Adding a State Employee Supplier
Participating agencies may wish
to establish a state employee as a supplier, but the employee must already
be entered in OAKS HCM.
If information provided on the supplier form(s)
is unclear and/or conflicting, use any additional backup documentation
to assist with processing (e.g., phone calls, coversheets, emails,
Secretary of State website, websites, etc.). Note the results on the
Supplier Operations Tracker.
If the supplier name is conflicting
on the forms, backup documentation, and/or OAKS FIN due to the adding
or deleting of the letter "s" to make a word plural, singular,
or possessive (e.g., enterprise / enterprises), use additional resources
such as a phone call, Secretary of State website, supplier website,
etc. to confirm the supplier name.
