Do you need to mail a cheque to a PO Box Address?

When processing a one time only invoice, expense reimbursement cheque or invoice with individual payee in FIS, departments are required to enter the address of the payee.

Entering PO box addresses in AMS works a bit differently from a regular mailing address.

When addressing a cheque to a PO Box, enter the:

• PO Box # in the PO Box field
• Postal Code in the PO Box PCode field
• Street Number and Name (which PO Box sometimes have, but not always) in the second line of the Name field (see image below for illustration). Please do not enter the Street Address in the Street field like you do with a regular mailing address.

Please note that entering the address incorrectly may lead to a cheque not being issued or produces an incorrect address on the cheque and mailing envelope.

Any questions on how to appropriately enter your address in AMS, please contact .
