How it works
Follow these three steps to submit and track your request through payment.
Submit your invoice through Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT. Use the guide for step-by-step instructions, including invoice details, coding, and supporting documentation.
Every invoice follows an internal workflow determined by its Approval rule. Grant-funded invoices require additional approvals, which may extend the processing time.
All listed approvers must approve before an invoice can be paid.
Allow 7–14 business days for invoice approval and payment processing. Payments are issued weekly on Thursdays by ACH or manual check.
Once fully approved, your invoice enters the queue for the next payment cycle.
Purchases funded by grants must be pre-approved by the Director of Sponsored Programs to confirm alignment with the approved grant budget. Include the required supporting documentation when submitting your invoice.
Frequently asked questions
Check a submission, view pending approvals, or learn what to do if your invoice is rejected.
If someone in the approval workflow rejects an invoice, it must be corrected and resubmitted. You may receive an email notification, or you can review rejected invoices in Expense Management.
Go to My invoice requests, then select the blue number next to Rejected.
Go to My invoice requests and select Work with my invoice requests. Remove all filters so that all submitted requests appear.
Open the invoice record and review the History of Changes at the bottom of the page. View the Approval rule workflow to identify approvals that are still pending.
When everyone in the approval workflow has approved the invoice, the status changes to Approved, and the invoice is placed in the queue for the next payment cycle.
Approved does not necessarily mean paid. To confirm payment, contact accounting@morrisbrown.edu.
