• Billed to ½­ÄÏÌåÓý
• Invoice number (preferred but not required)
• Invoice date
• Itemization of items/services purchased (i.e. what exactly is being paid and what is the per item cost)
• Invoice total (must match total on payment request; KSU does not shortpay or overpay invoices)
• Remittance information (must have vendor's name and remittance address)
  • A remittance address is the physical location vendors indicate payment should be mailed to. This is required information even if a vendor has signed up for electronic payments

Accounts Payable reviews the AP Invoice Review queue daily. When an invoice is approved by AP, it exports from the e-Payables system and posts to Banner with a due date that reflects the following calendar day. 

Check runs occur every Wednesday evening and pick up all unpaid invoices that reflect due dates on or prior to the date of the check run. As a result, invoices exported from the e-Payables system from Wednesday through Tuesday are included in the following Wednesday's check run. During holiday weeks and at fiscal year end, check run dates may deviate from this schedule.

To check the status of your exported payment, take the following steps (in order):

1. Check Banner screens FAIVNDH and FGITRND to see what the due date and check date is listed as. 
   1. NOTE: If you cannot access these screens, ask your local Banner security administrator to submit a request for you to have "BAN_FIN_DEPT_USERS/C" access. 
2. If you are unable to find the payment details in Banner, and the e-Payables invoice status is "Exported", email apcustomerservice@kent.edu with the vendor's Banner ID, name, invoice number, and dollar amount for assistance. 

This matrix lists general purchase types and the method required to facilitate payment.
