Payment Options

  • Please fill out a Check Cancellation Request Form from UW Connect.
  • Miscellaneous Payments:
    • Once the check has been canceled, the MP will be canceled in Workday. If payment is still due, Shared Environment should submit a new MP in Workday.
  • Expense Reports:
    • Once the check has been canceled, the ER will not be canceled in Workday and instead, the ER will re-run for settlement that evening.
  • To expedite, the 'copy' function can be used on the previous ER. Note that all attachments & comments will need to be re-added. Here are the instructions:
    • Go to the Expenses App, click on Expense Reports, choose 'Approved' in the status field
    • Select the Expense Report by clicking on the Related Actions icon (do not actually open the report)
    • Under Expense Report, click on the 'copy' button
    • A new copy of ER will open or you can find the new copy in your drafts under My Expense Reports
    • Please attach all of the required receipts/documents, as they won’t be automatically copied
    • Please re-input line item details and all overall comments, as they won’t be duplicated either

  • Under the Handling Code field, choose "Campus Mail"
  • Under the Miscellaneous Fields tag, under Miscellaneous Field 7, input the Box Number
  • Have the check sent to yourself or your department
  • Reroute the check through the USPS (US Postal Service)

Sending checks to foreign addresses is highly discouraged as they tend to take a long time to reach their destination and more often than not they are lost. Additionally, most foreign banks do not accept US checks. We recommend processing a foreign wire in lieu of a check to a foreign location.
