What is the Payment Request System?

The Payment Request System enables Cornell employees to initiate, track, and approve reimbursements, cash advances, and direct payments to vendors. Faculty, staff, and students are responsible to expend funds in a manner consistent with the missions of the university and the conditions specified by external sources, when applicable.

Each request will be routed to payment authorities and Disbursement Review and Tax for review. Depending on the accounts used in the request, it may be routed to Sponsored Funds Accounting for additional review. Please allow 10 days to process your request.

Payment Request System to Be Used by All Units 
Units from both contract and endowed colleges should be using the Payment Request System to process any eligible payments. The following payments are not eligible and should be submitted on the usual paper form  until further notice: electronic funds transfers ("wires, ACH, Drafts"), payments issued in foreign currency, payments over $1,000,000, payments on state appropriated funds, and moving or relocation reimbursements.
