Reassign a Record in Approval Center

You can reassign records in Approval Center if the employee approval workflow is enabled.

Appropriate access rights based on the approval workflow configuration is also applied for this process. To reassign approval records, the reassign option needs to be configured in the approval workflow.

To reassign a record to another employee:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select My Stuff > Approval Center.
  2. On the Approval Center form, select a record type, such as Expense Reports, from the Approval Center drop-down menu. All requests are displayed in the grid.
  3. To filter approvals by project for expense lines or timesheet lines, click next to Showing All Projects to open the Project Filter dialog box and use it to specify the projects to display in the grid.
  4. If you have the appropriate access rights, you can select the Show All Pending and Complete check box to display all rows across companies and employees that are in Approval, In Progress, and Completed states.
  5. Review and reassign records by performing any of the following actions:
    To reassign Description
    A single record Click Action Required in the Approval Action column and select Reassign from the drop-down list.
    Multiple records Select the check boxes of the approval records that you want to reassign and select Reassign Selected from the Actions drop-down menu.
    All records Select Approve All from the Actions drop-down menu.

    Warning: This action reassigns all the records that you are assigned to approve, not just the records currently shown in the grid.

    If the reassign action cannot be applied to one or more of the records, an explanatory message displays.
  6. On the Change Assignment on Current Step dialog box, enter an employee in the Add New Assignment To or Move Assignment fields and then click Change to delegate the selected requests and close the dialog box.
