Previously, when users clicked “Save for Later” on the review step of a Miscellaneous Payment Request, the request would incorrectly cancel the event and update the Document Status value to “Draft.” Now, when users select “Save for Later” during the review step, the request updates the Document Status to “In Progress.” Users will then see the business process step as “Saved for Later.”
For colleges and units submitting Internal Service Delivery (ISD) for low dollar amounts, you can now submit under one Internal Service Delivery transaction . The routing has been updated for approval at the line level and not on the ISD total amount, regardless of the number of lines.
