The Department Approver is responsible for reviewing and approving an Adjustment Notification Application (ANA) adjustment. You will receive an e-mail notification when you have a transaction in your ANA Work List to approve. You can edit a transaction before approving it. After you approve the adjustment, it is removed from your Work List and sent to the Payroll Approver.

NOTE: It is important that you submit or save the record when you finish reviewing or editing it. When you review or edit a record, the system locks it to prevent others from opening it. The record remains locked until you save or submit it, or until you re-select the record at a later time. University Payroll and Benefits (UPB) customer service can unlock a record only in urgent cases. For assistance with this, please contact payinq@uillinois.edu.
