Our goal is to avoid ePAFs having to be returned and resubmitted through the approval queue multiple times for minor issues. While ePAFS that you have already created/submitted will not contain this approval level, anything created/submitted after xx/xx/xx will require it. Please be aware that any queues that you have created default values for will need to be updated.
