Submitted Invoice Payments route to:

  1. Line manager of the employee listed as the “Requester” in the Invoice (or Digital) Payment;

  2. Fund manager of the Department segment included in the “Charge Account” field of the Invoice (or Digital) Payment.

The request will route to additional approvers if the following conditions apply:

  1. PI if project funds are used;

  2. Department Chair or Director for amounts greater than $10,000 but less than $24,999;

  3. Department Dean or AVP for amounts greater than $25,000 but less than $49,999;

  4. VP for amounts greater than $50,000.

After department approvals are complete, the request routes to Payables for review and processing.

Appropriated and Local Summary – BvA

The Budget vs Actuals (BvA) Reports should be reviewed at least once per month to monitor department-specific financial activity for combinations of funding segment string values by fund. For more information about BvA Reporting, visit Financial Reporting.

Department Financial Summary Review

Prior to approving financial transactions, the department funding source person is responsible for confirming the availability of funds.

  1. For transactions coded to an appropriated fund, run the Remaining Appropriated Budget Report. This report provides a summary of the remaining budget for appropriated funding sources.

  2. For transactions coded to a local fund, run the Local Budget Variance Report. This report provides a summary of the budget and actual expenses for local funding sources.
