Resources & How Tos..


The ISR Report Log is used to research the status of an ISR document. It shows you where, in the approval process, the ISR is sitting. For example, if initiated a New Hire ISR for a student employee and you want to know if the document has been approved by your Approver 1 and/or Approval 2 (University Experiential Learning), you would run an ISR Report Log.

For step-by-step instructions for running an ISR Report Log, view How to Run an ISR Report document.

SAP TIP - You cannot 'Reassign' a Fellowship perna to a Wage position and vice versa.

For example: You have a student in a Fellowship position who you now wish to change to a wage position; an ISR Termination must be initiated for the Fellowship perna and a New Hire ISR initiated for the wage position. When you do this, be sure to put a message in the comments section of each ISR referencing the other to alert HRSS that there is NO BREAK IN SERVICE.
