The enhancement for vendor type “Individual – Non U.S. Citizen (1042S),” which will automatically inactivate vendors based upon their immigration documentation end date, has been delayed and is now scheduled to go live on 12/18/17.
After 12/18/17, these vendors will need to provide updated GLACIER forms and documentation in order to be reactivated.
The Vendor lookup screen will be modified to include a visa expiration date column. Additional materials may be found in the Harvard Training Portal after December 1st.

End Dates for Vendor Types NE - No Entry into the U.S. or ADVTR - Travel Advance
Vendors with a classification of NE – “NE – No Entry/No U.S. presence” or ADVTR – “Advance Travel Payment greater than 30 days prior to US Entry (also called Travel Grant)” will only remain active for 90 days. To be reactivated, departments will need to reconfirm that No Entry vendors have not entered the U.S. every 90 days.
