Non-standard Check Processing

This service accommodates processing outside of the standard check service, which is designed to pay the vendor within payment terms; the check is mailed via USPS from Accounts payable. Although processing transactions outside this process is costly and inefficient there is a need to make period exceptions.

AP will exercise judgment regarding what constitutes emergency/and or special handling treatment for non-routine situations. AP will work with the local units to determine the type of request and the service, which is most appropriate to meet the need.

Prior to contacting AP with a non-standard check request, local units should consider payment alternatives such as Pcard or planning ahead to ensure the check reaches the vendor via USPS using the standard check processing service.
