This Information Applies ONLY to Organizations Supported by Houston-based=

Accounts Payable Processing Centers=20

Earlier this week I was pleased to announce that Enron's new procurement an=
d=20
payment tool, iBuyit eProcurement, is now live for those who previously=20
requested IT hardware from IT Central. But there is still more to come! On=
=20
May 1st the iBuyit Payables system will be activated for all organizations=
=20
supported by Houston-based Accounts Payable processing centers. The new=20
iBuyit Payables system will increase the efficiency of the accounts payable=
=20
process by capturing invoices as scanned images at a central point of recei=
pt=20
and routing them electronically for coding, payment authorization, and issu=
e=20
resolution.=20

In preparation for this transition, there are some simple changes to the wa=
y=20
you currently order and pay for goods and services. Following these change=
s=20
will ensure that your invoice is correctly processed through the iBuyit=20
Payables system.=20

Effective immediately, provide vendors with the following information when=

What is an EID?=20
An EID is your External Identification Number (EID). This EID number=20
identifies the purchaser and helps route non-purchase order invoices back t=
o=20
the purchaser electronically through iBuyit. =20

Do I need to use an EID for non-purchase orders?
Yes. When ordering goods and services with a non-purchase order, the=20
purchaser should provide the vendor with the appropriate EID. It is your=
=20
responsibility to communicate to vendors that an EID is now required for=20
non-purchase orders.

Do I need to use an EID for purchase orders?
No. When ordering goods and services with an approved purchase order, you=
=20
should provide the vendor with a purchase order number as you currently do.=
=20


What if I do not know my EID?
All Enron employees are assigned an EID number. If you purchase goods and=

services on behalf of Enron, you need to know your personal EID number. Yo=
