On Friday, March 29 , an update will be made to transaction routing for Service Centers. Previously, for individuals assigned both the Rep and Lead security roles (Business Operations Service Center or Grants Operations Service Center) the transaction did not route for an additional approval. Moving forward, this feature will be turned off. If an individual has both security roles (Rep and Lead) the transaction will now route for an additional approval.

Additionally, for Requisition Worklet users, on the top of the page to the left of the shopping cart, a new question mark icon will be available that when clicked will provide basics on how to use the tool.

Beginning Friday, March 15 , all non-PO internal supplier invoice lines over $5,000 tied to the OSP Grant Hierarchy will route to the Grants Shared Service Center for review prior to posting. This review is to help ensure that grants are charged only approved internal billing rates, charges are in compliance with the grant agreement, and have appropriate supporting documentation. If there are no published rates and/or the rates do not match what is itemized on the requisition/quote or invoice that supports billing to OSP grants, the Grants Shared Service Center will be sending back the transactions.
New “stand-in” supplier called “SIR New Supplier Request - SPL-0000012” was created to aid end users in submitting payment requests via "Supplier Invoice Request" when a new supplier is being requested.
