For international vendors, the Bank information includes CONVERA account details because that is who LC will actually send money to. However, it is important that we also capture the bank information, IBAN and SWIFT codes for the vendor to complete the payment and display on invoice etc.
Banking data can reference a specific vendor address. The address details are stored with banking data so it is easy to retrieve.

For each vendor, the bank information must be associated with a specific vendor address. Address data (Remittance address) is generally used as validation during the payment process and can cause payments to be rejected if inaccurate. Not all banks have this requirement but some still do. 

Bank information is stored in a way that only users with Organizations: View Bank information are able to view.

Librarian 1 is authorized to view and edit banking information and has unfettered access. Librarian 2 is able to view vendor information in general, but is not allowed to view banking information and therefore has no access. Ideally, there will be no indication to an unauthorized user that banking information is stored.

This information is delicate and some users would need to be able to see bank information in order to do troubleshooting. Only specific users would be able to edit the information. Eg. invoice approvers may need to see the bank data and verify but only the section manager might need to updated it. Also note inspector general requires that one user is not able to update vendor info, approve orders AND approve invoices.

Librarians running reports and queries who do not expressly have access to banking information should not be able to query or view banking information.

Currently, users in Voyager are either able to edit the organization detail or not (no partial edit). There is a view-only that allows a user to see all vendor details (Including banking info).


Exchange program users would benefit from being able to see vendors but not their banking information. As exchange program details are stored in the vendor record.




Bank information must be available via API with organization data

The external Accounts Payable system relies on banking information stored in FOLIO rather than having it stored in the AP system. Banking information needs to be output to the AP systemOrganizations paid through a broker will all contain the bank information of that broker so the payment can be made to the broker rather than the organization. Eg. over 100 organizations will be paid through CONVERA.


Users should be able to view Bank details when approving invoices. If the user is able to view invoices they ARE NOT always able to view bank information. Not able to edit bank information from invoice

Details that should be visible would be:

  • Bank name
  • Account number
  • Transit number
