With the implementation of the Kuali Financial System (KFS), what Cornell has previously referred to as a Payment Request has become a Disbursement Voucher (DV). The KFS DV e-doc is used for payments that do not require a purchase order, and to reimburse nonemployees for travel and others for expenses incurred while conducting university business. Payments can be in issued the form of a check, automated clearing house (ACH/direct deposit), or wire transfer.
The DV e-doc is located on the KFS Main Menu tab, in the Transactions section, under Financial Processing.
Note: Access to KFS is limited to authorized individuals. For help, see the KFS Support and Transition Tools pages.
For details on using KFS for processing payments see the Purchasing Standard Operating Procedures. For general information about the KFS Accounts Payable and Financial Processing modules, see Using KFS - Accounts Payable and Using KFS - Financial Processing.

What is the Payment Request System?
The Payment Request System enables Cornell employees to initiate, track, and approve reimbursements, cash advances, and direct payments to vendors. Faculty, staff, and students are responsible to expend funds in a manner consistent with the missions of the university and the conditions specified by external sources, when applicable.
Each request will be routed to payment authorities and Disbursement Review for review. Depending on the accounts used in the request, it may be routed to Sponsored Funds Accounting for additional review. Please allow 10 days to process your request.
Faculty, staff, and students can practice using the Payment Request System without affecting production data.
