Vendor Registration and PaymentWorks

In the April 21 Procurement Services Announcement, we communicated the Payment Works system is now live for vendor onboardings.  Please note that this system has changed the process for vendors to register with UA.  Vendors can no longer use the Accounts Payable Vendor Registration site to “self-register.”  The link included on this site is for UA employees to log in to PaymentWorks and initiate invitations to vendors.  Vendors cannot use the link on the website to “self-register” as they must receive an invitation from a UA employee.  See the below FAQs.

What will change for UA Employees?

All UA employees are “initiators” that will invite vendors to connect with the University through PaymentWorks. As an initiator in PaymentWorks, you can send out requests to prospective vendors so they can complete the registration process. You can do this through invitations that you send using the vendor’s e-mail address. Once you send an invitation, the vendor will have the opportunity to complete a New Vendor Registration form and submit their information. You will no longer send vendors the link to the registration site to register.

What will change for UA’s vendors?

Vendors can no longer locate UA’s vendor registration site to “self-register.” Only vendors that are invited to connect through PaymentWorks will be established as vendors. Vendors will submit and update their business information through PaymentWorks. The system includes additional functionality for vendors to view the status of their payments.
