Effective August 28, Spend Authorization approval routing in Workday will be updated to further streamline the approval process. There were some instances where these transactions were routing to both the Cost Center Managers and the Grant Managers. This fix will now result in:
- Spend Authorizations containing an OSP grant will route to the Grant Managers for every line if one is assigned to the Cost Center.
- When no Grant Manager is assigned, they will route to the Cost Center Manager.
- Requests will route to one approval role only, not both.
- The threshold requiring Cost Center Director approval is increasing from $5,000 to $10,000.
- The Cost Center Director approval will now be in addition to the Grant Manager or Cost Center Manger approval.
These changes are intended to streamline approvals while maintaining appropriate financial oversight.
