Troubleshooting & Help

  • Error: Invitation Previously Sent to This Email Address

  • PaymentWorks does not allow multiple invitations to be sent to a single email address. If you did not previously send an invitation, someone else may have.

  • Vendor Did Not Receive an Invite
  • To resend an invite:
     

    1. Navigate to the Vendor Master Updates page and ensure you are in the Onboarding Tracker view.

    2. Find your vendor using the filter options on the left.

    3. Select the hyperlinked text under the first circle or second circle of the vendor's Onboarding Tracker. This will expand your view to the Invitation Detail section. 

    4. Click the Resend Invitation button.

    5. The Resend New Vendor Invitation pop-up window will now open – select Send


    If you see an error stating "This user has already begun the onboarding process," the vendor has claimed the invitation, and you are unable to resend it.
     
    Ensure the vendor checks their Spam and Junk folders for the invitation.
  • Incorrect Email Address Was Entered on Invitation
  • To correct and resend an invite: 
     

    1. Navigate to the Vendor Master Updates page and ensure you are in the Onboarding Tracker view.

    2. Find your vendor using the filter options on the left.

    3. Select the hyperlinked text under the first circle or second circle of the vendor's Onboarding Tracker. This will expand your view to the Invitation Detail section.  

    4. Click the Resend Invitation button.

    5. The Resend New Vendor Invitation pop-up window will now open. Enter the correct email address under Contact E-Mail.

    6. Select Send. 


    If you see an error stating "This user has already begun the onboarding process," the vendor has taken action on the invitation, and you are unable to modify it.

  • Invitation is No Longer Needed
  • If the invitation is no longer needed and the vendor has not already claimed it:
     

    1. Navigate to the Vendor Master Updates page and ensure you are in the Onboarding Tracker view.

    2. Find your vendor using the filter options on the left.

    3. Select the hyperlinked text under the first circle or second circle of the vendor's Onboarding Tracker. This will expand your view to the Invitation Detail section. 

    4. Click the Disable Reminders button.

    5. A confirmation screen will appear. Select Ok. 


    The vendor will no longer receive emails asking them to register. 

  • Vendor Has Not Completed the Forms
  • The vendor will receive emails until the registration is completed or the reminders are cancelled. 
     

    •  1st Reminder: 3 days 
    •  2nd Reminder: 7 days 
    •  3rd Reminder: 14 days 
    •  4th Reminder: 21 days 
    •  5th Reminder: 28 days

     
    Reminder email notifications are automatically generated. Do not resend invitations unless the vendor notifies you that they did not receive the initial email.
  • Vendor Number Has Not Been Received
  • The vendor will receive their Vendor Number (also known as their vendor ID or Vendor Control Key (VCK)) once they have been approved and set up in BruinBuy.
    When the vendor's registration is complete, the Onboarding Tracker will turn green and you will see their Vendor Number under the Onboarding Complete circle.
