Issue
A new or temporary Department Manager needs to be named. How can this be done?
Resolution
For temporary changes, an alternate workflow approver is designated for an individual Department Manager - not for a Dept ID - for a specific time period. This can be done in M-Pathways.
M-Pathways (preferred method)
In the M-Pathways Financials & Physical Resources system, navigate to Set up Financials/Supply Chain > Approval Profile > Approval Profile, and make the appropriate changes.
Emergency Change
- If there is an emergency and the Department Manager cannot prepare for their absence, please contact the Shared Services Center (SSC) at 615-2000 to handle re-assignments of transactions currently in workflow
Permanently Change
- If the Department Manager needs to be changed permanently, download and complete the Department form, available on the Shared Services Center website at: https://teamdynamix.umich.edu/TDClient/40/Portal/Requests/TicketRequests/NewForm?ID=zx3DnKRMIHs_
- Or navigate to ssc.umich.edu > Accounting Services tab > Chartfield Requests > Department > Department Request link
- If you have questions or need assistance completing this request, call the Shared Services Center at (734) 615-2000
- Once Financial Operations receives the form, the information is updated in Wolverine Access. This information is refreshed for the Data Warehouse on a weekly schedule, following the Financial schedule
