New Travel and Expense Reimbursement Process: Chrome River - Pre-Approval

A closer look at Chrome River Pre-Approval:

Chrome River Pre-Approval allows you to track your spending before it happens and proactively, rather than reactively, enforce Humber policies. Pre-approval allows users to obtain pre-authorization for an expense before a reservation/booking is made – for example, out-of-province business travel. Staff can create requests for categories such as airfare, hotel, meals, and conference registration fees which are then routed automatically for approval based on Humber’s business rules.

End Users:

  • Electronic submission replaces the existing paper/PDF-based format
  • Easily track a submitted pre-approval request
  • Ability to recall a submitted pre-approval request that has not been approved
  • Ability to attach supporting documentation for a pre-approval request
  • Easily convert your approved pre-approval expense report into a reimbursement expense report – eliminates double entry

Approvers:

  • Receive email notifications and electronically approve/disapprove requests
  • Electronically return a pre-approval request (i.e. request more information, request for adjustment) during the approval process
  • Quick access to view pre-approval request and supporting documentation
  • Streamline the approval process

UAT is complete!

Last week we successfully completed User Acceptance Testing. UAT ensures the system has been built to meet Humber’ s business needs. A select group of end users were invited to participate in four test sessions. The users tested and confirmed that the system is ready for production. Users tested Chrome River’s Travel & Expense module, including Pre-approvals and Cash Advance.

Thank you to all of the participants!
