Subject:
Agency help is needed to ensure prompt vendor registration.
Guidance:
New York State agencies are responsible for or can assist with two critical registration processes that if done timely will benefit both agencies and vendors. These are: First, as soon as your agency has decided to do business with a vendor, begin the vendor add process. This will allow contracts and purchase orders to be entered and payments to be made. Second, strongly encourage vendors to register promptly for e-Supplier. This will allow vendors direct, 24-7 access to needed information regarding their invoices and payments without having to contact agencies or SFS. Vendors not on e-Supplier will not have direct access to this information. Attention to both processes, but especially registration with e-Supplier, will create a smooth experience for both agencies and vendors doing business with NYS.
