Payment Terms

Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services makes every effort to ensure timely processing of payment requests:

  1. Checks are issued twice a week.
  2. Payment is considered to be complete on the day the check is issued.
  3. If check pick-up is requested, it must be approved by the Associate Director of Procurement to Payment Services in advance.

The average processing time for payment requests depends on the transaction type:

  • Purchase Orders are paid within 30 days of invoice date. Purchase order invoices can be submitted to Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services by the supplier or department using the e-Invoice portal.

    Important: An invoice uploaded to the Requisition in FTS will serve as backup documentation for the request. The invoice will not be forwarded to Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services for payment.

  • Direct Payments are paid within two weeks of receipt in Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services.
  • Employee/Student Reimbursements are paid within two weeks of receipt in Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services.
  • Travel Reimbursements are paid within two weeks of receipt in Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services.

Payments may be delayed if:

  • The supplier has not registered through PaymentWorks
  • The supplier has not been entered in CFS
  • Supplier information is being verified by PaymentWorks
  • Supplier information is being reviewed by Strategic Sourcing - Payment Services
