New method of setting up and changing supplier information
Effective Dec. 30, Georgia Southern University will no longer use PaymentWorks software to onboard supplier information into PeopleSoft Financials. As part of this transition, campus departments should revert to prior processes to request new suppliers and changes to existing suppliers.
Requests for new suppliers or changes to existing suppliers should use a revised supplier information form. In the best interest of supplier security, the supplier information form must be requested through Accounts Payable (accountspayable@georgiasouthern.edu) or Procurement (purchasing@georgiasouthern.edu).
Campus departments should have suppliers return the supplier information forms directly to them, and then departmental contacts should forward the completed form to Accounts Payable or Procurement. Completed forms must include a campus contact and a Form W-9 must be included. Emails should include “supplier information forms” in the subject line. Forms without this information cannot be processed.
The decision to no longer use PaymentWorks was not made lightly. The University System of Georgia (USG) Office will launch a project to define business needs and select an alternate solution for supplier onboarding that will work for the entire USG system. More information will be shared once this project is further underway.
Any questions should be directed to Vickie Reid at 478-5009 or Daphne Burch at 478-5054.
