Enhancement to Approval Steps Within Select Finance and Supply Chain Business Processes

Eileen Lehmann | April 29, 2022

For select Finance and Supply Chain business processes, if a user has more than one security role for approval at different steps in a process, one approval now applies to all approval steps. For example, a cost center manager who also holds the role of grant manager will only approve once. For future approvals, the previous approval will apply. The business processes listed in bullet points are impacted by this approve once change, which has been added to Workday production as of Friday, April 29.

  • Change Orders
  • Expense Reports
  • Miscellaneous Payments
  • Requisitions
  • Spend Authorizations
  • Supplier Contracts/Amendments
  • Supplier Invoice
  • Supplier Invoice Requests

 

In certain situations where transactions are split across cost centers and a previous approver is also a department leader, the department leader step may be skipped.  In these cases, the department leader can be added back as an Additional Approver if required. The system capability to do this will be added on Friday, May 6.
