Understanding eProcurement Related Purchasing Roles

Overview

Understanding the Difference Between a Requester and a Shopper

Detailed Information

 An eProcurement Requester:

  • Logs in through PeopleSoft Financials to access the eProcurement tile
  • Creates catalog requisitions (with suppliers available inside Show-Me Shop)
  • Creates non-catalog requisitions (when a PO is needed for a supplier not in Show-Me Shop)
  • Creates Item Master orders (HOSPT Business Unit only)
  • Creates receipts/receiving against Purchase Orders (COLUM/UMSYS/KCITY/STLOU/ROLLA requesters only)
  • Can update funding (MoCode, PS Account) and Location/Ship To Codes
  • Submits the requisition directly to his/her Approver(s)

Information

It takes two (2) users to complete an order:     ePro Requester > ePro Approver

 

 

A Shopper (or Shopper Only):

  • Logs in directly to Show-Me Shop (hosted by Jaggaer)
  • Can browse and build carts with currently available Show-Me Shop suppliers
  • Assigns that cart to an eProcurement Requester who then completes the process (updates funding/shipping, submits Requisition)

Information

It takes three (3) users to complete an order:     Shopper Only > ePro Requester > ePro Approver
