Rho's Vendor management solution now allows you to collect & store Vendors' W-9 forms on the Rho Vendor profile.
How to collect Vendors' W-9 forms
You first need to have an active vendor profile. Then select the Vendor's profile > navigate to Tax Files > Select New W-9 Form
If you already have a W-9 form on file for this vendor and want to attach it to their profile, select the Upload & Verify option. If you don't have the W-9 on file, select Send Form to Vendor. For more information, see the article section How to Collect a W-9 from a Vendor.
After selecting Upload & Verify, upload the W-9 form file to the Select File section. Note that the file must be a PDF, and the maximum file size is 15 MB. Read and select the attestation to upload the W-9 form.
Once the W-9 form has been uploaded, please verify all fields parsed from it, read, and attest.
The vendor profile will be updated with a status that the W-9 form is on file.
