Introducing PaymentWorks~Our New Supplier Self-Service Portal
Category: Accounts Payable, For Suppliers, Alert, Featured, Purchasing, Training
Dear Colleagues,
On September 16, 2019, University Procurement Services will launch PaymentWorks, our new supplier portal. PaymentWorks will improve and streamline the way we onboard suppliers and manage supplier information, and help ensure that the university is compliant with federal and state laws and regulations.
To streamline our supplier onboarding process, PaymentWorks will:
- Include the details required for doing business with Rutgers,
- Reduce the occurrence of duplicate supplier records,
- Provide new supplier registration status tracking,
- Streamline supplier updates, and
- Provide direct visibility to suppliers for payment inquiries. This is a future phase enhancement and will not be available at launch.

Benefit for Rutgers: The ability to invite suppliers electronically to register and see the real-time status of the onboarding progress. It enables the University to move from the current manual process to an automated platform. Units will no longer have to obtain supporting documentation such as the W-9/W-8. Verification of sanctions and other compliance checks are required for recipients of federal funding.
Benefit for Suppliers: The ability to submit and update their information and supporting documentation.
Online training, including webinars, videos and job aids will be available through Canvas in the coming weeks for on-demand learning. Training will cover inviting suppliers, checking supplier onboarding statuses, and searching for suppliers in PaymentWorks.
Further communication will be forthcoming. For more information, please refer to the Becoming a Supplier page on the University Procurement Services website.
