Vendor PO Payments
A Purchase Order (PO) is needed for all invoices to be paid through the Accounts Payable system. POs must be prepared through the Workday system by the end user and approved by Purchasing before an order is placed for goods or services. All invoices to be paid through Accounts Payable require the following for payment to be processed:
- A valid, unexpired PO number must be on each invoice, not in an attached document or email.
- The PO must have sufficient funds to cover the full amount of the invoice(s).
- If additional items are ordered on the same PO, the invoice cannot be paid until additional funds are added to the PO to create a match.
- The vendor “remit to” address on the invoice must match the vendor “remit to” address on the PO.
- Invoices for one company cannot be paid to an affiliate company. The vendor name on the invoice and the name on the departmental PO must agree.
- Valid, unexpired work tag and spending category are required for payments as necessary.
- Payments for invoices requiring department’s approval will not be released until the department approves the receiving document sent to them.
- Invoices for foreign vendors require the completion of a W-8BEN (for individuals) and W-8BEN-E (for entities) available on the IRS website. These payments may be subjected to withholding tax.

Accounts Payable FAQs
- How do I submit an invoice for payment?
Log into Workday, select UM Quicklink then Option 2, Invoice Submission Form - Accounts Payable. Complete the form and upload the document.
- How should vendors submit invoices?
Vendors may use the Accounts Payable mailbox, umiamiap@miami.edu, or send the invoices via US mail. If the PO # is not on the invoice, payment cannot be made.
- How can I ensure that my vendors get paid timely?
The invoice must be sent directly to Accounts Payable with the correct PO # noted on the invoice. If there is no PO#, there can be no payment. A requisition # should not be given to a vendor in order to acquire goods/services. Wait for the PO to be processed before ordering.
- Can payment be made from a packing slip if the prices are listed?
No. Payments are made from invoices only. Packing slips, acknowledgements, quotes, statements or any other non-invoice document should not be sent to Accounts Payable.
- How may I look up payment information in Workday?
You may use the Procurement Tip Sheet in Workday. To access the Tip Sheet, from Workday, select Option 4, Workday Finance Tip Sheets. Scroll down the page and select Procurement. From the Procurement page, under Business Process, select Locate Payment Details for a PO.
