All invoices need a valid Purchase Order number in order to be paid.

Payments Manager
Finance Office
First Floor, Tierney Building
Belfield, Dublin 4
Ireland  

Supplier invoices should never be sent to any address outside the Finance Office or to any other email address. 

Accounts Payable staff will scan the invoice onto the system. On satisfactory receipt of the relevant goods/services, the PO should be receipted in eProcurement by the Requisitioner and the invoice will be matched for payment by the Accounts Payable Team.

Only the Buyer of each department can request a new supplier to be set up on the system. The Buyer must complete the (opens in a new window)Supplier Set-Up Form  and return to (opens in a new window)Supplier Set-Up. Requisitioners should review the list of Contracted Suppliers available on the Procurement Office Intranet and consult their Buyer about other existing suppliers before requesting a set-up.(opens in a new window)
