If your agency uses Workflow, the PO User ID Route to Details page displays information about the Workflow routing, which the agency provides in the PO upload. This report provides the following information:
Information about the vendor
Cost Center, Business Unit, and Department ID assigned to the Disburser user
ALCs associated with this Disburser user
Functions assigned to the Disburser user by Level of Workflow (Authorize, Edit, or Confirm)
The name of the individual Workflow routes the invoice to
To see how the invoice would route through Workflow, run the Workflow Prediction report. The report displays the invoice assignee and at what stage it appears in the Workflow process, based on the invoice date. You can only run the report on POs with an “open” status. The report uses the full amount on the PO when predicting Workflow routing. If you previously ran the report for the selected PO, its contents remain on the page until you run a new report. A date and timestamp are visible for any report already run. Data in the report can be printed or exported to a spreadsheet. If you have permission to view the PO then you can run the report.
The Workflow Prediction report helps the Disburser Administrator validate that the configuration settings for invoices routed to users based on PO data are correct.
