The Accounts Payable (AP) team is responsible for the preparation and processing of payments.
Accounts Payable Processing
Responsibility is based on an alpha distribution – for inquiries, please contact:
A - H
I - #
Clarifications on alpha distribution:
- If the supplier’s name begins with ‘A’ or ‘THE’ as the start of their company name, the alpha is determined on the second name of the company. For example, A Party Place is processed under the P’s and The Alma Mater Society is processed under the A’s.
- If the supplier’s official business name contains an initial to start, the initial determines the alpha. For example, J. Smith Plumbing is processed under the J’s.
