REMINDER: work with the new suppliers to not send their Vendor Setup form to the address on the form, but to return it to you, to be uploaded into Workday. Sending to that address (BF-PRSM-Webform@osu.edu) will not get them added into the system.
The form is to be updated, but until it is- be sure that you request it be sent to you.
