Purchasing   General Information The purchasing process is the most common means of acquisition for property at Stanford University. Requisitions for property are placed online, using the iProcurement application within Oracle Financials. Purchase requisitions are routed by the requester for approval signatures, orders are placed by Procurement, and receiving of the property is recorded in iProcurement by designated departmental personnel. The entry of the receiving transaction initiates a flow of data into the Sunflower Assets PO Interface from which the Department Property Administrator (DPA) can subsequently create an asset record. Additional training information about the preparation of purchase requisitions may be obtained online.
