§ 513.505-3 - Standard Form 44, Purchase Order-Invoice-Voucher.

(a) General. Use of the Standard Form 44 will not serve the best interest of either the Government or business when the accounting system of the seller requires production of an invoice as a matter of routine. In these cases, other authorized methods of making simplified acquisitions should be used. Whenever possible, preference should be given to the use of Governmentwide commercial purchase card.

(b) Issuance of books from stock. SF 44 books will be issued to contracting directors or their designees. Contracting directors are responsible for the custody and issuance of books to the users.
