Once an invoice is processed in SAP, it is sent electronically to the Cost Centre Manager for approval. The invoice is routed based on the manager's active signature card.
It is the Cost Centre Manager's responsibility to:
- Regularly check their Universal Worklist in myEMS (SAP);
- Quickly approve or reject invoices that pertain to them; and
- Request BADM activation in myEMS for an incumbent if he/she is out of office.
Section 34 Checklists have been developed for guidance.
