Approval Chains

 

Cost Center Manager Hierarchy

The Cost Center Manager (CCM) is an employee designated, for a department code, to be the first approver for any transactions charged to accounts containing that department code. The CCM is typically an administrator or coordinator within the department. There can be only one CCM per department code.

The Cost Center Manager Hierarchy begins with the CCM, escalates to the CCM's supervisor, and continues through a series of supervisors depending on the dollar amount of the transaction. Dollar amount thresholds for each transaction type are listed in the sections below.


 

Supervisor Hierarchy

The Supervisor Hierarchy begins with the supervisor of the employee submitting a transaction and continues through a series of supervisors depending on the dollar amount of the transaction. Dollar amount thresholds for each transaction type are listed in the sections below.

Approval Limits and Additional Info by Transaction Type

The dollar limits for approvals for each transaction type are determined by an employee's Job Level. A transaction moves through its approval chain until it reaches an employee whose Job Level has an approval limit at or above the dollar amount of the transaction. See below for a listing of Job Levels with their associated Jobs, followed by listings of the approval dollar amount thresholds and additional approval information for each transaction type.
