Onboarding Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers can be invited to register as a Purdue vendor in PaymentWorks through two methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A campus faculty or staff member identifies a need to purchase goods or services from you or your company. The individual submits a purchase request to their purchasing center. The purchasing center forwards the request to a designated “Initiator” who launches the onboarding process by sending an invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, you or your company may be talking with a faculty or staff member about a possible sale of goods or services to Purdue. In this instance YOU may wish to initiate the onboarding process by requesting an invitation. Please see below for more information about both processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These procedures apply for all of our campuses.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t

After PaymentWorks and the Supplier Administration Team reviews and verifies registration information, you receive an automated approval email from PaymentWorks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendors with a current AribaNetwork Account can login to it to connect PO’s to that account. Vendors without an AribaNetwork account will be prompted to sign up for one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
