Use of Oracle iProcurement

Oracle iProcurement is the end-user component of the purchasing module of the University’s RUFirst (RU Fully Integrated Resource and Services Tool) that allows employees to enter requisitions for goods and services on-line. The RUFirst also has administrative modules that are managed by and support the Business and Finance Office, Human Resources, and Purchasing Department. IT provides technical support of the RUFirst system.

The University maintains a separate website for the RUFirst system that can be accessed directly at https://rufirst.rockefeller.edu/ or from links at the Purchasing, ISS, and Human Resources websites. A full manual on the use of Oracle iProcurement is available on-line.
