Currently no transactions are to be approved between the SPO Data Entry/Approval Date and the Payroll Finalized Date (blackout period). During this period we run reports and resolve issues on those reports behind the scenes. If a SPO approves a transaction during this period, our reports are no longer valid, and the SPO may undo several hours of work that was done to fix an issue (if the document approved overrides or affects the issue we resolved).
THE BELOW ONLY APPLIES TO ADT-AT AND SHORT-TERM ADOS ORDERS
If the ADT-AT orders or Short-Term ADOS orders have a begin date on/or after the SPO Data Entry/Approval date and BEFORE the Payroll Finalized Date, SPOs are authorized to approve the orders (put in "En route" status). DO NOT approve orders on Payroll Finalize Date (it will cause payroll finalize to error out). ONLY orders with a begin data that falls within these specifics date ranges are authorized to be put in an "En route" status.
To reiterate...ONLY ADT-AT OR SHORT-TERM ADOS ORDERS WITH A BEGIN DATE THAT FALLS WITHIN THESE SPECIFIC DATE RANGES ARE AUTHORIZED TO BE APPROVED DURING THE BLACKOUT PERIOD.
