Setting Up a New Supplier

NC State is partnered with PaymentWorks, a third-party onboarding platform, that eliminates the risk of business payments fraud and ensures regulatory compliance by automating the complex payee management process. The Supplier Information Manual for Campus provides step-by-step instructions for initiating supplier invitations.

To begin onboarding vendors external to the University, follow the instructions in Chapter 2:  Inviting Vendors to Connect.

EMPLOYEES: Active employees who receive a payment, such as a reimbursement, require a Supplier ID. Inactive employees who wish to be an independent contractor must wait until the new calendar year after termination to request a Supplier ID. To begin onboarding an employee as a supplier, follow the instructions listed in Chapter 5:  Onboarding Employees.

STUDENTS: Active students who receive a payment from NC State must have a Supplier ID. Please note that changes to student personal data or banking information must be made through the Student Homepage > Personal Information.

If your new supplier needs help navigating PaymentWorks here is a manual exclusively for our vendors to use to help them with this navigation.  Supplier Information Manual for Vendors.
