OnBase Workflow Will No Longer Be Used
Dear A&F Colleagues,
In early May, Financial Services sent out a customer satisfaction survey regarding the OnBase Employee Payment Request forms. We listened to your feedback and have decided to transition to Certify, a more user-friendly, cloud-based, and mobile-ready application for expense and travel reimbursements. The new system will go live early next year - an announcement will be made when the Go Live date has been firmed up.
Users will have until close of business on Monday, December 10, 2018 to submit any Travel Expense, Travel Advance, Hospitality Reimbursement, Other Reimbursement, Travel Authorization and Check Request forms in OnBase.
During the transition period, you may utilize the existing paper-based forms.
If you have any questions regarding this change, you may contact Veronica Salvador. For questions about AP forms or policies, please visit the AP website or contact your AP tech.

Associate Vice President, Financial Services
