Preferred Payment Methods
Old Dominion University recognizes the importance of expediting payments to our vendors 和 suppliers. We are asking all of our vendors 和 suppliers to enroll in Bank of America's electronic payment options: Virtual Payables or Paymode-X.
Virtual Payables is an electronic payment via a ghost credit card. To achieve this more efficient form of payment, we have chosen Bank of America's Virtual Payables solution as our preferred method of payment.

Commonwealth Debt Set-Off Program (CDS) & Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
The State provides agencies with the tax-id number for vendors with debts to the Commonwealth. ODU is required to reduce a vendor payment by the Debt Set-Off amount 和 remit the payment to the Department of Taxation, who verifies the Debt Set-Off amount.
The Accounts Payable 办公室 will always mail a letter to the vendor indicating any amount intercepted by Debt Set-Off. 供应商 with questions about Debt Set-Off must contact the Department of Taxation customer service line at: 804-367-8031. ODU staff are not able to provide information to the vendor (taxpayer) about any money owed to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
The CDS Program intercepts vendor payments to offset debts owed by vendors to State agencies. If it is determined that a vendor is either EDI or CDS, payments to these vendors are transmitted electronically to Richmond so that the CDS vendor payments are applied against taxation debts.
Three payment instances may occur:
- If 部分 payment is taken, the vendor will receive the remaining balance. The ACH or Check remittance will indicate the amount taken for the debt owed.
- 如果 完整的 amount of payment is taken, the vendor will not receive any amount of the payment.
- If 没有一个 of the payment is taken, the vendor will receive the 完整的 payment amount.
No checks are produced for vendors who are determined to have a taxation debt set-off.

联系 the Department of Taxation customer service line at 804-367-8031. ODU staff are not able to provide information to the vendor (taxpayer) about any money owed to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
If it is determined that a vendor is EDI, payments to these vendors are transmitted electronically to Richmond so that EDI payments can be electronically deposited into vendor bank accounts.
No checks are produced for vendors who receive payment through the EDI process.
All vendor payments must be run through the CDS (Commonwealth Debt Set-Off) 和 EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) programs.
