ePayables at LSUHSC-New Orleans-A New Way to Pay Our Suppliers

 

LSU Health Sciences Center's recommended payment method is by payment card, also known as ePayables.

 

What is ePayables?

LSUHSC  has partnered with Bank of America to offer a card payment program, called ePayables, to the University's suppliers.  This is the University's preferred method of payment and is part of a campus-wide effort to reduce paper waste and decrease the amount of time to pay to our suppliers.

Vendors who choose to participate in the ePayables payment option will be paid “due immediately”. Once an invoice is approved for payment, an electronic remittance advice will be sent to the supplier by email or fax, instead of a check. The remittance advice will include statement-type information such as invoice numbers, dates and amounts for invoices. Payments can be retrieved with LSUHSC's designated account number that will be assigned to the supplier. The current procedures for invoicing remain the same.

Once registered, the suppliers will be contacted by a payment card administrator with a card number.

 

What are the advantages ePayables?

•Reduced exposure to check fraud

•Expedited receipt of cash -- funds are typically deposited within 48 hours of the transaction

•Time saving -- fewer calls for lost or misplaced checks

•Cost savings -- no check processing costs, no collection costs associated with lost or misplaced  checks

•Fewer errors -- remittance data transmitted with payment for more efficient back-end reconciliation

•Sustainability -- fewer check stock to purchase

LSUHSC's Accounts Payable department also utilizes the Paymode-X service offered by Bank of America Merrill Lynch to replace paper checks.
