Changes to the Oracle Vendor Request Form for GLACIER

June 12, 2014

In the June 22nd FINDINI release, the Vendor Request Form now requires the E-mail and Visa Type fields when a Vendor Type of “Individual – Non US Citizen” is selected.   When completing the Visa Type field, processors should enter “NA - Not Applicable” when it is not clear as to individual’s visa type.   If the individual is not entering the US to receive payment, processors should select “NE – No Entry.”  For example, you would use “NE” when paying travel expenses to a UK resident traveling to China.  When using “NE,” a warning will display that you certify the individual is not a US resident and the services are not being performed in the US. 

Oracle Vendor Request Form

This change to the Vendor Request form was made to accommodate the information needed for the online tax program, called GLACIER, that will begin use this September to calculate an individual’s tax withholding and replace the paper FNIF form.  During the June through August period, individuals must continue to complete the paper FNIF form and submit it to University Financial Services AP office.

More information on GLACIER will become available in August.  In the meantime, should you have any questions or comments, please contact:  Jodi Kessler at 617-496-7131 or jodi_kessler@harvard.edu
