Dear Colleagues,

Business & Financial Services is excited to share that we are targeting the launch of a new streamlined supplier registration process for certain supplier categories by the end of this week!

To ensure you and your suppliers can take full advantage of the new process, we recommend pausing new supplier requests for the following types until the new process is officially announced as live:

1. Reimbursement/Refund Only – For Concur travel/non-travel expense reimbursements and ePay refunds.
2. Stipend – For payments to non-UCR students and non-employees participating in a UC special program designed to promote college success or a sponsored research training program. UCR student payments must be processed through Banner.
3. Honorarium – For payments to non-employees and non-UCR students in recognition of a special service or distinguished achievement. Payments to employees must be processed through payroll and payments to students must be processed through Banner (student information system).

Requests submitted now for these categories will not benefit from the new process. Please note that only the supplier request types listed above are impacted—other supplier registration processes remain unchanged at this time.

More information and training materials on how to use the new process will be shared soon—stay tuned!
