Vendor Management
Accounts Payable is tasked with collecting and maintaining data required to accurately and securely remit payment to suppliers of goods and services. While Accounts Payable remits payment to a variety of payees, the terms "vendor" or "supplier" are broadly used to refer to the majority of non-employee payees.
Procurement is responsible for all other facets of purchasing goods and services required by the university. All questions regarding vendor selection, contracting with vendors, placing orders, creating purchase orders, etc. should be directed to Procurement.
