Finance and Accounting to launch eProcurement with workflow and enhanced DAL functionality
Finance and Accounting is pleased to announce the coming implementation of eProcurement (ePro) requisitioning to UCF Financials. On October 1, 2007, ePro with workflow will completely replace the current requisitioning process in UCF Financials. The ePro module provides UCF the most direct method to begin using a workflow approach to routing purchasing approvals. ePro enables UCF to save money through better spending analysis and directed purchasing, and positions the university to eventually adopt an e-commerce approach, with online catalogs, shopping carts, and checkout, much like purchasing at any major, online retailer. Workflow will use automation to streamline the entire purchasing approval process.
Shortly after ePro goes live, Finance and Accounting plans to deliver an enhanced Departmental Authorization List (DAL) system, in response to feedback generated through the DAL Working Group, a sub-committee of the Financials Focus Group. Approximately two dozen improvements are incorporated into the redesign of the DAL, to make it more responsive to the needs of UCF’s departmental personnel.
A single, online resource is being developed as a centralized source of additional information about these significant changes, and will contain detailed information on ePro, workflow, and the changes to the DAL, including timelines and training availability. The online resource is slated for publication the week of August 20, 2007, and will be available from the Finance and Accounting and Financials Support Services (FSS) Web sites. A further announcement will accompany the release of the online resource.
