ASI Check/Petty Cash Request Form (Excel)
W-9 Vendor Tax ID Request Form (PDF)
ACLI will return checks payable to vendors to a department representative for delivery, but it must be stated on the check request under the section titled: Other Instructions. Also the representative must come and pick up the check and initial the check request.
As a reminder, checks/ACH are cut on Thursday of every week, and will be mailed out no later than the close of business on Friday.
Highlights of Invoice Processing:
- Invoices are processed on a first in, first out schedule.
- Due to the volume of invoices, most are usually processed within one week of submission to Finance.
- Checks/Payments are normally issued on Thursday.
Avoid Delays in Processing Your Request:
- Proper Approvals – do you have the proper approval signatures based on dollar amount of invoice/check request/ACH?
- Tax ID Mandatory – we will not issue ACH’s / checks unless we have a Tax ID Number on file.
- Attachments with check – if you want any information to be sent with the check, you need to include an extra mailing copy, otherwise only the check will be mailed to the vendor.
- Payment by ACH instead of check – we will send payments electronically via ACH (Automated Clearing House) instead of checks whenever possible.
- As stated on the check request form, the default payment method will become ACH once the new method is implemented. We understand not all payments will be able to be paid electronically.
