Re: PS Approvals

Hi Carol it is my understanding that if transactions we are reviewing are for Foreign Travel, Capital Equipment or Participant Support i.e. Expenses/Travel, then we "back off" and allow OSP to approve them. Am I correct @Justin Marmolejo<mailto:Justin.Marmolejo@utsa.edu>?

Hello Justin,
Thanks for sharing. How do we determine if the approval is intended for OSP or the RAs that are in the GR_CENTRAL_OFC role? This seems a bit ambiguous. Is there way to flag or something in PS?

Hello everyone,
As mentioned previously, some Research Administrators will remain in the GR_CENTRAL_OFC role in PeopleSoft to approve budget transfers and requisitions. Because of this, those same RAs will receive vouchers, expense reports, and travel authorizations meant for OSP to approve.
With that in mind, for those RAs that are in the GR_CENTRAL_OFC role, please make sure you are not approving any vouchers, expense reports, or travel authorizations on behalf of OSP.
To the OSP staff, please make sure you are approving your workflow daily to help reduce confusion for the Research Administrators on which items they need to approve.
Thanks,
Justin

Hello,
Yes. It was brought to my attention that the routing for eForms didn't update. I am brining this up with BIS.

To clarify: should the RAs be approving eForms? I receive the ones for my team even though I am still in the GCO Role. Meghan and Josie are not getting them in their queue. In the future, will those in the CRA role be getting eForms as well?

Hello,
The TA below was created prior to the update in workflow being pushed to production. That is why you aren't seeing it.
In your new role, are you aware of any documents that didn't route to you? Please provide examples. Because you are not the first approver in the routing chain, things may just not be ready for your approval yet.
Thanks,
Justin

Thank you, but I don't think it is working. For example, we have this case: TA 0000240178, Foreign Travel on P5566, Dr. Ozturk, I am the new Role, COL_RSCH_ADMI but I did not receive it and it is currently at Olga's who is in the old role, GRT_Central. She is not going to approve of course, but based on the training slides you showed us, shouldn't I have received it as well by now? We are a bit confused.
And as of today, in my new role, I still do not receive any type of transaction (Vouchers/Exp Reports/Financial/E-Forms/ Rowdy Req, BT/s) related to my projects. Please advise, thank you
