RA signature of BEF forms
by Francesca Bronder
Good morning,
Question for the group: do RAs need to sign the BEFs, or approval is given to the financial transaction once entered in People Soft? I was asked to sign a BEF (old form) which still ask for "RSC Approval" signature.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Francesca Bronder, M.A.

Hi Justin,
Just to add to Josie's email:
A ticket was generated by OSP and assigned to me for an award negotiation/incoming award. I received the email regarding a comment stating to "submit an updated budget for the award". However, there is still nowhere to add comments (questions, updates, etc) or submit any additional documents.
Here is a screenshot of what I see on my end:

Hello everyone,
OSP's ServiceNow ticketing system is now live. As discussed last week, all requests to OSP should be submitted through a ServiceNow ticket. Below is the link to the portal. Please note that you will need to log in with your abc123 username and passphrase to view the OSP tickets.

Re: OSP ServiceNow is Live!

Hi Justin,
Just to add to Josie's email:
A ticket was generated by OSP and assigned to me for an award negotiation/incoming award. I received the email regarding a comment stating to "submit an updated budget for the award". However, there is still nowhere to add comments (questions, updates, etc) or submit any additional documents.
Here is a screenshot of what I see on my end:

Please advise.

Justin,
Meghan is still unable to reply to a comment by OSP in ServiceNow.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Hello everyone,
The ServiceNow Development Team has fixed this issue. All RAs should be able to add comments and attachments after they submit ServiceNow tickets now.

Hello,
I'll connect with Ana, I'm coming back after 4 days out with COVID so I need to catch up with the team. However under "My Cases", I am able to open tickets I've submitted and type in a new message and upload attachments. Is this something you all see on your end too?

Hi - we've all had this problem in science. We had talked to Ana about it last week. Basically, we cannot add comments after it's been submitted. We cannot reply to emails generated from service now either.
