Accounts Payable

Procedure Updates Due to Coronavirus

Accounts Payable (AP) is continuing their efforts to decrease the amount of suppliers paid via check.  Employees that work with suppliers paid via paper check should follow the guidance in the Supplier Payments section on the main Finance Division Coronavirus Information page to ensure that payments can be made electronically. 

AP is continuing to perform outreach to employees who have not completed the required information to receive their expense report payments electronically via direct deposit. For an employee to receive their expense report reimbursement via direct deposit, the AP Employee Expense Direct Deposit Form must be completed and emailed to AP at AP-Supplier-doc@andrew.cmu.edu. The AP Employee Expense Direct Deposit form is available on the Finance Forms page in both PDF and Word versions. Note: Direct deposit information that was completed in Workday for an employee’s payroll direct deposit does not sync between Oracle and Workday.

For additional AP information regarding procedure updates due to coronavirus, please visit www.cmu.edu/finance/coronavirus/index.html. For questions, contact AP at ap-help@andrew.cmu.edu.
