The purpose of the Advanced Procurement project was to improve price controls and increase efficiencies for Purchasing, Contracts, and Accounts Payable for Oregon Health & Science University. As part of this project, OHSU:
• Implemented an automatic Requisition Price Update functionality that automatically updates requisitions with the contracted price if it is lower,
• Refined the catalog management system and mass loading of contracted price catalogs in the Oracle database,
• Implemented Oracle iSupplier,
• Implemented a blanket price synch process to automatically correct pricing to contracted price,
• Added refinements to our PO Autocreate process to create more purchase orders without buyer intervention, and
• Refined and expanded our procurement category definitions.
Results:
• Over $2.3 million in savings through the requisition price update functionality.
• Increased automated POs by 15%.
• Through registered iSupplier vendors, reduced price holds due to iSupplier Invoice Inquiry.
