EIS TrainingElectronic Procurement (ePro) TrainingAs many of you are aware, the electronic procurement (ePro) module of EIS has been implemented. We have discontinued the use of paper requisition forms as of September 1, 2004. ePro requires training for both the ePro Coordinator (individual performing entry/creation/tracking of the purchasing requisition) and the DeptID and/or the Project Holder (Approver). Computer security will not be established until individuals have completed the required training. At this time, classes will be conducted at the Research Park, EIS Training Room. Directions given at time of registration. Please note: We reserve the right to cancel or change the training location for class attendance under 3. Next class is scheduled for Tuesday 06/21/05, note the times below:
Please e-mail Tina Koenig, tinak@unt.edu, indicating the time you plan to attend and for which class. If you have not submitted an ePro DeptID Holder Information Form or an ePro Coordinators Information Form, please fill the form out on-line and attach it to your email requesting registration. This is necessary in order to establish security for your use of the system. GroupWise TrainingInformation about GroupWise training can be found at the GroupWise Support site.
