Accounts Payable

Submitting an Invoice

Please send invoices directly to invoices@iastate.edu. The subject line should include:

  • ISU Purchase Order Number or ISU Supplier Contract Number
  • Supplier Name
  • Invoice number

Purchase Order Example: PO-1135079 - Globex Corporation - Invoice #1234

Supplier Contract Example: SCN-1007017 - Acme Corporation - Invoice #1234

Invoices should NOT be sent to an individual ISU department. Sending invoices to the Sold-To or Ship-To Address may delay processing time.

ISU is in the process of moving to a paperless environment. We encourage our suppliers to send invoices via email to invoices@iastate.edu to ensure prompt payment according to contract terms. While electronic invoices are preferred if necessary hard-copy invoices can be sent to Accounts Payable’s address below.

Subcontract/Subaward/Subrecipient Contract Invoices

Subcontract/Subaward/Subrecipient Contract invoices are not related to standard procurement agreements. These agreements are full collaborative relationships between ISU and the Subrecipient, whereby the terms of the prime award to ISU are flowed down to the subrecipient. Sponsored Programs Accounting must review all Subrecipient invoices. Invoices for work done on Subcontract/Subaward/Subrecipient contracts must be submitted to spa@iastate.edu.
