Approval delegation

You can delegate your approval responsibilities when you are unavailable to approve transactions.

This section appears only if the configuration for General Ledger or Purchasing is enabled for approval delegation and you have approver permission.

If you’re an approver who is part of a user group designated as the approver, delegation doesn’t apply because all other members of your group receive notifications and can approve submissions.

Column	Description
Delegate approvals	Choose the type of approval requests to delegate. When you select an option, the system reroutes new approval requests to your assigned delegate. You won't see the transactions for rerouted approval requests in the Approve Purchasing or Approve GL Journal Entries Transactions page.
Delegate name	The approver who assumes your responsibility for approving transactions while you are out-of-office. Any approvals that have been delegated while you are out-of-office remain with your delegate, even if your out-of-office period ends before the delegate has approved or declined the transaction. Your delegate is assigned in your organization's configuration for General Ledger or Purchasing. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
Start date/End date	Enter the time period for approval delegation. Approvals will only be delegated during the specified time, so you won't need to return to this page to turn off delegation.
