Other Payment Request - Specialty Form

Specialty Forms are transaction-specific online forms that enable you to properly contract and pay for services.

  • Specialty Forms replaces the paper disbursement request form for approximately three hundred million dollars worth of invoice payments annually.
  • Keep in mind that the Specialty Forms should not be used to purchase goods. The Specialty Forms are intended to be used for short form contracts and check requests for service-related work. 
  • Specialty Forms do not replace purchases that you currently place on a OneCard, or in the PantherExpress System via the Contracted and Non-Contracted Suppliers, nor do they replace requesting a contract in Contracts+.
