There is a supplier registration portal tied to Drexel's e-Procurement system, SAP Ariba. Suppliers are required to register in order to do business with Drexel University. We do not accept cold calls. If one of our departments has reached out to you for a good or service, they will email us at supplieronboarding@drexel.edu and a registration link will be delivered to you. It should take approximately 15 minutes for you to complete the registration.

Drexel uses PaymentWorks to create an automated, transparent, trackable vendor onboarding process. This platform alleviates common struggles for both you and Drexel's vendor management team.

Using PaymentWorks allows the team to be certain that the information submitted by you is accurate, streamlines the internal approval processes, and best of all, protects all from common vendor fraud scams.

Benefits to You as a Supplier/Payee

• Eliminates email as the mode to deliver sensitive banking and tax information to us.
• Your W9 is automatically created using your organization's most current information.
• All of your information is controlled by you: no changes can be made by an outside party impersonating you, nor by anyone inside our organization.
• You can check the status of your invoices at anytime - no more calling or emailing!
• You have the ability to choose the payment type with terms that work for you.
• You can be onboarded and set up for payment faster than our previous process.
• You can 'reuse' your company profile and submission data when you are invited by other PaymentWorks customers.
• Peace of mind that payments made to you are not being hijacked by a fraudster impersonating you.

The PaymentWorks portal will allow you to manage your own information in terms of Purchase Order (PO) fulfillment and distribution, check account information for ach payments, and track your POs and invoices. There is also a functionality that allows you to flip your PO to an invoice.
