Payment Compass
Payment Compass is a self-service online tool developed by Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) to simplify the way payees do business with UC San Diego. Learn more about the use and benefits of the Payment Compass website below.
Payment Compass should only be used to invite a new payee when the payee is not able to complete the registration form due to extenuating circumstances. UC San Diego employees must use UCPath to update their payment information.

Use Payment Compass to search for payments being made to a payee that are in progress or have already been paid.
To get started, search for a payee below using their Name, Supplier Number (Oracle), or Legacy ID (IFIS Vendor ID). You may also search by using an invoice or PO number from Oracle, Concur report key, or legacy transaction ID number from Marketplace, MyPayments, or MyTravel.
Payment Compass is accessible to external payees and the campus community.
There are two main focus areas:
- Consolidated access to Payment Status information for UC San Diego employees and external Payees
- Streamlined processes for payee registration, invoice submission, and invoice tracking

Registering Faculty, Staff, and Students to receive payments
As on July 1st, 2020, any UC San Diego Employees (or Student Employees) should not register in Payment Compass. They should ensure that their information in UC Path is up-to-date.
Any non-employee Students should still self-register as before. Please refer to the Payment Compass Registration Knowledge Base Article for more directions on this process.
Registering affiliates, contingent workers, and former employees
When inviting an affiliate, contingent worker, or former employee to register in Payment Compass, you must send their invitation to register to a personal email address (example: @gmail.com, @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.) for the invitation and registration to be processed properly. These individuals should not be treated as employees, and they will not be able to access Payment Compass via Single-Sign On. They should use the personal email address that the invitation was sent to in order to access Payment Compass.
For Affiliates, please make sure their non-UCSD email address is not tied to their UCSD account.
