  3. iExpense Legacy Process • Employee logs into iExpense and submits Expense Reports • Employee gets a failure notification if the employee manager is not found in the approval setup • Employee raises a ticket • Functional Analyst analyzes the issue • Functional Analyst Redirect employee to contact HR to get the Cost Center and Manager info • Employee contacts HR dept to furnish this information • Functional Analyst gets the Approval Matrix Information and sets up the Manager Limits in correct Responsibility

  4. iExpense Stats • iExpense at Yahoo! • 250 iExpense Cost Centers • 6000 iExpense Users • 35 iExpense Responsibilities • 1300 New Expense Reports per month

  5. iExpense Maintenance Nightmare • Maintenance Nightmare • The ER volume makes it a maintenance nightmare • Manual Intervention for ERs returned because of setup • Results in loss of Productivity for HR/Finance as they have to intervene to do the Approval Setup • End user frustrated as the payment gets delayed

  6. The Solution • Selected Workflow Changes over Scheduled Job • Added a new custom function in Workflow to add/update the Approval Limits if required • Approval Limits are added to all required Supervisors in the HR hierarchy • Approval Limit gets updated if there is change in the Limits • Approval Limits are read from Requisition Approval Limits • Requisition Approval Limits are tied to Job Level of Person

  7. The Solution • Requisition Approval Limits are tied to Job Level of Person – How do we maintain these? • 4000 Job Titles • 10 Job Levels (e.g. Yahoo! Global 30, 40…) • Requisition Approval Limit is based on the Job Level • Custom form to maintain these Limits • Any change triggers of Process to update the Requisition Approval Groups

  8. Solution Gains • This change simplified the Requisition Approval Matrix • Just one Approval Amount limit for iExpense as well as Requisitions • Eliminated Manual Intervention in the Process • Intelligent enough to add Approval Limits to all levels required • Flexible enough to update Approval Limits in case of changes
