What is eProcurement?

eProcurement is Vanderbilt's purchasing system that enables the online creation and submission of requisitions. Additionally, based on the center number(s) used and dollar amount on the requisition, eProcurement routes the requisition to the appropriate person for approval and ultimately transmits the purchase order to the vendor.

Please read this brief  Confidentiality Statement  prior to using this system.

ATTENTION – CompUSA is Going Out of Business
CompUSA has announced it is ceasing operations by the end of December and will be closing all stores, shutting down their website and liquidating their inventory. Effective immediately, all discount plans and Net 30 day payment terms are canceled. All orders must be done on a cash and carry basis at each retail store. Pcards will be accepted but keep in mind all prices will be at retail levels.

These contract suppliers offer discounted prices and terms and orders can be placed via eProcurement. If you have any questions regarding CompUSA, please contact Purchasing Agent Dolores Anderson in Procurement Services at

New Web Report!
Do you ever need to know which PO number was created for a Requisition? There is a new report available in Procurement and Disbursements web reporting that allows you to get the information online. It's listed under Procurement and Disbursements, and is named PO Detail by Requisition. You are prompted for a Requisition ID, and the PO information is displayed in the results. Using this report, you can view all purchase orders for centers on which you are either an eDog Viewer, eProcurement Reviewer, or eProcurement Executor. Purchase Order information is updated nightly, so POs that are dispatched one day will be available for reporting the following day.

If you do not currently have access to view the reports, you can obtain access by completing the form at the link below:

http://www.vanderbilt.edu/stop/forms/uploads/Business_Objects_Security_form.doc
You should request access to the APPO universe, and route the completed form to the appropriate Business Objects Security Liaison (listed on page 2 of the form).

Online training is available from the eProcurement Resource page under the Web Reports Reference Materials heading. If you have questions, please send an e-mail message to eprocurement_questions@list.vanderbilt.edu.
