Recent updates were made to the Shipping Guide and Procedures section on the Shipping – Business & Finance webpage to identify that any changes to shipping line-item amounts are required to be corrected through a change request. 

To maintain process efficiency, the Purchasing and Contract Management Office (PCMO) will no longer allow the inclusion of freight lines unless there is documentation (e.g. email) explicitly requiring a PO shipping line from the vendor. When freight fees are applicable, University Payables will accept invoices when departments select the correct FOB code, likely FOB30. 

Additional guidance can be found on the shipping page of the UIUC PCMO website.
