Current Supplier Information
As Clemson University prepares for the rollout of our new ERP system, Workday, in 2026, we are conducting a comprehensive review of all supplier records currently maintained in the Jaggaer system. This initiative is essential to ensure we transition only accurate, complete, and verified supplier data into the new system.
Over the next several months, we will be reaching out directly to active and previously active suppliers to confirm the details on their supplier profiles. This includes verifying business names, addresses, contact information, tax identification numbers, and banking details where applicable.
What to Expect:
- Emails will begin going out to suppliers in June 2025 from supplier@clemson.edu.
- Each supplier will receive a unique link to log into their supplier profile where they can review and confirm their information.
- Suppliers must respond to this verification request within the specified timeframe outlined in the email.
- If a supplier does not confirm their information, their profile will be deactivated in buyWays and will not be moved into Workday.
- If you are a campus customer and no longer see a supplier you work with in buyWays, complete the new supplier request form with accurate contact information.
We have included a list of frequently asked questions below, based on common inquiries we've received. Please review them for helpful information.

International Supplier Information
International suppliers have separate approval requirements dependent on their Visa type, reason for payment and location where service/activity will be performed.
Homeland Security (IRS, U.S. Immigration, and Department of Treasury) dictates taxation rules, treaty eligibility, and work authorizations that we must abide by when paying foreign individuals/entities.
All international suppliers will be paid via wire transfer. Wire information will be collected at the time of registration. International suppliers should have the appropriate tax documentation current and readily available:
-
-
- Form W-8BEN, Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding.
- W-8BEN-E, Certificate of Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding (Entity).
- Form W-8ECI, Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim That Income Is Effectively Connected with the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States.
- Form W-8EXP, Certificate of Foreign Government or Other Foreign Organization for United States Tax Withholding.
- Form W-8IMY, Certificate of Foreign Intermediary, Foreign Flow-Through Entity, or Certain U.S. Branches for United States Tax Withholding.
