Cancellation of International Payments Orders (IPO’s)
We have had a number of instances recently where IPO requests have been sent through to the Cashiers for payment and the invoice has subsequently been placed on hold on CUFS by departments but the payment has actually been made, we only become aware of this when the we try to apply the payment details to the invoice on CUFS.
If for any reason you plan/need to hold an invoice for payment where an IPO has already been requested, please advise the cashiers immediately at IPO@admin.cam.ac.uk so that they can hold and/or cancel the payment.
