Vendor Number and Payment Account

  • Vendor Number: Your vendor number is sent directly to you by Boots via email. Locate a Locum is not involved in this process.

  • Payment Account Status: For updates on your payment account status, you must contact Boots directly at sapvendormaintenance@boots.co.uk. Please be aware that this process can take up to three weeks.

Claiming for Payment

  • Keep Your Details Updated: Your bank details must be up to date on both your Locate a Locum profile and your SAP Vendor account. If your SAP Vendor account is not active, Boots will not be able to pay you.

  • Payment Schedule: Payments are generally made within 14 days of your shift.

    • Payroll is processed every Tuesday.

    • You will receive your payslip on Wednesday.

    • Payment is made on Friday.

Vaccination Services (England)

If you are a locum pharmacist providing the NHS England Pharmacy Influenza Vaccination PGD in a Boots store:

  1. Complete the Practitioner declaration on the PGD.

  2. Sign a copy of the PGD at each store where you work.

  3. Take evidence of your training and additional requirements to each store.

  4. Show the evidence to the Authorising Manager (Store Manager or Area Manager).

  5. The Authorising Manager must 'sign you off' as competent.

  6. Leave a copy of your Declaration of Competence in the store, attached to the signed PGD.

Once these steps are complete, you can begin vaccinating.
