Entering Employees as Suppliers

You must enter an employee as a supplier before you can pay the employee's expense reports. You can enable the Automatically Create Employee as Supplier Payables option to do this automatically during Payables Invoice Import, or you can manually enter the employee as a supplier in the Suppliers window.

• To enter an employee as a supplier manually, in the Classification region of the Suppliers window, select Employee as the supplier Type, and enter the Employee Name or Number.

• If you enable the Automatically Create Employee as Supplier Payables option, when you import the employee's expense report, Payables creates a HOME or OFFICE supplier site with the appropriate address, depending on where you are paying the supplier. If the supplier does not exist, Payables will create a new supplier for the employee. If the supplier site you are paying (home or office) does not yet exist, Payables adds the supplier site to an existing supplier. The Home address is from the PER_ADDRESSES table, and the Office address is from the HR_LOCATIONS table.
