Date posted: March 19, 2025 Author: Aris Andrade
If you process contracts for vendor services, please note that a fully signed contract does not automatically trigger vendor payment. Additional steps may be required to ensure proper processing and payment.
More Information:
Important Notice for Vendor-Service Contracts
If you process contracts for vendor services, please note that a fully signed contract does not automatically trigger vendor payment. The project manager (the employee overseeing the contract) must verify that the service was delivered and obtain an invoice from the vendor before submitting a requisition for payment.
Next Steps for Payment Processing:
- Submit a requisition in ctcLink and attach the fully executed contract (not the CSA—just the contract).
- Include the contract number (found in the footer of the agreement) to link the contract with the payment.
- Once the requisition is submitted, a purchase order (P.O.) will be generated to pay the vendor.
- If the vendor prefers to receive payment via wire transfer, download the ACH Authorization Form from SharePoint.
