APPS on the Web

The Cornell's Automated Procurement and Payment System (APPS) processes university purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and vendor invoices.  To better take advantage of the benefits of the Internet and easy access to system services, APPS has been transitioned partially from the original mainframe structure into a Web application.

Access APPS

Note: This application is secure and can only be accessed by authorized application users. See CIT Kerberos authentication Web site for help topics.


Please direct all APPS inquiries, including authorization requests, to the APPS "Helpline" at (607) 254-5300.

To set up access for new users, see the APPS Setup Forms.  For instructions on using APPS, see the APPS Instructions.

Things you can do with APPS:

  • Receive and approve blanket order invoices (See receiver and approver tutorials for more information.)
  • View requisitions needing approval (Approve/reject requisitions needing signature authority approval.)
  • Request a purchase  (Use WebReq for requesting a purchase.)

To enter a requisition using our WebReq tool or start the procurement process using Web Forms, visit our Web Forms and Web Requisition page.

To get reports on blanket order and invoice receipts, see the APPS Reports page.
