When do I add UF employees and students as a UF vendor? What information do you need?
UF employees and students being reimbursed or refunded for out of pocket expenses other than those processed through the Travel module need to be added as a vendor. Please include their UFID number in the request and indicate what specifically is being reimbursed. No paperwork is required.

For UF employees being paid as a Research Participant, please make payments to them using the Payroll module through "Additional Pay." Do not add them as a vendor. For more information, please refer to the Additional Pay instruction guide on the myUFL toolkits pages.

Domestic Consultants, Research Participants and individuals who are not UF employees performing services are required to supply the following information:

Domestic Companies, non-affiliated individuals, government agencies, educational facilities, associations, organizations, etc. providing goods or performing services are required to supply the following three forms available on the Bridges Web site > Services > Vendors:

Please make sure you have all required paperwork prior to sending a new vendor request to addvendor@ufl.edu. The vendor will not be added until all required paperwork is completed and received.

What additional steps are required for adding foreign companies or individuals as a UF vendor?
If it is a foreign vendor, the request must be pre-approved by University Tax Services (UTS) before added to the PeopleSoft vendor file. UTS should be contacted at 352-392-1324 for approval. UTS will then submit approved foreign vendors to addvendor@ufl.edu for input.

How will I know the vendor was actually added to the PeopleSoft vendor file?

You have two options:

  1. Navigate in myUFL to Vendor > Set Up Maintenance > Vendor Information. Best practice for searching for a vendor is to use "contains" option with the Name 1 field, put one word from the vendor name into the Name 1 field. If there are no results that match what you are looking for, search ShortName "contains" and put just the first eight (8) letters of the first word in the company name or individual's last name.

    After finding your vendor, please be sure to click VIEW ALL in the Address tab so that all available addresses will appear. For more information, an instruction guide called Finding Vendors is available on the myUFL toolkits pages.

  2. Request that the vendor send you the information required by UF then fax the information to Vendor Maintenance at 352-392-0081 with your email request on the coversheet or as an attachment. If all required information is received, you will then receive an email confirmation that the vendor has been added.
