    As previously communicated, Procurement is offering users an opportunity to meet virtually with members of our team to discuss best practices for submitting requisitions as efficiently as possible. The Zoom session will cover requisition submission in Workday, the creation of Requisition Worktag Templates, instructions on finding your requisitions after submission, and live Q&A with the audience.

    If you are interested, please register for the following Purchasing/Requisitioning Best Practices and Refresher Training session through the Training Management System (TMS). This session is optional. To access TMS, you must first connect to Yale’s network using a virtual private network (VPN). You can download Cisco VPN AnyConnect from the IT Software Library.
