Administrator Role

The Procurement application administrator is responsible for managing the application, and its:

• Buyers,
• Approvers / Approval Groups, and Reviewers,
• Buying Organizations,
• Roles, and
• Suppliers.

Most of the Administrator's tasks are performed using the Advanced Administration application, to designate permanent buyer roles, logon names and passwords to all users, add new suppliers, currencies, units of measure, and so on:

• Codes
• Setup
• Administer Users
• Administer Organizations
• Administer Roles
• Administer Suppliers

If the Procurement application is integrated with an Enterprise Resource Planning application (also known as an ERP, or back office system), the Administrator may also need to use the Integration Administration application to setup or maintain links and correspondences between the Procurement and ERP applications, such as:

• Buying Organizations
• ERP Systems
• Data Synchronization
• Job Schedules
• Data Mapping
• Flexible User Interface
• Cost Allocation

Both of these administration applications are accessible from the Procurement Home Page Application Administration Menu, but only to those users who have logged on in the Administrator role.
