Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable department is responsible for timely and accurate processing of all non-salary transactions that are properly authorized in accordance with University and State polices for payment.

Our goal is to consistently process payments in a timely manner so that vendor terms are honored and cash discounts may be taken. We are committed to providing quality services to all departments and vendors and strive to provide prompt responses to all requests for information.

The Accounts Payable department prints checks on Monday and Thursday of each week. The checks are released the following afternoon after they have been approved. This procedure is followed year round with the exception of holidays and other times the Director of Accounts Payable deems necessary.

Modernizing Vendor Payments:  AP Director Portal Launches Monday, March 2, 2026!

AP Director, a new module within PORT, will officially go live on Monday, March 2, 2026. This new system centralizes ECU’s vendor payable processes and streamlines multiple existing forms into a single, modern workflow.

With AP Director:

• Vendor payable activity will be entered and managed in PORT
• Payment information will feed into Banner for processing
• Confirming Orders, Contractual Service Payment Requests (CSPRs), Direct Payment Forms, and Standing Order invoices will be submitted using the Pirate Payment Form

Employee reimbursements, ProCard reconciliation, manual travel requests, and HR‑driven forms are not affected by this change.

Each division will have designated Super Admins to assist with navigation, troubleshooting, and workflow questions.

Users will need PORT Requisitioner security access to submit Pirate Payment Forms.

For technical assistance, please submit a TeamDynamix ticket.

User guides and additional resources are available.

For questions, contact Accounts Payable at accountspayable@ecu.edu or 252‑737‑5442.
