Santa Clara University’s supplier onboarding involves self-registration on the part of the supplier. The Supplier Registration team (shared between Procurement and Accounts Payable) helps in reviewing Payment Requester-initiated Supplier Registration Requests (SRRs) in Workday and sending out the invitation emails to the supplier contact.
Contact: Supplier Registration team (SupplierRegistration@scu.edu)
Getting Started
Users must be assigned to the Payment Requester security role in order to submit an SRR. Access can be requested using the Workday Financials Security Role Request Form.
Use the “Find Suppliers” report in Workday to see if the supplier already exists in Workday. The user must be assigned to the Payment Requester security role.
Invitation Process
SRRs are handled through the Workday Request framework.
The Supplier Registration team will pause requests if they notice:
- The supplier already exists in Workday.
- The goods/services sought by the new supplier could be fulfilled by an existing supplier at a better price.
- The SRR is for a current SCU student or employee:
- See the guide on how to submit student payments for stipends, awards, and reimbursements.
- Employees who performed additional work for their department outside of their job should be paid via supplemental pay. Reach out to Payroll at Human Resources for guidance.
- The intent is to pay an honorarium to an organization.
- Honoraria are payable to the individual who volunteered/spoke at the event, and therefore cannot be paid to an organization. A speaker can donate the payment to their organization of choice afterwards.
No. The approval of the SRR indicates that the onboarding invitation was sent to the supplier contact provided. The supplier should now register in Workday for the Supplier Registration team to review.
SRR: Workday Notification Process Changes
The requester will receive a final notification in Workday once the supplier has been fully onboarded into Workday.
The Supplier Registration team will follow up with the supplier three (3) times via email before stopping due to inactivity. The requester will then be notified and asked to help in getting in touch with the supplier contact.
