An individual with Charge Code Maintenance permissions may submit requests to have a C-FOP added, reactivated, or inactivated in Chrome River. Chrome River has an electronic workflow that automatically routes Expense Reports (ER) or Pre-Trip Approvals for review and approval based on the project’s C-FOP code. The unit’s charge code reviewer will review and approve expenses charged against a project C-FOP code.
