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? Kind regards, Carol From: Justin Marmolejo <Justin.Marmolejo@utsa.edu<mailto:Justin.Marmolejo@utsa.edu>> Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2025 4:56 PM To: rowdy.research@lists.it.utsa.edu<mailto:rowdy.research@lists.it.utsa.edu> Subject: [Rowdy.research] PS Approvals Importance: High 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.
