  • Expense Report Workflow Change

    On January 6, 2022, a change was implemented with the intent to workflow any Expense Reports with different Cost Centers from the Spend Authorization to the Cost Center Manager(s) regardless of the 20% threshold. This change had an issue that wasn’t caught during testing and was workflowing for all conditions regardless of Cost Center being different. The Expense Report workflow has now been updated and is executing as expected as of today. All Expense Reports will do an additional routing to the Cost Center Manager if over 20% from Spend Authorization.
