P2P Monthly User Meeting \u2013 April 14, 2026 10:00 \u2013 11:00am <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Please join us for our monthly P2P User Meeting<\/a> where we will be providing information and updates regarding Independent Contractor Policy and Procedure, Honoraria Policy, Candex Payments and Requisition Preliminary Questionnaire.\u00a0 In addition, we will provide an overview of the ESQP \u2013 Open Markets functionality to create a draft requisition from a quote.<\/p>\n

Independent Contractor Process Updates <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Information sessions<\/a> are being held in April to review what you need to know regarding policy and process changes including forms and procedures.\u00a0 Updates and information can be found on the UR Procurement Website Independent Contractor<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Equipment Quoting Standards Platform (ESQP \u2013 Open Markets)\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h6>\n

Functionality has been added to allow a P2P Initiator to request a draft requisition from a quote in the ESQP Open Markets platform, edit and submit the requisition in Workday, saving time manually creating a requisition based on the quote. To learn more about this, attend the April P2P Monthly User Meeting or attend one of the training sessions<\/a>.<\/p>\n
