Business Expense Reimbursements - Foreign Individual (BER) Vendor Type

March 15, 2018

A two-page reference sheet on when and how to set up vendor type BER for foreign individuals has been uploaded into the training portal. Vendor type BER allows Harvard administrators to reimburse foreign individuals (aka nonresident aliens or 1042S vendors) who do not have a prior payment relationship with Harvard and are only being reimbursed for Harvard business expenses. The BER vendor type bypasses the GLACIER process since individuals do not have an income history with Harvard. See the Training Portal for this reference document.
