We're changing our process...
We're making it simpler and easier for suppliers to transact with the University, making the procure to pay process electronic, simple and efficient.
From April 2021, RMIT is transitioning to Workday - our new Enterprise Resource Platform that will manage the procure to pay process at RMIT.
