Scenario 1: Verify Configurations
This scenario uses a login credential for the "Travel Coordinator." For testing purposes, this login is generic for each college. If you need additional page access associated with the Travel Coordinator for your college, please submit a Service Desk Ticket.
For this activity there are two Task Force Recommendations you are exploring:
- TF 1.5 - Organizational Data > Cash Advance Level
- TF 4.1 - Requiring Receipts Functionality
Both configurations are visible with the security role: ZD Expenses Central Conf Inq
Navigate to: Setup FSCM > Business Unit Related > Expenses > Expenses Definition
-
Verify Cash Advance Level Configuration Meets College Needs
Cash Advance Levels come either from the dollar value associated with the Business Unit, or a specific amount associated with each individual traveler (on their traveler profile). This configuration value sets the MAXIMUM amount that can be requested by ALL travelers at your college, unless overridden on their individual Travel Profile. If a traveler is not specifically allowed to request a cash advance, this can be set to None for an individual traveler on their profile.- Review the max level for your college. If you want it adjusted in the test environment submit a service desk ticket.
- Follow this QRG LINK (Defining Business Unit Cash Advance Level) : FIN: Local Configuration Guide - Travel Expenses - Expense Definition - Business Unit 1 Tab
-
Verify Requirement Receipt Configuration Meets College Needs
- Compare the list of Expense Types that 'Never' require an attached receipt to the revised list of Expense Types (see Excel spreadsheet below). Are there NEW Expense Types that will need to be added to the list of Expense Types that 'Never' require an attached receipt? If changes are needed, file a support ticket to ask for Expense Types to be added/removed from your configuration.
- Follow this QRG LINK (Expense Definition - Receipts Required Tab): FIN: Local Configuration Guide - Travel Expenses - Expense Definition - Receipts Required Tab
List of NEW and Revised Expense Type Values (configured in the PCP environment ONLY of PoC Testing):
KEEP IN MIND: The values in PCP were copied from Production, but any changes requested will be made in the PCP TEST environment. Changes to these configurations would impact test scenarios but would not impact Production. If you want to change these configurations in Production, have conversations with the relevant parties on your campus and submit a change request using the Service Desk ticketing system to enact that change.
Are you curious how these configuration values impact the Traveler Experience?
When the Cash Advance Level is set to a maximum amount for the institution, it will apply to ANY traveler that doesn't have a specific Cash Advance Level set just for them on their Traveler Profile (bottom of the Organizational Data tab).
Optional QRG LINK (Traveler Profile) : Editing Employee Organizational Data (step 10) - to see where the Cash Advance Level appears for the traveler.
When the Enforce Receipt Preferences is set to (x) Enforce Receipt all Expense Types will require that the traveler attach a receipt, UNLESS they at using an Expense Type on the list below, marked as 'Never' requiring a receipt. The requirement to add attachments or be forced to make a comment is controlled by this configuration.
The list below will be used to login to the PCP environment as the "Travel Coordinator" These User Profiles have been added to the PCP environment to enable colleges to experience the Traveler Coordinator role for any steps in the process that requires this access. Login using the provided Username and the generic password of: Travel123!
Please keep in mind the data in the PCP environment is scrambled and scrubbed and is not a direct representation of actual live transactions.
