Routing Rules Details

There are eGC1 approval rules for each unit on campus, based on Cost Center. The schools and departments determine what rules they need which are then coded into SAGE.

There is a rule for each of the following:

  • Cost Center Receiving Funding (CCRF)
  • Personnel Selected Department (PSD) – now Selected Unit
  • Personnel Academic/Admin Home (PAH) – now Primary Position Unit
  • Cost Sharing (CS)
  • Joint Appointment Unit (Joint), To Be Assigned (TBA) Personnel Unit (TBA), Space and/or Resources (Space), Other.  These are organizations which need to review the application not otherwise identified. They are added in the Additional Organizational Unit Reviewers section of the PI, Personnel, & Organizations page.

For each of these rules there may be 1) no action, 2) approval required, or 3) watcher access. If rules are not defined for a specific Cost Center ID, then it inherits the rules from its parent organization.
