Expenditure Pre-Approval Process and TAMS

Pre-approval requests via Transaction Approval Management System (TAMS) are required for:

  1. Salary actions for new career employees, and
  2. Budget augmentations. 

TAMS is being re-designed to manage both salary and budget augmentation requests, as well as to provide a robust and hierarchical expenditure approval system to those department and unit leaders who wish to use such a tool to monitor and approve all expenditure requests within individual units.

Access TAMS:  http://www.ucop.edu/tams

Request TAMS access (subject to training requirement):

      (510) 987-9186 or

       (510) 987-9046

Note:  If your department has not migrated to TAMS, please contact for the paper forms.
