If the recipient does not have a Banner vendor number and the cumulative amount to be paid to them for the study for the calendar year is $200 or more, set up the recipient as a vendor as outlined in 8.5 Vendor Setup and Maintenance, and proceed to Step #3.
If the recipient has a Banner vendor number, proceed to Step #3.
