Welcome to Accounts Payable

Service Updates:

Check and ACH Payments

In alignment with the Office of the Controller’s processing schedule, Accounts Payable will cut checks and process ACH payments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The change is effective on November 1, 2021.

Rush Payment of Invoices

To expedite a supplier payment, MSU departments must email the invoice to Accounts Payable at UPL.AP@msu.edu. The email must:

• Be received by 10 a.m. to be processed the same day (if Tuesday or Thursday)
• Indicate "RUSH" in the email subject line
  • Example: RUSH - PO#345678 James Company
• Include the accounting string that Accounts Payable will charge the $15 special handling fee to in the email body

No other method of rush payment notice will be accepted. Checks or ACH payments for rush requests will only be cut or processed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, effective November 1, 2021.

Check Pickup

Checks marked as “Hold for Pickup” can be picked up at the Angell Building, 166 Service Rd., on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 p.m. MSU departments must email the invoice to Accounts Payable at UPL.AP@msu.edu. The email must:

• Be received by 10 a.m. to be processed the same day (if Tuesday or Thursday)
• Indicate "HOLD FOR PICKUP" in the email subject line
  • Example: HOLD FOR PICKUP - PO#345678 James Company
• Indicate a preferred pickup time (to be confirmed by Accounts Payable)

At this time, we are also asking that you evaluate the need for a Hold for Pickup check. As an alternative, we would be happy to mail the check via intercampus mail or USPS. Please consider this as an optimal choice.
