How to review existing supplier in the system?

IMPORTANT: In ctcLink, suppliers are configured globally meaning the Supplier Database is shared across all the 34 college campuses and the State Board. Any changes to a supplier record will affect the other campuses.

  • Step 1: Verify the W-9 or W-8BEN Form

The first step in adding a supplier is to determine that the information provided on the W-9 or W-8BEN form is accurate. If the Supplier has not provided a W-9 or W-8BEN contact the supplier to request the appropriate documentation.

Note: It is important to have W-9 or W-8BEN attached with the supplier record for verification and approval.

  • Step 2: Search Supplier

Supplier search is important to ensure duplicate suppliers are not added to the database.

Use review supplier page to search for the suppliers in the PeopleSoft database by searching for each field separately to verify the supplier does not exist. There are four areas to search:

  1. ID Type (TIN / SSN)
  2. Name (Supplier Name)
  3. Short Name (Supplier Short name)
  4. Address (Supplier Address)
