Assigning System Approvers

If you are a CFO, you will have the responsibility to set up the approvers for your unit. This section provides the instructions to set up the three types of approvers in the UGA Financial Management System.

• Journal Approvers have the responsibility to approve general ledger journals including intra-university charges and correction transactions. They are also responsible for approving budget journals and transfers.
• Spend Approvers who approve payment requests and vouchers.
• Expense Approvers who approve travel authorizations and travel expenses.

You will also find information on how to request a temporary approver to handle your approval responsibilities if you need to be out of the office.
