What is iProcurement?
iProcurement provides a web based
method for requestors to create
requisitions, research the status of
requisitions, and receive (PODUP)
delivered orders into the system.

Benefits of iProcurement
IP brings together all of the aspects of creating, manipulating, and
researching requisitions into a single user friendly system.

The screens are clearly labeled, laid out, and easy to understand.

Screens guide the requestor through the entire process from start
to finish.

Checkout options are easy to understand and the design keeps you
out of trouble.

Real Time information.

Receiving and making corrections to receipts has never
been easier.

IP is web based for ease of access and resembles many
