Accounts Payable

Welcome to Accounts Payable!
The Accounts Payable department at GVSU processes hundreds of invoices each day.  By following a few simple steps you can help us expedite the payment process.

  • Whenever possible, use your department or individual expense card for smaller purchases
  • Make sure to have the vendor's current Taxpayer Identification Form (W9, W8 BEN or W8 BEN-E) on file

Using New Suppliers- If the supplier is not already in Workday, you will need to ask the supplier for their completed Taxpayer Identification Form (W9, W8 BEN or W8 BEN-E.)  If they do not have one, they will need to complete the appropriate blank form listed below. This information will need to be attached in Workday when requesting a new supplier.
