2. What is the AP Worklist? • Easy-to-use interface routes invoices on hold directly to the unit that is required to take action prior to payment • Invoices are routed to an individual’s Worklist based on the organization segment of the PTAEO • Users take action on an invoice and directly update Oracle. This eliminates Accounts Payable intervention and improves invoice payment time to Yale suppliers! The AP Worklist is an online tool for Yale business offices to electronically view, process and approve invoices on hold.

What pilot users had to say… “Works great!” Regina Romero, Beinecke Library “I like the fact that the holds show up on one list instead of having to go into the monthly review application. ” Meko Owens-Ward, MRRC/Diagnostic Radiology “This list provides all of the holds in one place in a timely fashion and with documentation. It is easy to verify the status of the approval or rejection.” Mary Ann Moran, Development “Everything is listed on one page!” Juliann Murphy, Engineering “Nice and easy to clear your holds - no need to go back to emails to see what the holds were for. All centrally located.” Jennifer Mulligan, Diagnostic Radiology “Not getting any more emails - One location for all AP hold items. Therefore the work can be divided up by each of our financial asst. when they look at the worklist instead of me sending emails to each of them and figuring out who they belong to.” Angela E. Lee, MCD Biology
