Procurement Services
Invoices Must Be Sent to VCU's "Bill to" Address
Vendors should send all invoices, with the exception of cXML or portal invoices, to VCU’s “bill to" address:
Via e-mail:
VCU.Invoices@trustflowds.com
Via U.S. mail
Virginia Commonwealth Accounts Payable
Box 3985
Scranton, PA 18505
This address is provided on all purchase orders as the appropriate “bill to” address. Invoices must reference the associated Purchase Order number.
Effective July 15, 2022, Accounts Payable will no longer review vendor statements. Submitting invoices to any other address other than those above will likely delay payment.
New RealSource Release 22.2
On Monday, July 18th a new RealSource release (22.2) will go live. This release will affect the One-Time payment request, VCUHS/MCVP pay request, and the Revenue Refund form only. These forms will open in the new experience view by default and an on-screen toggle allows users to switch between the new and classic views. The toggle will be removed in the 22.3 release and users will only see the new forms interface.
Previously, selecting a form would open it in a pop out window. Now, those forms will open in a new page of the browser. The form elements have been redesigned for better usability and improved display, but these changes do not affect functionality.
