EPM Budget Reports Slow Today

This just in from the Budget Department: The automatic EPM budget reports are running slow today for some unknown reason. Please be patient, and try not to run any budget reports yourself until tomorrow, if you can wait. Thank you.

New Approval Procedures for Travel Expenses

Within the next day or so, the district will send out an e-mail to all district staff about new procedures for those folks who do the approvals for travel expenses. Please be sure to look for this e-mail, and print it out to keep it handy. Read it thoroughly. Be sure to share the new procedures with your Approver (principal, department head, manager, site administrator, etc.).

What it boils down to is that beginning on June 5, 2006, Approvers will no longer be able to approve Travel Authorizations and Expense Reports until these items have first successfully passed the budget-check process, and therefore received a "Valid" budget status. This is a good thing...it means that all travel will only be approved as long as the money is in place and available to pay for it.

If you have any questions about the new procedures, please contact your Accounts Payable "Vendor" specialist. To find out the name and information of the person you should contact, please click here.
