PGE has a power outage planned for Monday, Sept. 12, and Tuesday, Sept. 13, in the evening. Because of the Friendsview construction along Fulton Street, PGE is shutting off power for a few hours each night for buildings and homes serviced in the area while they bring the electrical system online.
Buildings affected could be: Bauman, Brougher, Duke, Fulton Street House, Minthorn, Murdock Library, Nash House, North Street Annex, Ross, Roy Apartments, Stouffer Stadium, and Wheeler.
The planned outages are Monday, Sept. 12, from 5 to 10 p.m. and Tuesday, Sept. 13, from 6 to 10 p.m. If each evening’s work is successful, the power may be restored before 10 p.m. on that night.
Remember that if the power is out in an academic building (e.g. Bauman, Duke, Minthorn, Murdock Library, North Street Annex, Ross, Wheeler, etc.), the building must be evacuated until the power is restored. This is for your safety. Thank you!

In order to process an invoice, the Accounts Pay team needs all of the below-mentioned information:
AP receives a multitude of emailed payment requests, and there is a high probability of those getting buried, especially in cases wherein any of the above information is missing in the email.
To comply with audit requirements, AP does not have access to the purchasing module, thus they are unable to themselves obtain PO &and receipt numbers from PeopleSoft.
In order to improve our current “Procure to Pay” process, and to help you to pay your invoices in a timely manner, we have released a Request for Payment form. This form replaces emailed and paper payment requests.
We are planning a formal training session in the coming months where we will share more information with you. In the meantime, feel free to email your questions to purchasing@georgefox.edu.
Thank you,
The Accounts Pay and Purchasing Teams
