16.2 Invoice - Voucher for Goods or Services, CO-17

FORM NAME: INVOICE - VOUCHER FOR GOODS OR SERVICES RENDERED TO THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT
PURPOSE: Submitted or electronically transmitted to the Comptroller's Accounts Payable Division for all vendor payment claims
DISTRIBUTION: COMPTROLLER, AGENCY

COMPLETION INSTRUCTIONS:

Invoices must be submitted in batches with an Expenditure Batch Header, Form C0-19, attached as a cover sheet.

This form is used to present a claim against the state for goods sold or services rendered. It is normally prepared by both the vendor and the state agency, however, it is permissible for the state agency to complete the entire form.

All pertinent sections of the C0-17 must be completed with a full description of the claimed expenses. Do not use the statement "see attached invoice", without an explanation of what the claim is for. If a vendor invoice is attached, one of the following explanations must be provided: "services as per attached", "goods as per attached", "repair as per attached".

The document type, entered in block 3, varies with the usage of this form:

a) If the invoice is being submitted for a contracted good or service, the document type to be used is "IN".

b) If this document will produce a check for more than one payee which share the same billing ID and reportable type, the document type must be entered as "IL" for this C0-17 and an invoice listing, form C0-17L, must be attached. On the batch header, (form C0-19), the box for payee list must be checked.

ACCOUNTING MANUAL 6-59 DECEMBER 1998

52 characters of billing identification are provided for printing vendor information on the state check which will assist the vendor in reconciling the payment with his records. Abbreviations and acronyms in the vendor's language (per vendor statement) may also be used to identify the check payment thus reducing correspondence and telephone verifications. Use Remittance Statement Form CO-894 if it exceeds the above limitations.

Invoices requesting checks "returned to agency" must be completed in accordance with procedures approved by the Comptroller's Accounts Payable Division. These requests are generally due to circumstances warranting agency handling. All such claims are subject to post audit, complete justification, and supporting documentation.

The vendor's full name and address should be provided so that payment can be made by mail. Boxes 12 through 19, and 31 must be completed. This information is mandatory for payment.

Paperless processing agencies:

The hard copy form must be completed as described above and retained by the agency under the conditions agreed to in the paperless processing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The Invoice/Voucher for Goods or Services (CO-17) must be signed by the individual preparing/entering the document or the person receiving the goods or services rendered.
