Assign Another Person to Perform Approvals in Your Absence
You can temporarily assign another person, called a delegate, to perform approvals in your absence.
The types of records that a delegate can approve are: Billing invoices, Accounts Payable invoices, Purchasing records (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and request for price quotes), Inventory item requests, and employee absence requests.
The delegate receives approval alerts and can approve and reject records for you. You (the delegator) continue to receive alerts (along with the delegate) so that you are aware of any approvals processed in your absence. At a future time, you can reverse this and resume the task of performing the approvals yourself.
To assign another person to perform approvals in your absence:
- On the toolbar, click and click My Preferences.
- Select the General tab.
- Select the Delegate Approvals to check box.
- In the field to the right of the check box, select the employee who will perform approvals in your absence.
- Click Save.
- When you want to resume performing approvals, clear the Delegate Approvals to check box on the My Preferences dialog box. The delegate stops receiving approval alerts and no longer receives approval assignments on your behalf.
