ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

The Accounts Payable department is a unit within Procurement Services. Accounts Payable is responsible for processing the payment of goods and services to vendors in compliance with U-M standard practices, external regulations and requirements. The payment processes that are administered by Payables include: Purchasing Cards, Travel and Business Hosting Expense Reports, Non-Purchase Order Payments, Purchase Order Payments and eBilling.

The Vendor Maintenance Team, also a part of Accounts Payable, is charged with the maintenance of the University's supplier database. The M-Pathways Vendor Database is an electronic means of storing information about suppliers who supply goods and services to the University.  A supplier’s record must exist in the database before you can complete a procurement transaction (e.g., ePro req, Non-PO Voucher) for that supplier.
