海角社区 (Tax ID 72-6000848) is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) exempt from taxation.

海角社区 uses a shared Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system called Workday. Workday replaced the legacy procurement  system and supplier database. It is used by the 海角社区 campuses in Baton Rouge, Alexandria, Eunice, and Shreveport; the 海角社区 AgCenter and its statewide Research Stations; and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. The new Supplier Database supports the University's purchasing and accounting functions.

Suppliers or individuals requiring payment for goods or services must complete the online Supplier Registration Form. The secure web form replaces the legacy paper supplier application. To ensure audit compliance and protection of company/personal information, the supplier must complete the online registration form to request setup in Workday. 海角社区 Employees are prohibited from submitting applications on behalf of a supplier or individual. The standard turnaround time for supplier setup in Workday is 3-5 business days.
