In order to create an ad hoc payment, must the payee be an existing supplier in the tenant?

To create an ad hoc payment in Workday, it is not necessary for the payee to be an existing supplier in the tenant. Ad hoc payments are designed to be flexible and can be made to individuals or entities that may not be set up as formal suppliers within the system. This allows for one-time payments to a variety of payees without the need to establish a supplier relationship in advance.

The nature of ad hoc payments means that they can facilitate transactions quickly and easily, accommodating scenarios such as reimbursements or payments to contractors that do not require a full supplier setup. This capability supports agility in financial processes, enabling organizations to respond swiftly to payment needs.

In contrast, if the requirement was that the payee must always be an existing supplier, it would limit the system's versatility and the ease with which users can manage miscellaneous payments.
