Workflow
• At CMU we allow other employees such as support staff and/or secretaries to enter trips/reimbursements for the traveler. As a result, we configured workflow so that the traveler MUST verify the trip via’ the workflow inbox and forward it to his/her supervisor.

Workflow Inbox Overview
This was CMU’s first initiative using workflow in SAP.

Verify Reimbursement Voucher
We configured the system to allow 5 business days in the supervisor inbox and 10 business days in the travel department inbox.

Workflow Summary Form
We require the traveler to print this summary form and attach the supporting documentation. It is then mailed directly to the Travel Department.

Workflow ACH Notification
This is the only notification the traveler will receive when his/her reimbursement has been processed.

Lessons Learned
•We changed our week to begin on Saturday in the Weekly Report (PR04)
•WF Training would have been very helpful and quite possibly could have reduced configuration time.
•Buy in from upper managements makes implementation and roll out much smoother.
•Good documentation for training materials is a lifesaver! Users can ‘help themselves’ when they have questions.

•Itutor for training new users
•ESS – Every user nationwide can enter their own trips/reimbursements
