Abstract
This particular study was conducted to investigate the Role of ERP (Oracle Business Suit) on Procurement Practice measured in terms of four dimensions; namely, (Improving Procurement
Practice, Sharing of Information, Decision Making and Integrate Departments) and Procurement Practices in the case of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Due to the small size of
the entire population, the study relied on a census survey to compare the dependent and independent variables statistically. Quantitative data gathering is assigned to roles. A total of
150Questionnaires were employed as the official tool to make the response of them were filled and returned, rate of about 62%.The findings of the study suggested that all the dimensions of
Role of ERP (Oracle Business Suit) on Procurement Practice have statistically significant relationship with Procurement Practice though the strength of the relationship is relatively
higher in the case of Improving Procurement Practice and Integrate Departments. Improvement of Procurement Performance and Integrate Departments has statistically significant beta values
and their respective standardized coefficients (beta values) indicate the relative importance of both dimensions in predicting the dependent variable, namely Procurement Practice of the bank.
The regression results also suggested that Improvement of Procurement Performance and Integrate Departments have significant impact on determining the bank’s Procurement Practice.
It is suggested that the Banks shall give special emphasis in the improvement of Procurement Performance and integration of departments.
