Processes and Procedures

Vendors

Before any vendors can do business with the College, they first need to be registered as a vendor through our Vendor Management Unit. Successfully registered vendors will be able to manage their accounts through the Statewide Financial System Vendor Self Service Portal. This will enable each vendor to manage their information, receive important updates, and view payment information. More information can be found at www.sfs.ny.gov

Invoices

All invoices must be processed through accounts payable and should be sent to APinvoices@york.cuny.edu
