Procedures

The approval role is formally called the Fiscal Approver in the HRMS system. The same individual cannot be both the Fiscal Approver and the Payroll Processor, who enters and submits the payroll data on the payroll voucher.

Delegation authority for the Fiscal Approver role resides with the Fiscal Officer. Current e-doc functionality does not include a routable document to delegate authority on financial e-docs related to human resources and payroll. Therefore, when changes to the fiscal approver occur for HRMS, one of two available options is required:

• The person initiating the KFS organization document to change the Fiscal Approver must include the Fiscal Officer of the accounts associated with the HRMS organizations in the approval process. This is accomplished by “ad hoc” routing the document to the appropriate Fiscal Officer.

• The Fiscal Officer of the accounts associated with the HRMS organizations must send an email to the person initiating the KFS organization document approving the change.
