The Banking Verification Form is required when a new vendor/payee chooses to be paid via the ACH option or if the vendor/payee has a CHANGE to their banking information. The form is to be completed only by the department to verify the information was received directly from the vendor.

Only one invoice can be paid per DocuSign. However, if reimbursing an individual, multiple receipts may be attached to a single DocuSign.

Complete the DocuSign as a HELD check request indicating YES in the “Held Chk?” field, enter in the contact name (to send the held check to), campus and phone number or email address. Also, please allow a minimum of a two-week turn-around period to receive your check.

When a DocuSign shows as completed, it means that the signature approvals have been completed. Many factors are involved in making a payment. Some examples of these may include whether the vendor needs to be established as a new vendor, a change needs to be made to the vendor information, terms of payment/contract, and workflow approvals through Purdue University departments after being submitted by PNW Accounts Payable. Some delays outside of the Purdue System may include whether the recipient’s bank releases the payment or the recipient receives the notification of payment, depending upon payment type.

There are a couple of items to review. First, check the invoice terms to see if the invoice should have been paid by the current date. Next, check the DocuSign date to see when it was entered into the system. Then, check the DocuSign approval flow to see if it is completed.

After the above checks are completed, contact PNWpayables@pnw.edu to have them review the payment progress and provide additional payment information.

No, this type of signature is NOT allowable on University forms. Since the vendor forms are legal documents for auditing purposes, the signature of all vendors must actually be written on the forms along with current dates. PNW has an obligation to adhere to strict IRS guidelines to protect our best interest and the best interest of our vendors.
