eProcurement 9.2 has a functionality implemented called Transparent Punchout, which allows users to access the online catalogs of their suppliers (Internal Catalogs, Web Catalogs, External Catalogs) while at the same time remaining in their requisition pages. The process is transparent to the user even though the eProcurement 9.2 module is punching out to the supplier website and pulling the data back into the system allowing for a smooth, seamless transition from step to the next. So whether you are utilizing and internal or external catalog, the user can tell no difference. In turn, the buyer is able to more efficiently do their job instead of dealing with multiple catalogs in multiple designs.<\/p>\n
eProcurement requisitions store price adjustments from the source regardless if they are related to a particular contract or specific requisition. The benefit is that your purchasing department receives greater in-depth details with respect to price adjustment history, the source of price adjustments and to create detailed reports with respect to price adjustments based on contracts.<\/p>\n

As with most eProcurement systems, eProcurement 9.2 utilized what they call \u201crole actions\u201d within the requisition area. \u00a0Depending on your assigned role within the system, the buyer can perform actions based on categories including Requisition Line Details, Requisition Access, Requisition Display and Requisition Search.<\/p>\n
eProcurement 9.2 also offers approval level functionality on a wide variety of well-known mobile and tablet devices. \u00a0Approvers are able to create journal entries, PO\u2019s, expense reports, requisitions, etc. \u00a0In addition, they can easily approve or reject a transaction depending on their assigned role actions.<\/p>\n
