Approving MSS Transactions

   Overview   

System Managers will be able to approve the following MSS transactions through the OneUSG Connect workflow process:

  • Ad Hoc Salary Change
  • Request Leave Balance Adjustment
  • Request Change to Time and Absence Approver
  • Security Request
  • Retirement Request
  • Termination Request

This article will show the step-by-step process of how to approve an Ad Hoc Salary Change. The article will also show pages and fields that you will use to approve the remaining transactions. 

Since the approval steps are the same for all of these transactions, only one example will be shown (Ad Hoc Salary Change) on how to go through the entire approval process. The remainder of the article will walk through the pages of the rest of the transactions and review the fields that you will use in the approval process.
