Accounts Payable

All Travel Requests and Expense Reports follow the same basic workflow.

1. User submits the Request/Report.
2. User’s Manager will be the first to review and approve.
   • Student non-employees will skip this step.
3. Cost Object Approver will be next to review and approve.
   • These approvers are determined by the index(es) being charged. Users must make sure all allocations are correct to ensure the proper workflow for the Request/Report.
   • For grant-funded expenses, the P.I will approve, followed by Grants Accounting.
4. User’s Vice President or Dean will only be included to review and approve for any policy exceptions generated within the Request/Report.
5. Accounts Payable is the final office to review and approve.

If any approver returns the report for correction, the workflow will be reset.
