ePro is for purchasing items not available on eBuy or by using a PCard, such as:
- Items that require a Purchase Order
- All transactions over $25,000
- Purchases that require special approval
- Orders over PCard and eBuy purchase limits
ePro lets you create an electronic purchase request and then automatically manages the online workflow approval process in order to streamline your purchase. Once you (the Requestor) enter a requisition, an approved Requisition Approver reviews it, checks for funds availability, and then routes the requisition back to us in Procurement so that we can create a Purchase Order.
To submit an order, this ePro Requisition Worksheet Form can be used to provide information to your Division Requisition Preparer. However, some divisions have their own unique forms as well. Please contact your Division Office or Requisition Preparer to inquire. Please include applicable forms found on the Acquisition Preparation Matrix.
Monitoring Purchases – A query is available in BAR called Purchases with Line Detail that can be run by anyone to look up acquisitions using the following data fields: requestor, buyer, certifier, or vendor. It can also be run to identify purchases by project and project activity or vendor, and other parameters.
You can use this query to monitor the purchases made by your staff or in your area to ensure appropriateness and allowability.
