  • Current Supplier Information

    Clemson University is upgrading its eProcurement and payment systems, effective July 1. We will transition from buyWays (Jaggaer) to Workday to streamline our processes and improve your supplier experience.

    What is changing?

    • Automated ACH Payments: We heard your feedback. With Workday, we will offer secure Direct Deposit (ACH) payments, ensuring faster and more reliable payouts directly to your bank account.

    • Data Migration: As an active supplier, we will automatically move all your existing business details over to Workday.

    For now, no immediate action is required.

    You will receive an official invitation directly from Workday beginning on July 1st containing a secure link to log in and enter your banking details.

  • New Supplier Information

    Beginning on July 1st, 2026, suppliers will be invited to register in Workday once there is a need determined. If you have questions or concerns in regard to a prospective supplier, please reach out to supplier@clemson.edu.

  • 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.

    For questions or concerns in regard to an International Supplier, please contact Pablo Unda punda@clemson.edu
