecessary delays, please provide a copy
(along with the original) of the above documents when requesting payment.

  We do not need a copy of regular invoices, the original is processed and
kept in the Disbursement's office for audit and review.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Disbursements
office at 4537.  I may also be reached at 4536.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
