What’s next:

Submitted data changes cannot be edited. If a data change is submitted incorrectly, you will need to withdraw and resubmit a new one.

What options are there to follow up on the action after it’s submitted?

The action initiator (submitter) can follow up on (e.g. view approval information) the submitted action by locating it in the initiated tasks section of the Worklist.

Once submitted the data change request will route to the following:

  1. The line manager (supervisor) of the employee being transacted upon.

  2. The funding source manager(s) for the employee assignment home department/HR Department. Example, employee has a job in Athletics, the home department of the employee assignment is 97400

  3. Graduate College if the transaction includes job codes: 49120, 49110, 49111, 49181, 49180

  4. Human Resources

  5. College / Division is the last approval

  6. Provost if the person being transacted upon is faculty

If other individuals need to be included in the approval workflow (e.g. Principal Investigator for sponsored project funded transactions) the funding source manager must add the approvers as an AdHoc action.

Important Note: If the employee being transacted upon is not a faculty member, the name of the initiator will display as the last approver in the approval workflow. The initiator does not need to approve the transaction, Bronco Hub will automatically approve after all other approvals have been completed.
