If a report has been routed to you in error, please notify the submitter of this error. Please let the ECE Finance team and Kyle Dukart know of this routing error, including the name and x500 of the submitter, the person who received the report in error, and the person the report should have been routed to.
Current best practice is for the person who received the report to forward the email to the correct approver or supervisor for review. Once the report has been reviewed, the approver or supervisor will notify the person who received the report in error about what actions to take ‒ either to approve the report or to return the report for additional work. The approver or supervisor should communicate the necessary adjustments needed to the submitter.
Reports can be modified within 90 days of submission as long as they are pending approval or have been returned.
Submitted reports may require edits if information is missing or inaccurate. Different actions may be taken depending on the necessary type of edit required.
The submitter can recall a report at any time unless a report has been fully approved. When a report is recalled, it deletes any existing approvals and will be rerouted for all approvals.
Allowable Edits after Recall:
change report name
change header’s business purpose
edit, add, delete expense lines
Approvers can return a report for modification. After modifications are made and the report is resubmitted, the report will route directly back to the approver who returned it.
Allowable Edits after Return
(made by submitter):
change report name
change business purpose
change dollar amounts
delete expense lines
edit allocations for existing expenses
change expense types (itemized expenses cannot be changed to non-itemized expenses and vice versa)
expense lines can be deleted
new expenses lines cannot be added
Approvers can adjust specific items in the report without returning the report to the submitter for correction.
Allowable Edits by Adjustment:
dollar amounts
allocation
account code (only to account codes available within current expense tile)
