University employees can use Chrome River to process travel reimbursements to non-employees allowed under 8.2.5 Request Non-Employee Reimbursement.

Additional information:

• Non-employees can be reimbursed as either a Temporary Vendor or as a Regular Vendor. If the payee has a Vendor ID set up in Banner, it is recommended that payment be made using their Vendor ID as it is easier to track the payment and direct deposit can be used.
• The report number can be referenced in FOATEXT within Banner.
