Notice to Vendors
El Paso Electric has transitioned from Oracle E‑Business Suite (EBS) to Oracle Fusion to as part of an effort to strengthen system security, improve visibility into transactions, and streamline how we work with suppliers. Oracle Fusion will serve as the single platform for managing supplier interactions and financial transactions going forward.
To ensure uninterrupted business operations, all current suppliers are required to request access to the new Supplier Portal. Once access is granted, suppliers will be able to:
- Review and manage purchase orders
- Track invoices
- Monitor payment status
- Maintain and update supplier portal information
Why This Is Important
Access to the Supplier Portal is essential for timely communication, accurate processing of invoices, and visibility into payment activity. Suppliers who do not complete the access request and training may experience delays or limited access to transaction information as legacy systems are retired.
What to Expect Going Forward
Oracle Fusion will be the system of record for supplier transactions. Training sessions will be provided to walk suppliers through the new portal, key processes, and available tools. Additional support will be available to help ensure a smooth transition.
Required Actions
- Submit the Supplier Portal Access Request Form to initiate access.
- Attend a live training session (AM/PM options will be offered; schedule forthcoming).
- If individualized assistance is needed, submit the 1:1 Support Request Form.
