iBuyit Payables Overview
When?  iBuyit Payables, a web-based system that will enable you to code and 
approve invoices on-line, was activated on May 1st.

Who?  Invoices that were previously submitted to Houston Accounts Payable for 
processing and payment, will now be processed through iBuyit Payables 
beginning May 1st.  Invoices that are entered into SAP locally (for example, 
at a field location), will not be impacted by iBuyit Payables on May 1st.

How?  This is how iBuyit Payables works (for non-purchase order related 
invoices):
1)  An order is placed with a vendor.  The vendor is provided with the 
company name and number, the contact name, and coder's EID number.
2)  The goods and services are received and the vendor sends the invoice 
(with the company name and number, the contact name, and coder's EID number ) 
to the new PO box.
3)  Accounts Payable scans the invoice, enters invoice header information 
into SAP, and electronically routes the invoice through iBuyit Payables for 
coding.
4)  The coder receives an e-mail with a link to iBuyit Payables, logs into 
the system with their PID and password (SAP/eHRonline password), and codes 
the invoice.
5)  The coder should either forward the invoice for approval or approve the 
invoice, according to the invoice review and approval guidelines of their 
business unit.
6)  Upon approval, the invoice is finalized, posted in SAP, and paid.

iBuyit Payables Check List
Following Are the Steps that You Should Take to Prepare for iBuyit Payables:
1)  Code and Approve Invoices in iBuyit Payables
*  Effective immediately, no longer manually code invoices with coding 
sheets.  
*  Effective immediately, remind vendors to submit invoices directly to the 
new PO Box.  If you receive an invoice, forward it to Accounts Payable via an 
AP drop box or mail to the new PO Box:  PO Box 4734, Houston, TX 77210-4734, 
ATTN:  Enron Accounts Payable.  Be sure to include the company name and 
number, contact name, and the coder,s EID on the invoice, but do not include 
a coding sheet.
*  Beginning May 1st, when you receive an e-mail from 
iBuyit.Payables@enron.com, click on the link provided, login to the system, 
and code and approve invoices online in iBuyit Payables.
*  Beginning May 8th, any invoices with coding sheets received by Accounts 
Payable will be entered into iBuyit Payables and electronically routed back 
to the coder. The invoice will then need to be coded and approved (again) in 
iBuyit Payables to generate a payment. 
*  Continue to follow the invoice review and approval guidelines of your 
business unit.  Use iBuyit Payables as a tool to electronically facilitate 
the current manual process. 
2)  Confirm Your PID 
You will use your PID and password (eHRonline and/or SAP ID and password) to 
login to iBuyit Payables.  To access your PID and/or reset your password call 
the ISC Call Center at (713) 345-4727 or click on the link to the ISC web

SET_PASSWORD> 
3)  Confirm Your EID
EID (External Identification Number) allows Enron employees to share unique 
identification numbers externally without creating a security risk.  Accounts 
Payable will use EIDs to electronically route invoices through iBuyit 
Payables for coding.  Your EID can be accessed via eHRonline:  log on to 
eHRonline, choose &Personal Information,8 and select &Other.8  Your EID will 
be listed.
4)  Remind Others Who Purchase of Important Vendor Information
If you code invoices, let others know what they need to communicate to 
vendors to expedite invoice processing.  Instruct them to provide the vendor 
with the company name and number, invoice contact name, coder EID, and the 
new PO Box.  (Placing the coder,s EID on the invoice will enable Accounts 
Payable to properly route the invoice for coding in the system.)
