The following payment methods and terms are available to University
vendors.
◦ E-Payables – This is the university’s preferred method of payment. The
terms for E-Payables are net and the vendor will be able to process these
payments as soon as their invoices are approved in accordance with policy.
NET (Payable immediately); IRIS CODE “E”
◦ Direct Deposit (ACH) – If the vendor is unable or unwilling to accept Epayables as a method of payment, the university prefers to pay them via an
electronic payment directly into their bank account. NET 30 (Payable in 30
days); IRIS CODE “A”
◦ Check – This is the most expensive method for the university to pay
vendors and will only be permitted in special circumstances and requires
approval from the Treasurer’s Office. The payment terms for this method
is NET 40 (Payable in 40 days). IRIS CODE “C”

If a NEW vendor chooses NOT to complete the Payment Selection
Form or desires to have check payment the department will have
to contact Cindy Stockdale in the UT Treasurer’s Office at
cstockda@tennessee.edu to request an exception.
The email should explain why the vendor request payment by
check only. IF the Treasurer’s Office allows the exception the
department will scan the exception email from the Treasurer’s
Office with the Vendor Payment Selection Form and this two page
document will be attached in IRIS.
If this form has banking information filled in then the form
should be:
 uploaded in IRIS (for new vendor request or requesting remit address)

The next time you pay an independent contractor or an
individual the departmental administrative specialist should
verify that all forms have been updated. Updated forms can be
verified using IRIS transaction ZAP_VENDOR_ATTACHMTS.
If forms are not updated you must have:

 WCQ
 Vendor Payment Selection Form-we should encourage vendor to select
either E-payables or ACH payment option. If they wish to stay with
check payment they should complete the form and indicate “refused”
and sign it. In this situation attach the “refused” form and email to
ap_vendor@tennessee.edu along with updated W-9/Minority Status
Form and the WCQ.
