GW iBuy+ Invoice

GW iBuy+ Invoice, a new online invoice processing solution, is now implemented. Use the cloud-based GW iBuy+ Invoice to manage your commercial invoices - both with a Purchase Order (PO) or non-PO related - and other payment requests such as honoraria, awards, prizes, and non-employee expense reimbursements from submission to approval to payment. Interfaces and file uploads will not be impacted by the implementation of iBuy+ Invoice.

Submit invoices in a timely manner to University Payables via iBuy+ Invoice. You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of Capture for your commercial supplier invoices. Capture ‘lifts’ information, such as invoice number, invoice date, and invoice amount, from the invoice and creates an entry form. The form with the invoice attached is sent to the PO requester or the end-user identified on the invoice. The email address for Capture is [email protected].

Endowment requests require Office of the University Controller approval. Submit endowment requests via the Endowment Request Workflow. More information is available on the University Controller website.

Submit grant related DCFs for processing through the online submission form.

The GW iBuy+ Invoice solution has replaced the online submission form on the website. The online submission form is only used for grant related Departmental Correction Forms, endowment related payments, and GWorld refunds. All other invoices submitted through the online submission form will be returned and the submitter will be asked to submit the invoices through GW iBuy+ Invoice.
