(Madison) How to Submit a Supplier Invoice Request in Workday

Instructions for submitting a supplier invoice request in Workday. Complete these steps for Alma invoices with a "non-default remit to" payment method. There are very few invoices that use this payment method.

The payment method for the Alma invoice indicates Non-default remit to. What does this mean?

Invoice paid via ACH or check, however the Workday default supplier remit-to is not the correct one for Library invoices and it is determined that it is not appropriate for the Library to update the default supplier remit-to. The majority of the invoices sent through the Alma-Workday integration use the default supplier remit-to in Workday. If an invoice went through the integration and the supplier does not have a default remit-to indicated in Workday, it will cause delays in payment.
