Our new financial approver role stems from feedback from the University community since the introduction of the Journal Entry Workflow.  Many department managers want to allow a team member to have access as a Requestor Plus in Smart Source to make purchases, but DO NOT want that team member to be able to approve journal entries.  As such, Procurement Services, IT, and the Comptroller’s Office have teamed up to provide the SWR050 option.  This role basically works in tandem with SSR050, but when assigned to a user’s security profile will EXCLUDE them as an approver in the Journal Entry Workflow application.

Each year, as part of the fiscal year-end process, we ask that you complete and submit any exempt leave reports that remain outstanding for prior reporting periods. All exempt leave reports for the fiscal year must be completed to ensure that time-off balances are correct, since the balances are used in calculating the University's vacation and sick liability for our financial statements.
