Information for Vendors

The University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO) Accounting Services Office is responsible for all accounts payable functions. We handle non-payroll vendor invoices and facilitate the issuance of payments to vendors.

UNO is an agency of the State of Nebraska, and is bound by the regulations, policies and procedures set forth by the Nebraska legislature and administered by the State of Nebraska Department of Administrative Services.

Policies and procedures set forth by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents and other university administrative entities govern issues specific to the university. Certain transactions are subject to Internal Revenue Service documentation and reporting.

Payment

All invoices should be sent to our office at the address shown below and should include a UNO purchase order number and/or the contact name and phone number of the UNO personnel placing the order.

Normal payment processing time is approximately five to seven business days after the invoice has been approved for payment by the department obtaining the goods and/or services.

Payment is made by State of Nebraska Treasury Warrant (check). Warrants are mailed directly to vendors by the State of Nebraska unless documentation must accompany the payment to the vendor. The vendor invoice number is listed on the remittance portion of the warrant mailer. These warrants are valid for a period of one year. 

All vendor payments over $25,000 must be paid via ACH payment. UNO also uses this process for vendors with a high volume of transactions.

If you have not received a payment, or if you require further information for a payment you have received, or if you would like to enroll in the ACH payment process, contact our office at: 402.554.2320
