New NEER Form Access Request and Approval Process

Business Applications Development and Support (BADS) is happy to announce that effective Monday, December 1, 2025, new Non-Employee Expense Report (NEER) form access requests and approvals will be completed systematically through the Oracle Provisioning System Core Access Request Form. Moving away from the current email-based requests enables a more streamlined and efficient process and enhances the user experience.

Key Benefits:

  • A standardized request form that eliminates manual email requests
  • Automated approval routing to the appropriate Administrative Leadership Group (ALG) member that streamlines the approval process
  • An integrated workflow between the provisioning system and Oracle that allows for automatic access once all approvals are complete
  • Reduces administrative burden for both users and the Business Systems Help Desk

New NEER Form Access Process Overview

  1. Request: Request the new responsibility called ‘Non-Employee Expense Report’ via the Oracle Provisioning System Core Access Request Form. As a reminder, an active VPN connection is required to access this form. This form can be submitted by either a preparer or the person requesting NEER form access.
  2. Approve: The submitted request routes systematically to the appropriate ALG member for approval, similar to other Oracle responsibility requests.
  3. Access: Following ALG approval, the Business Systems Help Desk processes the request and the ‘Non-Employee Expense Report’ responsibility is automatically added to the user’s profile within Oracle EBS. New users will be able to access the Non-Employee Expense Report form within an hour of the responsibility being added.

This process outlined above only applies to new NEER form access requests initiated after the December 1, 2025 effective date. No action is needed for users who currently have NEER form access.
