I love purpose/benefits statements.

easjer05 · April 2009

I'm approving payment vouchers for people in our division who don't have approving authority (I work for the division office), and all payments require a statement which gives the purpose of the purchase and the benefit to the company. My own are always short and sweet (like: Business meal with X and Y to discuss policy initiatives. Administrative support.)

Other people do really long, windy ones.

Like - Purchase of a new, black, ergonomic chair for new supervisor H, as the previous supervisor's chair exacerbated her sciatica. This will allow the new supervisor H to perform her job more efficiently and comfortably.

Well then! I never knew chairs made you more efficient. I wonder if that will work on my boss. . .

One time I was approving purchase vouchers for a department we usually don't handle. It was a rental truck for a cheerleading group for this event. The p/b said: Rental of cheer. Logistical event support.

I thought that was awesome. I'd love to rent cheer.

I love it. Forms are fun.

Oh, and as much as I would love to rent cheer, I denied payment until they corrected the p/b statement to reflect that it was rental of a truck for cheerleading group, rather than rental of cheer.

We don't have an appropriate accounting code for rental of cheer.
