Based on feedback from our campus users and the number of support requests submitted to the Financial Support Center, FMS is introducing a new Oracle Financials Inquiry Tool to improve system efficiency and awareness of transactions requiring pending action by yourself or others. The new Pending Transactions Inquiry Tool is designed to provide a consolidated, integrated tool where users can obtain information about all of their specific purchasing and business expense transactions in one place. The Pending Transactions tool is powered by Incorta software which is an Operations Intelligence Tool. It’s built for preparers, verifiers and approvers of transactions, providing the status of the user's pending transactions, including: 

  • Expense Requests transactions (ERS) including Expense Reports, Advances, Visitor Reimbursements, and Non-PO Payment Requests
  • iProcurement transactions including Requisitions & Requisition Change Orders
  • PCard Verifications
  • Supplier and Payee Requests
  • Supplier Invoices
Improved Functionality
  • Easily view a list of transactions waiting for approval
  • Access Oracle Workflow Notifications directly to review and approve transactions
  • View the status of in-progress transactions
  • View lists of aging PCard and TCard transactions
  • Drill into certain Oracle transactions for additional information (ER’s, Requisitions, PCard transactions)
  • Download list of transactions to Excel or CSV reports
  • View dashboard data breakdown via data or chart 

Application Structure
