Workflow

1. A MIPR may be created by a MIPR Initiator or a MIPR Submitter. Initiators may create the document but cannot submit the document for processing. Submitters may create and submit the document.
2. Processing of the document is then dependent on data entered in the MIPR document.
3. When creating the document, there are four location codes which may be entered that equate to the various MIPR roles. The Requesting Agency is the location code for the Initiator and/or Submitter. Initiators are assumed to be within the same location code designation as the Submitter. So if a MIPR Initiator for location code FU4417 creates a MIPR, the document would then go to the inbox of MIPR Submitter for location code FU4417. The Submitter can then submit the document for processing. Or the document may be created and submitted by the MIPR Submitter alone. The user enters a location for Initiator/Submitter as the Requesting Agency.
4. The next location code to be entered is the Funding Agency. This is the location code of the MIPR Financial Manager who will enter the accounting data. If accounting data is entered by the initiator/submitter in Section G of the document, the funding status may be set to Certified when the document is submitted. If the document funding status is Certified, the document will bypass the role of Financial Manager after submission. If accounting data is not entered when submitting the MIPR, the funding status should be set to Awaiting Certification and the document is routed to the inbox of the Financial Manager for entry of accounting information. Even if document is to be entered with accounting data and Certified funding status, therefore bypassing the role, the location code for the Financial Manager is still mandatory.
5. Next is the optional location code for the Requesting Approver. This is the Submission Approver role for MIPR. If entered, the document will be routed to the Requesting Approver inbox after the document is Certified by the Financial Manager. Or if document is Certified when submitted, it will skip the Financial Manager and go straight to the Requesting Approver. This is an optional role and if no location is entered for the role, the document goes to the Servicing Agency inbox and skips this role.
6. Finally, we have the Servicing Agency. This is the location code for the Acceptor of the document. This is a mandatory role and the final processing role for the MIPR document. The document processing is completed once the document is approved by the Servicing Agency Approver.
