3. Why eProcurement? ePro is a PeopleSoft product (module) that enables the university to capitalize on vendor connectivity, promote contractual pricing and streamlined ordering of goods. It provides a more user-friendly web requisition experience for those "connected vendors". By utilizing the module, the campus teams will be promoting efficiencies and saving time and money. The ePro module works in conjunction with the purchasing module to source the requisitions to purchase orders and dispatch them to the vendors. 3

4. When the vendor is a "connected vendor", the order is placed by the system. This facilitates quicker processing and delivery by the vendor. The goal is to continue to add vendors to the punchout connection as the purchasing team negotiates contract pricing or is able to take advantage of state contract pricing. Additionally, the ePro module includes a more evolved history tracking on the requisitions and purchase orders created. 4

5. Signing in to Citrix When signing in to Citrix, you will need to use your Citrix user ID (the same user ID and password is used to sign into PeopleSoft), which is your LSUMC- MASTER user ID: Which is the first letter of your first name and the first portion of your last name; there may be digit(s) at the end.
