ONBOARDING SUPPLIERS: Domestic, Foreign, UD Affiliated Students and EmployeEs

Why Launch a Supplier Portal?

  • Single, standardized process simplifies and enhances the onboarding experience for end users and suppliers.
  • Self-registration enables suppliers to maintain their own records via a secure, online environment.
  • In-system communication enables quick, efficient supplier support.
  • Transparency around the supplier onboarding journey allows users to track the status of supplier request forms and suppliers’ registration progress

All new domestic and foreign suppliers as well as existing suppliers (including students) who require any updates to their supplier record, must be invited to register through the UDX Supplier Portal.

The UDX Supplier Portal standardizes and simplifies the onboarding and updating process for both new and existing suppliers!

New Suppliers

1. Submit a New Supplier Request Form in UDX. Form is reviewed/approved by the Supplier Data Management (SDM) team.

2.Supplier receives invitation to register with an email from Udexchange@jaggaer.com.

3.Supplier self-registers (2-way communication with the SDM team provides a seamless onboarding experience.)

4.Registration is reviewed and approved by the SDM team and supplier is available for shopping.

Existing Suppliers

Existing suppliers that are already “Active” in UDX do not need any action unless an update to their information is needed. End Users should direct suppliers to login to the UDX Supplier Portal to make updates. If the supplier is not already self-registered on the UDX portal, End Users or the supplier should submit a ticket to procurement@udel.edu requesting an invite to register the existing supplier. The process then proceeds from Step 2 as stated above. Note: Existing suppliers do not need to complete all new information; their current information on file is visible and they can now make direct updates.

onboarding new suppliers 

Refer to How to Onboard a New Supplier guide for detailed instructions.

Allnew domestic and foreign suppliers (including students) must be invited to self-register through the UDX Supplier Portal.  

  • Domestic suppliers no longer complete the online UD substitute W-9 to onboard or update their record.

  • End Users should not submit tickets with W-8 and SDC forms for foreign suppliers.

  • Students are no longer paid via webforms with the exception of refunds & reimbursements (check only).

 

The process is simple!

1. Request an invitation to register for your supplier using the Supplier Request form in UDX.

2. The supplier data management team will review the request and send the supplier an invitation to register via UDX.

3. The supplier completes and submits registration.

4. The registration is reviewed by the supplier team, if clarification is needed, the supplier team communicates directly with the supplier. 

5. Once the registration is approved, the supplier is onboarded and ready for shopping or payment.

6. Check the status of your request by navigating to Shopping Home Page>My Supplier Requests.

TIP:  Always Search UDX first to confirm whether the supplier is already onboarded before submitting a New Supplier Request Form. 

 

IMPORTANT: If you are arranging payment to a Non-U.S. Citizen/Non-Permanent Resident providing services in the U.S. while on an immigration visa (including students):

  • You must first contact UD International Student & Scholar Services to complete the validation process to ensure that the individual is legally eligible to receive such payment. 

  • This is the responsibility of the engaging department, and Procurement Services will assume that this has been completed if we receive a request for supplier registration and payment.

See How to Onboard a New Supplier guide for detailed instructions.

As of January 12, 2026, ALL students and employees must be invited to register through the UDX Supplier Portal since there are NO students or employees currently registered in UDX. Important: Once registered in UDX, UD affiliated students and employees are identified by a YouDee icon next to a student’s name and the UD Monogram icon next to an employee’s name. Student employees will have both icons. As of January 2026, all payments for UD affiliates are requested in UDX via the Student or Employee NPOP forms (available on Shopping Home Page/Non-PO Request Forms).

 

Exceptions

 

  • Student payments for Refunds & Reimbursements are still allowable on a Payment to Individuals (PTI) webform for check payment only. These are non-taxable payments and to help reduce time & effort, the payee does not need to be onboarded. Refer to the Completing the Non-PO Payment Request Form.
  • Employee payments for Refunds are still allowable on a PTI. These are non-taxable payments and to help reduce time & effort, the payee does not need to be onboarded. Employee reimbursements will continue through Concur. Supplemental Pay Webform will remain for all payments payroll related. Refer to the Completing the Non-PO Payment Request Form guide for detailed instructions.

See the NPOP Matrix for a complete list (and descriptions) of procurement and non-procurement transactions and payment methods. 

 

See Bulk Supplier Onboarding Guide for detailed instructions on how to complete the Bulk Supplier Request Form.

  • The Bulk Supplier Request Form should only be used when there is a need to onboard 10 or more suppliers at once (e.g. a large group of students receiving stipends, awards or prizes for a competition)

  • The purpose of the Bulk Supplier Request Form is to provide a less cumbersome process to onboard multiple suppliers at once. Rather than completing 10+ Supplier Request Forms, you only need to submit one Bulk Supplier Request Form with your suppliers’/payees' contact info in the Bulk Supplier Invite Submission Worksheet. Procurement will use the Worksheet to invite each of your suppliers/payees to register.

  • After the supplier/payee has been invited, the progress of each registration can be tracked by searching for the supplier/payee name.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: As of January 2026, all UD affiliated students are required to onboard in UDX (except for refunds & reimbursements) regardless of whether they previously submitted a Substitute W-9/W-8/SDC via the old process.
