Following our previous communication regarding PI Approvals in RSSP, we are pleased to share that the Option 3 workaround provided by Oracle has received positive feedback from testers in the Oracle Training environment. Based on this feedback, Business & Financial Services will move forward with deploying Option 3 this week.

Option 3 Recap
With this update, users can add an ad hoc approver when creating a requisition by selecting “Ad Hoc FYI Reviewer.” The requisition will first route to the added approver before continuing through the standard workflow. This feature is most commonly used to include a PI in the approval process for requisitions under $10,000 that use extramural funds, but is also available for non-project requisitions. While not required, the Ad Hoc Approver option is now available to enhance your workflow.

Training Guide
The “Add an Ad Hoc Approver(s) (RSSP)” training guide will be available in Training Resources immediately upon deployment.

Thank you for your continued engagement and partnership.

Sincerely,
