SUBJECT: Procurement Update - Ad Hoc Approvers Coming Week of Jan 3
TO: Requesters, Approvers
Jaggaer (SciQuest) Enhancement:
This is a reminder that starting the week of January 3, 2024, requesters and approvers will be able to insert AD HOC APPROVERS into their requisitions. An AD HOC APPROVER is an additional approver added into the workflow of a specific requisition. Use AD HOCS to include someone who is not ordinarily part of your approval process, but whose approval you want documented with the requisition.

SUBJECT: Simpler, Safer Login Process for eProcurement (SciQuest) Amazon Punch Out
TO: Shoppers, Requesters, Approvers
Tulane eProcurement users:
Beginning tomorrow, August 9, 2023, the Amazon punch out catalog in eProcurement (SciQuest) will start using the Tulane single-sign-on (SSO) platform. SSO, as seen below, is a simpler and more secure login method to access Tulane services. Employees will no longer need to use a separate password for the Amazon punch out and instead will use their Tulane email and password followed by the Duo multi-factor authentication prompt.
