Key Payment Tools for Staff and Faculty
-
Staff and faculty can submit travel and reimbursement requests through Travel and Expense (powered by SAP Concur). This tool enables employees to book and manage travel, submit, review, and pre-approve reimbursement expenses, as well as reconcile university payment card transactions.
Concur integrates travel bookings and expense reporting into a single platform. Travelers can book domestic and international flights, reserve rental cars, hotels, and rail, and automatically flow purchase information into the system, streamlining the expense reporting process. Travel and Expense can be accessed through NYU Home.
-
i-Buy is the University’s cloud-based purchasing system, powered by JAGGAER, which manages the full procure-to-pay process for vendors, including external individuals. Faculty and staff can shop online using supplier catalogs or enabled websites, create requisitions for goods and services, and submit them for approval in accordance with the University`s Delegation of Authority. i-Buy can be accessed through NYU Home.
-
Approved NYU employees can use university payment cards for business purchases, travel, and events. At Steinhardt, Administrative Directors and authorized staff typically hold these cards to support faculty and departmental needs. Cards include the Purchasing Card (P-Card) and the Department Travel Card (CTA Card). Please connect with your Administrative Director for card access or any questions.
