To process Request for Reimbursements, start from the State Grant Administration Module. If you don't see this option, then likely you may not have permissions.  Then go to Workflows, and select Reimbursements as shown above. 

There are really two major parts to this: Document Validation and Financial Validation. You have to do the Document Validation first, so that's where we'll start. This article will only focus on the Document Validation piece. I will cover the Financial Validation in a separate article.

During Document Validation, there are two key actions:

First, we validate that the documents are accurate and they are what they are supposed to be. If it states that the document is a contract, you confirm that it is actually an contract and not some other type of document or a blank page. This is a compliance step. 

Second, we will compare the document gathered against standardized checklists. This is a completeness step.

When both of these steps are done, then the Document Validation process is complete. You will be able to score both parts.

• The document is what it says it is: true/false
  
• The documents provided sufficient evidence to justify the request made: true/false
  

The steps include:

1. Select RFR to review
   
2. Do a Document Validation
   1. Enter the sample size (percentage rate)
      
   2. Confirm sample size
      
   3. Review the contract documents - with pass/fail
      
   4. Review the non-contract documents - with pass/fail
      
   5. Review set of documents against the check list - with pass/fail on each checklist item
      
3. Do a Financial Validation (may be a separate user)- This step will be covered in a separate article.
   1. Enter the sample size (percentage rate)
      
   2. Confirm the sample size
      
   3. Review each invoice and its associated documents such as proof of payment - with pass/fail
      
   4. Enter the value of the invoice that is justified
      
   5. Complete the set
      
   6. When complete, provide a summary Pass/Fail. 
      
   7. Confirm the total amount that has been validated
