Payment: Submit to Vendor (KU/LGE)

If the vendor (such as KU/LGE) is accepting electronic submission of your payments, the screen will show the “Submit To Vendor” button. When you click “Submit To Vendor” your payment batch is electronically sent to the Vendor.

This does NOT mean that payment is being issued or that a check is being presented. What it means is that the Vendor will electronically validate the accounts, pledges, and amounts then send you an invoice for the batch. 

“Submit To Vendor” cannot be undone because you have submitted it to the vendor and they are going to invoice you for that amount. Be sure that your batch is perfectly reconciled before you submit.

Steps to mark Payment Batches "Submit to Vendor"

1. Navigate to the Payment search screen in the Finance section of CASTiNET 3.
2. On the Search Payment screen, enter search criteria to find payment batch(es).
1. Search for Status: “Payment not Approved for Pay”
2. Vendor Code:
   • “KU” displays all payment batches for vendor Kentucky Utilities
   • “LGE” displays all payment batches for vendor Louisville Gas & Electric
3. Select the checkbox next to payment batches being submitted to vendor.
4. Select "Submit for Vendor Validation” below the search results.
5. Select “Continue” to submit the selected batches to the vendor.                                                                         

6. Selected batches will now be marked as "Approved to Pay". Upon successful validation, this is typically the next business day, you will receive an email confirmation from KU/LGE with the expect invoice amount.
