The UN/PD has prepared specific guidelines for recording/receiving of items delivered at a shipping point overseas where ownership is transferred to the UN before items are forwarded to the field office, including individual duties and responsibilities.

Involvement of the UN/PD and DFS
It should be noted, however, that the UN/PD is only involved in the "receiving" function in IMIS for purchase orders for goods (PG) issued by PD with INCOTERMS EXW and F- delivery terms.

The Department of Field Support (DFS) is responsible for the "receiving" function in IMIS for:
			purchase orders for goods (PG) issued by UN/PD with INCOTERMS C- and D- delivery terms, and
			the similar "receiving" function/task related to the purchase orders for goods issued directly by the field offices.
