Reminder- Adding New Suppliers
Procurement has rolled out a new form to enter suppliers.
In an effort to reduce returned supplier forms the following has changed: - The correct up to date government form (W8-BEN, W8-BEN-E, or W9) is pre-loaded and suppliers no longer need to source their own forms.
- Mandatory fields on the government forms so that the necessary fields are no longer skipped by the supplier.
- Instructions for the supplier on how to fill out the form.
Make sure you are only adding suppliers though the link in Paw. The link can be found under the section "Quick Links" on the homepage of Paw.
A guide to the new supplier form can be found on the Procurement website
