The following information is required on the EFT forms:
Bank Name
Bank ABA Number/Routing Number
Bank Account Number
Q: We have a new employee who requires immediate travel, how can I get that person into GovTrip as soon as possible?A: : In order to set up a traveler in TM+, the person must first have an approved PeopleSoft vendor ID. A new employee will automatically receive
a new vendor number with a file interface from the National Finance Center (NFC) to the Smithsonian Institution's Office of the Comptroller (SI-OC), which typically takes 3-4 weeks
depending on the pay period cycle of the new hire date. If immediate travel is required from the new hire date, fill out a vendor enrollment form, and send it to MS-26 to attention Ria Jauw.
Please email Ria prior to the submission. Once the PeopleSoft vendor profile is approved by SI-OC, FMD will coordinate the addition into TM+ with the Travel Department.
